I will be off the air for a few days. Where I am going tomorrow, you cannot follow. But not to worry. Miss C just needs some personal days.
I will be unreachable until possibly Thursday morning, maybe Friday. No dramas. No worries. Just no words from me for a while. Until I am back on the farm.
My big black sunglasses, a scarf to cover my hair, and you will see my black heeled shoe with magenta arches barely showing pulled up and back – then in behind the closing door of a swiftly moving shiny ebony car. (obviously not mine as the cooking oil car is neither swift nor shiny!)
I will return of course. But you and I will be doing without each other for a few days. Just a few days off that is all.
The longest break I have taken from this journal for years and years.
Take a break too, exercise, eat up, stay strong, because when I return the season will begin in earnest.
Love celi

I love you!
Hope all is well and we will miss you for a few days.
Yes all is well not to worry.. this is a pretty full-on blog space – being daily, so taking a whole week away is unnerving .. c
I am so glad for you that you took the plunge! I am still working on how to re-introduce myself to my blog practice, since now that I took my first break, and it was huge, it felt so good!! May you find joy in all that you do—and that you DON’T do! 🙂 Big hugs from here. K
We will really miss you, but we owe you a break after your selfless daily efforts for so long. Keep safe and well and enjoy your break.
lots of love,
ViV xox
Thank you Viv – exactly right.. many thanks – see you soon. c
This feels very mysterious and a trifle scary. Hope all is well and you will be missed. We will keep good thoughts for you and yours during those days.
No need to be scared – I am not! c
love you loads
see you when you get back )
It’s going to be strange drinking my morning coffee without checking the State Of The Farmy, who said what in the Lounge of Comments, and looking at the world through your eyes (and the eye of Camera House). But if it involves high heels and sunnies, it can’t be all bad? Enjoy (if appropriate), and come back to us happy, healthy and in good spirits. We’ll be here.
I think sometimes in the blog arena we feel the need to share too much – or feel an obligation to do so. Whereas sometimes a little space and quiet is more appropriate. c
Quite right.
Indeed. Everyone is entitled to, and needs, a break from ‘blogbligation’. We’ll miss you… and we’ll see you later.
Take care dear miss c xx
I feel a sadness …. Laura
We’ll miss you – take care 🙂
May you have courage and strength for whatever lies ahead. I will miss your posts in the meantime. 🙂
Ohh I will miss your posts and the fellowship. Safe travels 😀
Ebony car… Well, I don’t know enough about the U.S. to know whether my associations are even remotely relevant. Ugh. This post should be reported to TransparencyInternational.org!! Seriously, though (even if just as a prophylactic measure): Good thoughts galore for you, esteemed high-heeled Lady of the Farmy.
Thank you Nuri, not to worry.. c
Take care! I hope all is well with you…this post is quite mysterious. Looking forward to your daily posts appearing in my Reader again when you get back.
No mystery – very boring – I am just asking for some time off to sort some things out.. many thanks.. c
Everyone has noted my thoughts and sentiments very well so far, and while I never complain about a good mystery, this one has me on edge slightly. Minds begin to assume all sorts of odd or horrid things, but… if we need to be told more I think we all realize you will share when ready so I am going to imagine a story line with MISS C: SPY EXTRAORDINAIRE – ‘By day a mild mannered farmer, by night…saving the heartland from evil doers while ever so stylish…”
Best Miss C. Hurry back 🙂
Yes, if it were a problem I would tell you – it is all very dull – but I am not getting into details here because of a privacy issue. I need some time now. c
Honestly…I don’t think you should feel you have to share everything about your life here, including problems. Your blog, your life, just do what you have to do.
