mud

It rained today. (actually yesterday)

It really rained rained hard today! Add some wind and you have the makings for a miserable day. 

To make it worse the rain gear I had wasn't exactly water proof. Soggy was my day. Mud everywhere! In your hair, on your glasses, in your boots.

I remember as a kid the "elements" never stopped my Dad from putting us to work. Especially when the work couldn't wait. Memories flooded back yesterday. When it is harvest season you work no matter the weather. (the break comes at the end) I hope the snow holds off a couple more weeks. 

So if you are hot, cold, wet...... suck it up and quit your whining and hope you're dressed for the weather. 

They say....

Home is where the Heart is.

or

Home is where you hang your hat.

Well we are finally in our new house in Lakeville Nova Scotia. After three months of vagabonding and hanging our hat in many of our friends homes and hopefully not wearing out welcome, we are home, again. 

Yes it feels good, although it is already a little chilly in the morning and very soon fires will be necessary. Fall is in full force here and the harvest is wanting  to come in out  from the impending cold. It is fun to be back farming country. The smells bring back many memories from when I was a kid. The leaves are just starting to turn and frost has already deadened the the cold sensitive plants. Good thing autumn is long here. 

We have two acres to rome and around 500 on my Dads place. Far away from the rat race of traffic and road rage. Refreshing it is!!! I can see the big dipper every night and the sunrise & sunsets are spectacular. I forgot how beautiful it is here!!!
