Friday chores

The puppy is learning to swim. The cows have begun to calf. While Winnie still has not, her udder gets bigger by the day and my excitement for fresh milkyogurtcheesebutter is overpowering. The chickens need their water filled twice a day. Or maybe they just need two waterers. The sheep are on "pasture" cleaning up the periphery of fields overcome by weeds. And the garlic is looking fantastic despite my watering negligence.

It felt like no transition at all. We went in just a few days from the winter of minimal chores and twiddling our thumbs to summer wake ups at 5:30am and going to til dark. There is never much balance, only extremes.

    I usually find it exciting to have new chores coming up after the long winter sleep... So have you guys moved into YOUR house yet?

    I think when we are living life to its fullest, there isn't really ever quite the balance we wish we could have -just extreme moments that leave us exhausted -but well spent -and the boredom waiting for it to seize us once more. xxoo
