Woke up to sleet and ice on the windows this morning. I cancelled my haircut as I hate to drive on slick roads. I will try again on Thursday.
Not sure what I did today – nothing much for sure. I did fix a crock pot of chili we had for dinner. I picked out the beans the best I could. Not sure it is going down well. We will see what happens. I have been avoiding spicy food and not sure it was wise to try some today.
I took a long nap again this afternoon. It was cloudy, foggy and wet outside and felt like a good day to curl up under a thick blanket with my heating pad. I fell asleep and slept hard for two hours. Made up for some lost sleep last night. Having a bit of trouble fully waking up but that is OK. I don’t have anything I have to do tonight so can just rest and maybe knit a bit. I haven’t even knitted one stitch yet today.
When I went down to take care of the chickens this morning I got to play wack a doodle with them. I didn’t want to let them outside today and they were hard to keep inside when I opened the door to gather eggs. I would get one pushed back and then another would pop up. They gave me 14 eggs today – a new record for this group. Still only getting one green shelled egg a day so still have some that haven’t started laying yet. I have not yet identified a rooster if I have one so could have up to 29 eggs in one day once they all get laying.
It has been a very quiet day on the prairie. The fog and clouds seemed to absorb whatever sounds were being made around the prairie. It felt a bit isolating to not be able to see much beyond the fence around the property. We have probably gotten about half of an inch of rain. Sure could use several inches. We are still to get more moisture over the next two days so we will see what it adds up to when it is done.
This was a good day to be quiet and go inward. There is a full moon shining above the clouds tonight. Hoping the energy will shift a bit and not be so heavy over the coming days. So much sadness and worry energy in the world right now. It felt good to have some rain today to help wash some of the heaviness away.
Grateful for long afternoon naps on cloudy, foggy, rainy days, grateful for chili on a cold day, and grateful for the shifting of energy that is occurring right now.
