The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 48

Good morning everyone and welcome once again to Ballinwillin House Farm. Another glorious morning here and my orchestra of bird song is serenading me as usual. Today I would like to talk to you about the month of May. My Mam always loved May. She used to say that May brings great joy. She also used to say “now that the freshness of spring is slowly giving way to the beauty of early summer at Ballinwillin House Farm.” A new beauty appears almost daily filling everywhere with colour, flowers open, leaves unfurl and all the trees begin to put on their “summer clothes”. Each day brings something new, the farms and the gardens are busy with the surge of all types of growth. What we have to be careful of is that we are not too busy in the garden or the farm and to enjoy natures beauty and abundance. Take time out to sit, stare, meditate for a while. Enjoy the beauty and hear the murmur of Mother Natures heart. It is also important in this month to tune in to the beauty of our own lives and to discover the joy there is in loving and grateful hearts. The wonder of the month of May will never be lacking in this world of ours. What may be lacking is wonderment!

Continue to pray for the end of this virus. Continue to observe all the rules. Continue to bless and heal each other and keep your heart smiling.

Have a lovely May Day
