2019 Farm Life

Wow, Skep, busy busy as always, always so much going on! How do you manage to keep track of everything, do you have to write it all down or can you just remember? It seems like dozens of different projects to manage, big and small! Alpacas sound really cute, although I can never remember the difference between them and llamas (and wouldn't know which was which if I was looking at them). Both cute, though! xx

About the term "sacred space." I feel it when I clear out clutter, then clean a space down to the corners, and baseboards.... I can actually feel my Grandmother's farmhouse clean around me.... I can remember the smell, and feel of her sunny rooms, and what it felt to be in a space someone created for for me, and all she loved.
It's like throwing a switch..... sacred or not sacred space.
Sometimes I feel it in the kitchen after I break glass, then clean the floor so I'm 100% sure there's not a sliver of glass left. SO CLEAN, and it's how care and time and attention FEELS when space is attended to with such care.
For me.

Hi y'all!
That windstorm we had was mighty ferocious. By the morning, there were 43,000 Potomac Edison customers (First Energy has 3 different power cos.) in WV. By Friday morning, I still didn't have power and there were only 1400 left to reconnect. By 4 pm Friday, I was back in business though.
Holly carried 10 gals of pond water up to the house a day, so we could flush. I had both wood stoves rockin'... and the stove top is propane, so we ate. Amazing how many things I have stored though, that require the oven. That needs to change, I guess. I have plenty of solar lights - but turned out I didn't have a good way to charge ipad or phone. Phone I charged in the car.
All in all, that 4 days kept me hopping a LOT till I finally went to bed. Slowly but surely getting caught up with what went on in the mean time.
Hopalong:
Frankly, when I think "Amazon" -- I think YOU!!
Just amazing.
And sounds like H is too. 10 gallons of uphill water carrying?
Wowsers. Respect.
Still, old lady, be sensible. (I can pee on any parade...)
Don't hurt youssef!
Hugs

Oh I respect the limitations - too much, according to the kid.
But I was able to keep up with both stoves and not wear myself out too badly. Getting ready for snow, now tomorrow - and kinda still "recovering" from the ABBY-normal we've been through.
