Susie, I don't think anyone else does photos and words as well as you.
The "oh, today" over the hills and the plight of the calf and then the portrait of your son. (Belated happy birthday!)
It's just all magical.
But I agree. Time needs to slow down. We're already careening through January and I lament that my holiday will soon be over and I'll be staring down semester and all the chaos that it will bring.
For now, though, I cling to the now and remain rooted in the present, refusing to peer too far into the future.
I wish you a beautiful and wonderful year ahead, and hope that spring arrives earlier than it did last year and that nature and wildlife flourishes throughout your hills.
Nathan, Thank you, those are incredibly generous and kind words, I am deeply and blushingly complimented.
That half mud half calf is doing just fine and so far Ive found no more, the farmer has taken all likely casualties from the field! I could hear the swearing from here!
I feel all the lament you do at the end of long holidays Nathan, it's never easy to step back into teaching mode after the bliss of so many free days... I have just finished a two week Christmas break, two days in and I am counting days to the next! In complete opposition to wanting time to slow down, during term time I am quite content for it to fly!
I think to profit from the time we have in the here and now and cherish the moments that are loved is the only path to follow...
I wish you too, a truly wonderful New Year, that the days you love are numerous and healthy and filled with curiosities to inspire your words! 💛
"In complete opposition to wanting time to slow down, during term time I am quite content for it to fly!" amen to this, but equally I very much agree with "I think to profit from the time we have in the here and now and cherish the moments that are loved is the only path to follow..."
Let us be content to embrace every moment we have.
