when the sun comes out the contrast between the black skies and the green grass is owe inspiring in its beauty, and makes it all worthwhile to bear.
still, no end in sight 😒
meditation is how I choose to start the day, setting the intention to give gratitude.
gratitude for having passed the storm with little to no damage, for a good nights sleep, for all I have, for being alive another day.
outside my window, a mare few meters behind me Robins, Goldfinches and Tits chirp while cleansing the oak tree from parasites.
their sounds softly blends into my breathing until the aggressive Bluejays come along to rob the cats food from her bowl.
I get up and store the food and then resume.
The world this morning is a flat, 2D cheap, shadeless replica of its marvelous self.
but it isn´t raining constantly and I take full advantage and sharpen the scythe.
I work at the parts where the grass has grown most and without my methodical system, but rather a more punctual approach. just where it is most needed.
then it rains and I head back to basecamp.
by the time I reach it, the rain stops.
so turning around I go back and continue where I left off.
I feel satisfied for being able to get some so badly needed work done outdoors.
🌧️🌧️🌧️🌧️🌧️
here are some fun stats I like to calculate when it rains.
as I do not measure precipitation myself, I use the numbers from the forecast.
so for example, Mr. weatherman has predicted 7.7mm of rainfall for today.
every 1mm of rainfall over an area of 1 square meter is equal to 1 liter of water.
for that matter, the size of our farm is 2.2 Hectares (or 22000 square meters)
so we take the prediction and multiply it by the total area of the farm.
7.7 x 22000 = 169400 Liters of water falling on the farm today !
the results are always hugely sounding..!
this is such a good charge for our aquifers ❤️
to be continued... !
thank you for stopping by 🙏
wishing us all a peaceful (and dry) Sunday.
