The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 358

Good morning everyone and welcome once more to Ballinwillin House Farm, gardens and RetrEat centre on day 68 of our latest lock down. It is another beautiful and sunny morning here at Ballinwillin House and this beautiful morning sun is with us to celebrate a great day - International Women's Day and speaking from a male perspective we all owe a great gratitude to our mothers. There was a heading in this week's Farmers Journal "there would be no farming without women" and this is true. The women on the farm were always the back bone of the farm. In life our mothers voice was the first home sound we listened to before we could see. Her nearness always filled the air, always nurturing and fostering. We are all formed from the depths beneath a woman's heart. They know us inside out - we could not grow anywhere else and her presence was always a sheltering tree where our tender hearts could rest. So for today think of all the women out there who have helped us and shaped our lives and say a little prayer for them. Continue to pray, bless and power healing to all who need it and wear a smile for all women.
