Well, another quiet mornin' and consistent with spring in New Mexico, 'bout noon time, the warm and cool air start mixin' and discussin' who's goin' which way and whether or not a thunderstorm would help resolve matters.
Still re-cooperatin', seems to me, from the week; startin' off as it did with my journey to Albuquerque and back, then proceedin' on to the avalanche of email, sortin' out the why, how and wherefore of our little piece a dirt in the wilderness, with my extremely kind sponsor.
Spent the mornin' discussin the pros and cons with my best friend and moral counsel, childhood chum and vagabond philosopher, not to mention foster brother, from Tennesee; we always have a lively and heart warming conversation, one way or another, drawin' upon wisdom and quotes from pretty near every saint from the dawn of recorded history to the present, to support our generally random conclusions and insights. A short nap, generally, required to recover from the brunt of the enlightenment and good humor.
And, all goes well, see if I can't "commence ta bathe". Had occasion to look in a mirror the other day, freshening up at the tradin' post, and noticed, with all this activity, I may have got kinda re-miss, re-garden my personal hygiene. And, view of our an-ticipated encounter with the trustees, re-garden our parcel in the wilderness, a shave, a bath and some fresh clothes, would likely come re-commended. Thing is, when it's been a while, and a while before that, gettin' fresh can take some doin'; special out here, spring time, in the wind. The temperature can swing 10-15 degrees in a matter of minutes and ya get wet in a 20-30 mile an hour squall, the wind chill can drop that first 10-15, another 10-15 in a blink; not to mention blowin' sand and pine needles which can leave ya wonderin' why ya tried and figurin' ya might have ta try again tomorrow, 'fore the difference'll show.
So, I figure startin' 48 hours in advance of the required pre-sentability, is just plain good judgement.
And, there's still ponies, very patient ponies, I might add, needin' attention, both here in the corral and out yonder on the grass. So, as usual, and to quote a wise man, "too much candy and not enough pockets, put it all in!". I sure enjoy my life; bathin' ta business, pancakes ta ponies, back ta the barn and over again!
Just lucky, I suppose; way, way fortunate.
Have a great day!
Best,
Good grief, you could end up dirtier than before you took a bath ... LOL! Glad I have my inside mini-shower with battery water pump. A Woman has to have a few uptown things. :D
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to have people in your life who "see" the real you and can easily exchange ideas and thoughts and understand. What a gift. :)
The "pancakes ta ponies" business sounds good! Nothing like the joy in your heart of a life well lived. ♥
Blessings on your Earth project,
Peaceful
