Farmhouse Friday Week 17 - A New Toy

 Happy Friday.  Here is what has been going on this week at my farmhouse.

Here is my new toy.  I not only will use it to move things from one building to another, but garden to compost or greenhouse.  We had one but, it has seen better days.  It's like the "Cadillac" of wagons.  

My baby garlic is popping up.  I planted on Halloween on suggestion of my 102 year old client who passed last fall.  Her daugher and her did that and she said "it just seems fitting to plant garlic on Halloween."

My chickens are laying up a storm.  That is good because I eat a lot of eggs.  I have enough roosters so that soon, I will start to let them set and hatch out some chicks.  

This photo is my goal....what a pristine little garden.  My problem is, well one of them...teehee...is I dream too big.  Last year's garden just about killed me trying to keep up and I had to let some of it go in the end.  Less is best...less is best....less is best.  

I also wanted to share a quote I came up with due to an icky text message I had with a loved one.  It has bothered me all week.  I was trying to help, but saying what I felt was the "truth" - doing this over text messages - things can get misinterpreted.  So, after much pondering I came up with this:  "how you preceive it, may not be how I wanted you to receive it."

Often times, our past experiences, how we were raised, past trauma that influenced our parent's rearing, how we are feeling at that moment, even our stage of life, these all influence how we preceive things.  I know first hand because I'm working on not assuming and being offended.  Working on yourself isn't for the weak, doing hard things is HARD. 

Less is best....less is best....
