The Shift into a lower summer gear

Yesterday. Yesterday the shift into a lower cruisier gentler quieter gear finally happened.

It was not warm, but the produce came up in baskets  from the gardens. The rhythm of movement without jerks and pulls and pounces. A good calm successful day.

Boo spend the afternoon lying under a hydrangea bush. When I picked him up from the vets he was howling  like a wolf at the moon.

But still everything slid like a gently launched dingy onto a still dawn pond. And we settled.

Today the farmy is having visitors from the city. Children. They are going to help me shift the fat baby chicks into their intermediate house. The Stock Trailer is being turned into a temporary shelter until they are big enough for their Ark on the grass. It will be ready in a week or so when they are big enough to go out onto the grass.  But until then they can stretch  out and grow in the big covered trailer. We will still run a heating lamp until they have acclimated.

Then the children are going to forage in the gardens and find some lunch. I will make pizza bases and we will see what they come up with.

So I had better get a wriggle on and get busy with chores.The dehydrator needs loading and another load of apples into the pot not to mention my animals.  It is so cold this morning. I huddled in bed last night refusing to get up for another blanket. I was just to far gone into sleep. Held in place by sleeps gravity.  It is Summer! I shoould not need blankets.

OK, hitting the ground running well loping actually. A gentle lope.

Have a lovely day

your friend, celi
