Routine Changes

I've been enjoying my new morning routine changes. Taking time to write, read devotionals and ponder the day has proved to slow my thinking and redirect my focus. I am truly sitting more in a relaxed frame of mind. The rush to get on the computer feeling has just about left me. Staying caught up in any one area to the neglect of another is not good. Balance is needed in every area in order for the workings of life to run smoothly. When I do get on it, I actually read through and leave comments on several favorite blogs. Which I am sure will inspire me to keep up to date on my own blog entries on a more timely manner. Thanks for all the friends who take the time to comment on a post of mine and who inspire me with one of theirs.

Crocheting kid coats (baby goat, not human) has been great therapy for me as we wait for Anna to give birth. With her being WAY past "our" projected date is cause enough for me to "fret" a little. Working on them has kept my hands busy and my mind occupied somewhat. Besides creating cute sweaters for our future babies. After trying several suggested patterns, that didn't work out for me. I am using a simple dog sweater pattern, that is so simple that after making one, you can do multiples without looking at the directions. It is easily altered too. Making it a great option for any size goat, young or old. Plans are that we will try to complete the last kidding stall today. So if the girls decide to do a "group thing", we will be ready for them. There are several things still needed for my kidding kit. Researching the options to getting them may be good use of my computer time today. Starting out for the first time leaves us with needing everything! So finding the best prices and getting quickly to boot is a prudent thing to do. Should be able to purchase a few items at the TSC, tomorrow on my grocery and errand day.

I love the color, this left over yarn will make some spiffy coats for the babies.



I think I may look up the moon phases for this month. Just to see if it could have any bearing on their deliveries. So many farmers plant and harvest by the moon phases. I know my grandfather did when he was farming back in the 30's,40's, 50's and up to his death. There is lots of information to be had in the Farmer's Almanac for those interested.

Today is suppose to be a sunny, warm day - perfect weather for fueling Spring fever! That is if the heavy morning fog will ever lift. At least the foggy funk around my heart and mind is lifting with the routine changes taking place.
