My Day-To-Day Photos

On days after I've nearly killed myself working on the yard and the place starts to take shape - days when I feel I have some time to just sit and enjoy, life makes sense. Sometimes it's a feeling that only lasts for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, but once in awhile, it can last an entire day. Today was one of those days.

I made it even better by adding a little place to have tea. I don't know why I didn't think of that sooner. A few crocuses are up in the garden, along with a gazillion daylilies. I really have to start finding new homes for them. I had my first wood tick yesterday. Disgusting. Field work has started on the farm, and I will try not to let that add to the stress of the current situation. Just day by day, one foot in front of the other. I'm beginning to un...
