After doing ‘not much’ all day yesterday I decided I had better get to moving and bring the firewood in for the night.
But on my way to the wood pile I felt the tiredness starting to lift from my body, mind and soul
The air was still, the sky blue, and the sun just starting to set. I had waited a tad long to ‘get busy’ you see.
I’m glad I did.
The golden light brightened the frigid air; highlighting the brown and dormant plant life in my yard.
Putting the empty wheelbarrow down Boomer and took off for a wee walk…letting the cold brighten my skin, the fresh air stripped away the warmth of the house, the tiredness which enveloped me from the start of the day until…
I went out for the nights wood supply.
Boomer and I walked a quarter of a mile, not very far, but enough — breathing in the last of the bright blue day, breathing in the gold and rose quarts glow of the coming night. The farm was beautiful in the lavender glow of the twilight sky.
Walking back toward the house the Paonia Mountains picked up that amazing color, the one which makes me feel like I’m looking at the world through rose-colored glasses.
As the day lost it’s hold upon the land, the air picked up into a faint little breeze
And the last dramatic rays of light filled everything and everyone with flush of prefect color called perfection!
From my world to your heart,
Linda

I love it when the mountains turn to lavender at sunset. You have such breath taking views that it takes my breath away……. Raining hard today; should be snow.

It’s that marathon thing…and the prices are getting outrages…$7 for a pound of hamburger.

That’s why we shop the clearance and reductions and put meat straight into the freezer, and I also go to the butcher and buy the bits other people don’t want! My Ma taught me all sorts of things to do with the ‘ugly bits’, she was great at creative economy.

We don’t have a butcher, I wish we did. Everything here is now big box store. Sigh

We’re lucky, this is meat producing country, and there are still plenty of people who want and buy from a butcher. As well as the commercial ones and a big abattoir down the road, there are a handful of mobile butchers who go out to people’s properties to do a home kill; the big stations have their own cold rooms so they don’t have to hit the shops more than once a month. Just as well when they have to drive 300km or so to get there!
