Boy, is it ever cold here! 4*f (-15.55c). With real feel -1*f (-18.33c) I know that doesn’t even compare to those who live up north, but for us—it’s cold!
Oh, well, (I tell myself) it is January after all. 🙂

I’ve been thinking about being 75—WHICH I AM VERY GRATEFUL TO BE!!!
And this is what I’ve come up with:
Being 75 is really rather neat. I’m still alive. I am still very mobile. I can still work and keep working hard and take a nap every afternoon to recharge! 🙂
But more than anything, I no longer care about all those things I used to care about when I was younger.
In the best possible of ways!
Getting older is a great and wonderful joy! You finally are at peace with yourself, your body, and (even) how to approach the world.
So, if I have one bit of advice from my very advanced age: EMBRACE your age, each and every step of the way!!

I was raking leaves—when my really cute hubby came by
Who wants to rake leaves when he is standing right there 🙂

There was then—-the grass was green, we had leaves on the trees
Out I would go early in the morning to spend the whole day outside
Now—the grass is dry, the leaves are gone and it’s been cold baby–so cold I had trouble staying outside
Still out I go with Mom and Boo Berry each and every morning
For after all there are things to do—MOUSE!
Stuff to play with —-LEAF
Smells to smell—ugh! Stray cat!
Cold or not—
hot or not
There are things I need/must do
Until it is time
To go inside!

I love the music of the early morning, and
When the choir sings in the evening.
I Love both times—I really do!

I have a theory—-or at least a comforting thought— I wonder if we were really never cast out of Eden—our heads, bodies, and minds were just turned away so we shut our eyes afraid.
But, maybe, just maybe (anyhow this is how I like to think) if we open our eyes, turn our heads and bodies, and MINDS back around, maybe three times like dogs do before they lay down—we are redeemed and can see Eden again! How can anything be more beautiful than this amazing gorgeous Earth!

OH! LOOK! TWO HEARTS I SEE!
And one standing alone just for my eyes to find!
Hearts! A gift from the Earth to me and now for you!

Third week! There are only 12 weeks in a season—we are moving forward.
Rather like the fence line—forward we go—down the straight and narrow—while over there, yes, just over there the road is doing whatever it feels like doing (sorta like the weather, don’t ya think?)—first straight then a sharp turn…roads and weather—you just can’t trust them to stay straight. Not like a fence line!
Week Three! YAY!

Mom grabbed me up and loaded me into the pick-up with Dad and off we went
OH! MY! GOSH! HUGE! GIANT! ANIMALS!!! I sat on the pick-up seat and refused to get out!
Did I say HUGE!!!
THEY ARE HUGE!!!
Boo Berry
Well, well, well, looks what has arrived on the farm!
Guess I had better be careful to not get around all those hooves.

WOOF! WOOF! Come on Mom! We want in, too many big things on the farm!
