Fall Again Already?
Like everyone else I'm saying where did the summer go? I spent this summer repairing the homestead. I've been painting it for two years a s single person job. Of course my painting entails, brushing and prepping it first as the anal side wants the job done right. I did sneak off a couple time with the Dog Vinnie for camping with E friends and still one more camping weekend coming. The house has 4 sides done now and two more to go. Phew, feel like I've been at it for years. The heat wave this summer, both, that lasted 10 days each time wiped out many good painting days.
And now we're heading into Christmas time. Jeeeeze, and they keep coming.
This year, things will be a little different. As life changes and events roll through and roll on. The events in my life have taken a new twists upon my changing an old friendship for the most part of 20 years and having it become an intimate part of my life. My friend, two states away,in Vermont, has put some life back into this soul. (friendship is good)
Exactly what are expectations anyway? I have them all the time for the homestead, for the kids, (now grown and married themselves) My personal expectations are much tougher now. I place on myself expectations to meet my own criteria, which is constant and forever changing. I am a believer that all is good, but one must work within the confines of being a good soul and collecting karma that is always going full circle, always coming back to you. Do as you would want done for you, or what goes out comes back. You know the golden rules of life.
When I see the leaves turning with fall I realize the planet is once again about to generate a new cleaning of it's self. Winter will bring the cleansing of the planet, freezing the ground and cleansing it's self of negative things.
Fall is winter prep time. Wood needs to be brought in, and the farm needs to be put in order. The gardens need to be bark nuggeted and the new bulbs need to be put in. The front porch needs to be cleaned and furniture covered. When guest come we shall sit around Maggie" the kitchen cook stove and we shall chat about the migrating birds and the wonders of living rurally. Fall is the prep time for the soul as well. Getting it ready for some solitude and winter experiences.
This year closes into winter on a good note.
I shall write more often instead of only seasonally.
Life is good. Life is real. Life is short. Use it to it's fullest.
Always,
jurn and Vinnie the Dog!
