Our company left early this morning and Hubby and the Daughters are back in school. So I am having a peaceful reprieve. I've even written some more poetry which you can read here. With a fairly heavy snowfall accumulating outside it is a good day to think and just be. No one to cook for, no one to appease, all my own, a day of reprieve. The wind is not blowing at least not enough to notice and everything looks quiet and pristine. The sheep and alpacas are bedded down in the quiet too. Hubby managed to finish putting in the sink in the bathroom downstairs over the weekend and I am wood burning one of my poems onto our bedroom door. It is a poem that I wrote to Hubby a few years back and somehow seems appropriate for our bedroom door. So things are once again progressing on the renovation. It is somewhat slow and maybe even painfully slow, but at least it is progress.
This day of no demands is such a gift. For weeks I have been fighting ear infections and bronchitis and H1N1 and it has taken it's toll. I still am tired all the time but it does seem to be getting better. I do more every day and I am not coughing nearly as much... I think that it's due to the steroids and anti-biotics that I am on the mend. I will stay in much of this week in an effort to get rid of any lingering illness and hopefully that will put me back to my old healthy self. Still a little knitting, spinning and weaving won't hurt and while my motivation to do these things is sadly lacking, I think it is just that I need to do it to be motivated. So for now it is wood burning and poetry but tomorrow it's spinning and weaving.
I never thought I'd say it but thank heavens for this snow.... it's quiet fall to the ground forces me to have this lovely day of reprieve.... there was no twisting my arm I assure you.
