While the sunlight hours in a day has dwindled and life is getting closer to our winter solstice I am reminded of slowing down.
Day light makes things so much easier to see…it is easier to see how much water is in the trough or where to step on the snow covered ground…it mught even help if you have lost your keys outside around the barn…
This morning I woke up to get ready to go to work…had a coffee and some breakfast…did a little reflection…and then went to do chores…
I noticed that my keys were not on the clasp that they normally are on…
This double ended clasp I have been using lately to hold my keys…I normally have them connected to my belt loop…which is exactly where the clasp was this morning when I went to grab my keys…however the keys were not with the clasp…
So I looked with a flashlight as best I could…I looked all around the barn…and now I will wait for daylight when I can see better…
Yesterday I was in the barn mucking out stalls and I built a new stall or pen (whatever you would like to call it) for the doe to kid in as she is expecting in the next month or so…I think that I may have lost them while working in the barn…I have turned the house upside down…I need to have better light in the barn and around the barn…
So here I am slowing down for the day not because I wanted to but because no matter how hard I try I cannot walk near as fast as I can drive…
