Happy talk, keep talking happy talk, Talk about things you’d like to do, You gotta have a dream, if you don’t have a dream, How you gonna have a dream come true?
Do you remember South Pacific? When we were very young my Mum and Dad took us to see the musical. I never forgot it. I was in love… with Bloody Mary. My mother was not entirely approving of my choice. Though I never understood why for quite some time. Still, I have also been known to ‘wash that man right out of my hair!’ A sentiment she did approve of.
Like a real life soundtrack the lyrics have cycled through my head all my life. Except I always remembered the first line of Bloody Mary’s song as Happy, Happy , Happy, Happy talk. So I have rewritten it. Sometimes it is the right time to talk happy, it works you know.
And you’ve got to have a dream, if you don’t have a dream, how will you know when that dream comes true?
I always dreamt of having a little farm and living all day with the animals in the gardens.
Dreams can be hard work.
But worth the work. We all need a dream. One we can achieve. Developing a sustainable, self sufficient, simple life is one of my dreams.
We grow more than piglets though you know.
We also grow shade!
We have finished cutting a very heavy field of the good hay. It was thick and so tall after all this rain, that the cutting took a long time and is rough in patches. Day One of drying commences today. Hopefully three good hot days will do it. And we will bale it on the fourth or fifth. Fingers crossed the weather holds for us…

Love that song. I am always so happy watching your dream unfold. I love the piggies!
Happy Happy must always BE HAPPY
I too remember South Pacific. I loved most of the old Musicals.
Today, I am loving this post, and looking forward to catching up when we move to the mountain. You encourage me, Celi!
I’m sure you’ve been asked before… but what time do you get up and how much time do you allot for writing each morning. It is most impressive! And bedtime about 9pm i’m guessing? w
