Very soon, by October, all the babies will have been born. All that will Stay, will be waiting. Daily, out there for me. All that will go, will be gone. So, i am thinking. Things are easy for me when it's Hot. Cold, not so much and really cold, NOT. What i begin now will carry through those cold months. There will be ice to break on their water bowls. Wood to split and bring in. A house that heats slowly in the morning.
So, this morning, i am entertaining thoughts about how i might do it all. And i made myself a little scenario of how a day might go to mull over as i go through these Beauty days of Summer Going.
Wake. put coffee water on to boil. Start fire in wood stove. ???Sitting meditation now??? Look at cloth to seed the mind for the day. Out to break ice, fill bowls, feed. Maybe milk now, but being realistic about my limitations, i might go back in for a while till maybe 8 or even 9 oclock. Prepare food for the day, if so, milk after that. There will be 7, maybe 8 does to milk. Ona, Onday, Lucky Star, Ginger, Grace, Barbara, Caroline and maybe Arctica if i can tame her enough by then. ???Sitting Meditation now, instead????? So, This finished between 10 and 11.
The milk can be frozen. The routine for cheese making is completely unknown now. It will depend on how much milk is given. But it won't happen every day. I can't know anything about this until it all begins. So, it's penciled in.
And now the house is warmed. CLOTH from say 11 til 2 or 3
And then 3 till dusk, back out to feed for the evening, care for living spaces and Love, Touch, Talk.
The Cloth and Goat Love will of course vary, depending on the weather.
So. I sit looking at this Possible Plan and thought to go look at Picasa to see what i'd been looking at last year.
