Happy birthday to my grandson Tagen. He turns 13 today. He has grown into a sensitive, gentle young man who I am very proud of. Love my little buddy!
It has been a lazy day so far for me. I’m still a bit tired and unmotivated to do anything. Guess it is a good thing I don’t have anything I have to get done. I need some groceries but am not going to get out in this cold wind. Trying to work up the courage to walk down and feed the chickens.
Roxy was scratching at the door so I went to see what she needed. She was coated in ice so I let her come in for a bit. She has been sleeping in front of the fireplace for over an hour now. Her coat is nice and dry and warm now. The other two dogs are hiding out under the heat lamp in the garage. I closed the garage door so the garage will stay a bit warmer for them. The cats looked outside and turned right around and jumped up to their warm spot above the washing machine. I haven’t seen the chickens out in the pen yet today. It is too cold for beast or man out today.
I keep telling myself if I go down and take care of the chickens I then can take a short nap. So far even that carrot dangling in front of me hasn’t gotten me out of my chair. I did manage to eat breakfast and lunch but that is all I have done today.
The prairie must have gotten about two inches of snow. It is hard to tell as the wind has been gusting to 40 MPH or more and has blown the snow around. I still had a bit of snow left from the last snow storm. The sun has come out this afternoon so maybe that will help me find some energy.
I’m excited for the full wolf super moon Sunday evening. There will be a lunar eclipse that night too. So far the weather forecast is showing clear skies. If anyone wants to come out and watch it with me holler. I will be around and would love to have company to share it with.
Sitting in my peaceful but sleepy valley this afternoon. Life on the prairie always seems extra quiet when I come home from being with someone for a couple of days. I love the quiet of the prairie but also love being with someone. Wish I knew how to be in two places at the same time. I do feel my soul being refilled and balanced as I sit in the sunshine in my chair this afternoon. Maybe that is all that I can get done today. Maybe that is enough!
Grateful for the sunshine this afternoon, grateful for my grandson, and grateful for a day of rest and recharging.
