The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 112

Good morning everyone and welcome once more to Ballinwillin House Farm and gardens on day 112 of my daily diary and day 7 out of lockdown. All going well so far in our new life but business is very slow, but that is a good way to ease ourselves and our guests out of lockdown. I like the word “ease” anyway. It is nice to rest easy anyway and not to put pressure on friendships. Today being Sunday and a day of rest I like to walk easily through the farm and gardens and ponder on my life and that of my family. It also gives me time for reflection as I gaze on the hedgerows, the birds and animals and their behaviour. It also gives me time to philosophise and appreciate my environment and encourages me to continue to protect my environment for the generation of people and animals. What I always want in these gardens and farm is when people visit that the personality of our aesthetic environment at Ballinwillin House will leap out at them and they can sit apart and inhale the aroma of the surrounding environment, fresh and vibrant and at ease with nature. So for today, take a walk into nature, be at ease with nature and yourself and be mindful of the beauty that surrounds you and continue to pray, bless and send healing to each other and wear that smile.
