Hours in the Life...

4:30 a.m.  Calming fears as my little one’s temperature rises.

4:50 a.m.  Email drafted canceling today’s plans.

5:48 a.m.  Hot water on for coffee (French press-the best!)

5:52 a.m.  Balancing old grapes, leftover chard, oats, and corn for the girls, the hens.

6:00 a.m.  Driving a big screw through a cabbage to hang for the girls.

                   (Trying not to harm myself.)

6:15 a.m.  Coffee in hand-to the garden with my big love.

6:17 a.m.  Gentle awakening with prayers, surrounded by blooms.

6:30 a.m.  Sighing deeply, filled with gratitude.

And so begins my day Tuesday, August 20, 2013
