Mother is going home tomorrow.. tonight she was dressed and walked with the aid of a stick to the gardens where she smoked four cigarettes .. sat next to dad who smoked two.
This couple have been married for 51 years. They have their way of living together, existing, rubbing-along. She bit his head off as he buckled up her slippers. I don’t know how long either of their blood pressure will maintain normal status once she is back home.
But one thing I do know is that I have my own family to look after. Man of the Woods had not moaned once that my farming-wife duties have been neglected. Luckily we live 500 yards from his parents and his mother adores cooking and feeding everyone. She is a proper farmer’s wife!
Man of the Woods prefers company, even if it means grabbed ready-made meals.
Ever seen inside the collection tank of a John Deere combine?!
It’s a pretty impressive machine..
I’ll do half hour on my clients’ rugs then I will fall onto the bed I think … ๐คฃ
Try and stay cool this week – stay out of the midday sun!
I think you will fall on that bed too…….Iโm tired only watching and reading .
I find farm life so fascinating.โค๏ธ

It can be a very isolating existence, even if beautiful.
Sharing some of it through social media makes me feel good. Allows some folks who would otherwise only see snippets from the side of the road .. but also regular viewers can start to see the patterns of the year ๐ซ
So glad you liked it

Youโre so right … this is surely not the UK?! (Are you IN the UK? Did I ever ask you before?! ๐)
Iโm presently sipping tea under a tree in the scorched garden, thereโs a breeze, and thereโs a mouse in the leaves somewhere. There was also a slice of soft brown nutty bread spread with diabetes-safe marmalade (I wanted to try it before giving it to mother and her saying itโs yuck. Itโs not yuck, I assure you!) ๐

I would fit in quite nicely in the UK , with the quantity of tea and biscuits I consume.
BUT no I’m in Seattle in a physics lab sitting in my desk reading a reaserch paper about something called Gluon amplitudes.
I look forwards to my kimchi lunch , not looking forwards to leaving the lab when it’s 32.2 c out side and biking back home .
SOFT NUTTY BREAD SPREAD SOUNDS AMAZING!

Ah .. yes .. those naughty gluons. Careful of those … they get in your shoes when youโre not looking!!
Seattle – you HAVE mentioned this fact. Itโs my brain frazzling which forgets things. ๐ค

Heaven forbid, a Gluon latches on to you , you wouldn’t be able to shake him off you. .. so make sure to check your shoes for gluons and throw a pinch of salt over your shoulders before leaving the house to ward them off! ๐๐๐

Well, my sister graduated from college and she bought a puppy. (She’s wanted a puppy for at least 8 years) to my disdain The Rascals been peeing on the carpet and stealing my shoes. I feel like I’m the only one being scrupulous with this puppers while everyone else seems the baby over him not scolding his Shenanigans enough. if he can sit shake and lay down he’s old enough to be potty trained! This puppy will be staying with me as long as my sister is staying with me which is probably more than a year since I told her her the best option would be staying with me in the house while she works to solely clear off her debt. This summer has attracted a wide range of visiting Scholars that are visiting the lab and I have this romantic idea in my head of an Eclectic group of Scholars working towards truth and beauty or something. It’s been intresting just to walk into the coffee room and overhear a conversation between a biologist and a computer scientist where they begin by describing their separate fields of research and diverge into one area that overlaps both of their studies.
