The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 62

Good morning everyone and welcome once again to Ballinwillin House Farm and gardens. Another beautiful day on the farm again. I was out in the fields earlier and we have about 20 baby red deer calves now. They are in full birth time now. It is this time of year I always diary the first calf, the first rose of summer, the first hay cut and so on. It is my nature diary really and my connection with Mother Nature and Mother Earth which runs very deep within my heart and soul and when I wish you good morning and a welcome to Ballinwillin House Farm, it is with a sincerity and meaning that I say so. It is important to notice what is going on around us and it gives us a clear message, when we are not noticing what is around us we are blind to nature. It has no magic for us, we are not fully alive, we are not fully living and very quickly cynicism can replace our sense of surprise. So from today onwards give ear to nature, give eye to nature – it will fill your heart and soul with wonder and excitement. Continue to pray, bless and heal each other and be careful not to lapse into complacency until we win this war against Corona Virus Covid 19.

God bless you all and have a mindful, beautiful day.
