Here & Now

Loving // our Missy-Moo milking cow. She's an absolute pet. I've of course always been very fond of her, having raised her on a bottle from a newborn. But since she has become a milking cow I feel even more attached to her; so grateful to her that she not only produces enough milk to feed us and her own baby, but that she lets us have it.

Eating // mangoes, lychees and dragon fruits.

Drinking // herbal teas. I'm making a concerted effort to incorporate them into my diet more.

Wearing // gumboots, and wearing them with gladness! They haven't yet become an 'everyday shoe', but having to put them on just even once or twice made me happy.

Feeling // that the world is not a very nice place. Everything seems so very unsteady at the moment, right across the globe. I feel ever so grateful for our little patch, our place of peace. It feels like a sanctuary.

Wanting // to feel a little more certain about the future. I really haven't a clue what this year may hold. It is both an exciting thought, and a daunting one.

Thinking // about how much we have achieved in what is really a relatively short amount of time. Recently was our 'moving in here anniversary'. In just three short years we have accomplished so much on this block of land; I wonder what the next three years will hold for here.

Dreaming // of the autumnal growing season, of the lush grass that usually comes with March and April.
