A thread flows affirming life
with a humble reminder we’re
only nests made of frail twigs,
stray hairs, a cooled teardrop.
It’s the spirit given our daily
chores, caring for old dogs
and ducks beyond laying,
that mend each one to whole.

This is about so much more than barn chores. Thank you!
Yup. Thanks, Elizabeth.

Precious words…precious image. Thanks, Anna
I love chores. Thanks, Lynell.
I do too, they give a framework and rhythm to the day. When I don’t have to do chores I don’t accomplish much else either!
Simply wonderful in the full sense.
Thank you, I like these to leak out of the barn sometimes… 🙂
Amen!

For some reason years went by without me appreciating filling a trough. Recently I’ve found it to be my favorite outdoor task. The way the sparkling clean water swirls and reflects and the way the animals come over to appreciate it even before it’s full (and chew on the hose), the time it takes that makes me pause and look around. Tonight I was doing something else so I just left the hose in there and the moment it was full I regretted not standing there enjoying it.
Now that it’s cool out, my animals have taught me to bring them hot water every day to drink. Bath-water hot. They love it – check it out: https://youtu.be/rxI3qeEC2XY
hahaha, I think that donkey was just being a brat! “I’m gonna drink it all so you can’t have any”, notice he quit drinking as soon as the horse lost interest!
Great comment, it is about the little things. Thanks, Lytha.
