Stop worrying about me. You know I look after myself. I have always maintained that a person can deal with a decent stress load as long as she has a Rest space in front of her.
We work hard for the morning then have our siesta time from 12 to 3pm. At 3pm we start again. The siesta should be written in stone because it is a Rule and never broken. We eat whatever we are having for lunch then down we go. Writing time, rest time, study time. The only work I do in those three hours is feed Molly her lunch and feed the Piglettes their lunch and prep the dinner.
So I want no more lectures about taking it easy. When a farmer la la’s about and takes it easy animals die. I work hard but no harder than most people with jobs and I will NOT be taking it easy in the near future. I am no fragile flower. This is my job – we have been through this before.
Until then I have my siesta.
I still have two piglets who cannot get up. They walk now, but if they fall over they cannot get back up. And they will not give up. So until they give up I will not give up on them. They all eat very well, are playful and are improving every day. This is not the time to begin taking it easy. We are winning. Time to power through.
I think you understand. This life of ours is so small, so temporary, so short, so transient. We lose nothing by being totally involved in it and doing the very best we can with it.
Now, look at that header picture – do you think Poppy is looking a little ROUND!? Here it is again. 
I hope you have a good day.
love celi

Fiesty, that one
There’s something very nice about the top picture- the little green leafy plant in the truck bed against the metal. The top of the red truck next to the house repeating the red of that bit of cord on the truck side. The Dali-like image with the side mirror in the dog’s middle. The angles and concentrated Hopper coloring/shading. I like this one a lot
And those – wait those are piggies among the greenery – not leaves like I thought a first. Fun
(There will be enough time for taking it easy when we’re in rocking chairs….as granny on the farm used to say.) (Insert giggles here)
stress can trigger hardships,that even we cannot understand, until we stop worrying and learn to relax ❤
