i almost see the light

reflected off the surface of my porcelain workbench!

i got it mostly done yesterday
i am most likely going to finish it today
i do have errands/bills fast in the morning
but then i can relax and just clean that corner

it's a long time coming huh?

ok i have some big news that i will tell you all by the weekend (either saturday or sunday)
but not until it happens ok?
meanwhile
back at the farm so to speak

phoebe let lilli in the upper day pen, without trying to kill her
so maybe the worst of the moult is over
they are all still trying to kill momma, and i hope by winter that's over too
but if not i have the three spaces in the pens

one pullet is driving me nuts, she gets out then later goes back into her pen
i keep telling her 'we're going to eat you first'
it doesn't seem to bother her
annoying little chicken that she is

the weather she is a turning........ btw mary from peter, paul and mary died
so the times are turning as well

this year for many of us was strange and tested our meddle
and
teaching many many grasshoppers to be ants (remember the fable?)

i know that i need to put even more away, as i am low on whole grain
and right now ironically due to a BAD canning season......sugar!

maybe it's a very good thing to assess and reorder your life and living space
it is also in my opinion to live with the rhythm of the seasons
spring, summer, fall you labor and winter you sleep and rest
i think we're healthier for it as we were designed for millenium to live that way
i also think hard physical work is a good thing
why pay a gym when you can get the same and more benefits from growing your own food
stacking your own wood
and being more directly responsible for your life and yourself

anyway
off the soap box today
i have some small short 'in town' errands today
and i have inventory to take
and then
the porcelain corner needs to be finished

oh one more thing.........
who all is going to be a rhinebeck?
drop me an E ok?
