The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 1148

Good morning everyone and welcome once more to Ballinwillin House Farm, gardens and RetrEat centre. It is a very busy time on the farm getting the paddocks ready to receive all the animals.  All must be planned, checked for fencing, water etc and then the next movement in approx two weeks as we move all stock into new and fresh pasture. It is a lovely time of year and May is usually very good weather wise. It is wonderful to see the animals bounding around with happiness and glee in their natural surroundings. Then we have all types of birds singing in an almost deafening chorus, the leaves bursting forth in the trees and in the garden, the camellias, rhododendrons and magnolias are dreaming of colour. In nature the farmer always plans for generations to come. Nature really is the great artist of longing and everything that we see and enjoy in this world comes from her mind and imagination and here we are all children of her. Earth's dreaming all we need do is to go outside and inhale her goodness. Continue to pray, bless, power healing, peace and hope to all who need it and wear your Monday smile.
