Today my new farm worker arrives. If all goes well she will stay a few months which will be nice. She has been working on a goat farm so I look forward to hearing her story.
We all have a story. Many of us have more than one. If you only had one word to describe yourself what would it be.
I have thought about this often and for me the word has always been ECLECTIC. I also like how the word feels when you say it out loud. It has a Click. It feels Well Read.
Of course there are two Yous. The You that you see and the You that they think they See. 
Above is a common scene here. All the young ones laying down and Lady Astor standing above them. Ready to give them a good smack if they get up from their nap too early.
There is a face inside that face. I cannot cut off that patch of loose skin on his cheek, he takes a swipe at me if I move my bandage scissors too close to his ear. We will have to wait on that one. 
My table of potions.
I hope you have a lovely day.

One word to describe myself: I’m afraid ‘eclectic’ is my word also . . . and always has been . . . and the older I get the more ‘impulsive’ comes into the scenario 🙂 ! Nothing really to lose and perchance something to gain ? Fun!! Oh yes, Wai looks better day by day . . . I’ll go for series of cloudy days so he can get out!!
yes – he enjoyed this afternoons clouds – and the rain.. the rain must feel nice on his poor skin
Wai is looking much better! That tight skin must be akin to having the hair at the nape of your neck get stuck in your zipper only much much worse. My word for me has always been invisible but I think for others it might be capable.
That is a very good description of what he is going through – i was thinking a plaster but that is not nearly as painful..
Following the idea of sunburn, I came across this article – from “Alive Magazine”, which has been published in Vancouver BC and distributed to Health Food Stores in Canada for decades. All of these articles are available for search on their website… Thought perhaps you might find something useful for Wei? http://www.alive.com/lifestyle/emergency-remedies-for-sun-holidays/
I’ve been pondering this word thing. I feel LUCKY. I often am not, but I stubbornly see things that way anyway. And I’ve noticed that even when things are not going particularly well, I still feel, deep inside, HAPPY and OPTIMISTIC. Both of which are probably off shoots of feeling lucky. So I’m gonna go with that. Sounds like a dog’s name, but oh well.
The other offshoot of feeling lucky is being grateful. Sorry for rambling, but I needed to add that. I feel grateful all the time.
