The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 163

Good morning everyone and welcome once more to Ballinwillin House Farm and gardens on day 58 out of lock down. Work yesterday we were concentrating on the gardens and we will continue here for the rest of this week. It was bitter sweet work. On one hand you see the destruction and on the other you see the remaining beauty and some plants saying at us “we escaped” and “we are here” and “cheer up”. There is no doubt that the earth and  Mother Nature has its own voice and its own way of expressing its unhappiness with our behaviour but by listening to her, the birds, the animals and us all can find our own way home even from far distant places. Nothing hurts more than being ignored and I believe Mother Nature feels that way now and she is expressing her unhappiness in a stormy manner. There are more storms on the way today and for today let us pray for a better relationship between us all and Mother Nature, Mother Earth and continue to send blessings and healings to each other and wear that smile.
