Days Off!

Don't you just love it when you get to spend time with the one that you love. As life on a farm is non stop it can be really hard to spend quality time with one another. Sometimes we find that we have each such busy days that when we are home at night, I am on my laptop and Farmer Brown is on his PC. The night seems to pass by and then one of us realises that it is 8.30pm or 9.30pm so it must be time for bed. Power down the computers and off to bed we go until another day rises!

We need to cherish the days off that we have together. As I work part time off the farm it can be really hard to co-ordinate our time together, but thankfully we are not into calving time yet, so that means that Farmer Brown can take time off during the week if he gets all his jobs done.

Today was one of those days, and oh how I did enjoy being with my Farmer Brown. We even got to leave the compound! Oh sorry I meant the Farm! We didn't really do anything, but we did get to spend time holding hands, walking around the shops in the mall. Oh the simple things in life are so bloody great! But yet again we are on seperate sides of the room, each of us at our own computers, but hey we are in the same room and we still love each other and that is what matters in the big picture. Thank god for Farmer Brown!

Oh dear, yet another frosty morning!

Well I must admit that I am finding it hard to get out of bed so early on these frosty frosty mornings! I even hold off from going for the first morning pee as long as I can! Although it is cold, there are pretty scenes to behold out the window...frosted and dew covered spiderwebs, crunchy grass underfoot, steam escaping from the mouths of the cows, oh and look at that, one frozen pet pussy cat who is trying to beat down the door to be let in and be fed! Poor pussy cat!

A lazy day for me today. I have done all the house work so I might just be indulgent and sit in front of the fire with my new book and read for the morning, watching Farmer Brown outside as he goes about his chores! We do have the afternoon off and are heading to the big smoke of H-Town!

Hope you all have a fantastic day! Watch out for chills and spills out there!

Sunny Mornings & Misty Fog

You know that time in the morning, just before you wake up and open your eyes, you try to work out what sort of day it is going to be outside...Will the sun by out? Will there be a frost? Will it be too cold for me to even get out of bed! Ok so the last one might be wishful thinking on my part! But today it was so lovely to be greeted with blue skys and twinkling sunlight reflecting off the heavy dew, light frost on the grass in the paddocks below our house.

I went down town to go for my early morning sweat out at the gym and as I came up over the hill at the top of our farm...what a sight to behold...there was wispy misty fog on the lower paddocks and up on the horizon was the twinkling sparkling glint coming off Mt Ruapehu!

It is days like this that I love living out in the country, where you can see for miles and enjoy nature at its best in my humble opinion! I love being outside on days like this, the cool crisp air being inhaled into my lungs, making me realise that each day it is worth getting out of bed, even if it does take awhile because it is cold!

May you all enjoy whatever it is that makes you smile and want to get out of bed each morning!
