Summer time and the living is easy
Zara likes to take things easy and likes to take advantage of the warm weather for a little sunbathing when she can ...
then it's time for a look around and contemplate whether it's worth getting up or not ...
have a bit of a yawn ...
and stretch a leg before the next strenuous exercise of eating !

Meanwhile Tilly is finding more ways to self-isolate
Mr Cockerel always likes to make himself heard
and believes that Zara is willing to share her feed
with the flock

When everything is dominated with lockdown and coronavirus I am aware that I am very blessed to be able to step outside and immerse myself in the coconut-scent of gorse
sit amongst bluebells
go into the polytunnel to count the growing blueberries
watch the asparagus grow
think of strawberry teas
smell pots of golden marjoram
pick nasturtium leaves and flowers for a colourful salad
and go into the greenhouse house to count the peaches
on the spreading peach tree
mmm, not so long to go

Poem of the month
Not I Alone
Do I have the key to set the animals free ?
Will my tears help the crops to grow ?
Will my smile bring peace and softness to the world ?
Will my hands heal the unwell ?
Will my arms comfort all the children ?
Will my heart fill the earth with love ?
Will my eyes see only beauty ?
Will my ears hear only the sound of creation ?
Will I breathe out when nature is breathing in ?
Will my feet lead the journey of just being ?
No, not I alone.
But with you, we can, we will.
Let's do.
June

Quote of the month
It's very important that we re-learn the art of resting and relaxation. Not only does it help prevent the onset of many illnesses that develop through chronic tension and worrying; it allows us to clear our minds, focus and find creative solutions to problems".
