I am in vermont waiting for the arrival of my mum, dylan and elle. I arrived way ahead of schedule after a smooth drive. walked the dogs around the darmouth campus and now i sit at a cafe before attempting some lite christmas shopping. I have not left the farm in so long, i am a bit nervous about the animals being there alone, but i do have someone coming for afternoon feeding. in a conversation with my sister yesterday she told me that i was funny, that when she reads the blog and i name mike. tolstoy, clarabelle, isabelle and so on it is as if i am talking about friends, oh dear readers i feel as if i am( i am nutty)
my sister gave us the biggest scare and the realization on how quickly things can change. she is doing better and might be home soon. i was truly terrified. her and i discussed changes we want to make, the promise to get healthy to get rid of the things that can contribute to stress that can cause illness. i also realized how little i had spoken to her these last months and how not often enough i told her i loved her and i also understood that there is many very important people in my life that i had not shared these words with. what better time to be given awakening such as now.
I am happy that the kids are coming to the farm and look forward to seeing it through their eyes and hope to share our time with you. i will post tomorrow or christmas day because i enjoy it.
