I'm alone on the farm this week.
That sounds ridiculous to say, considering that I am in the company of four dogs, four goats, three rabbits, five ducks, innumerable chickens and one crabby cat. But I am the only biped. The only one here with thumbs. I was a bit worried that I wouldn't be able to handle things. I was afraid that something would go wrong and I wouldn't be able to fix it, but so far that hasn't occurred. I imagine that given enough time, something eventually would go wrong, but fears about being by myself for just a week seem now to have been overblown. I have made it halfway through the week without any need for a tool, a bullet or a phone call, and that feels like a small triumph to me.
P.S. Sorry for the lack of pictures lately. It's literally too hot to stand outside for any non-essential reason, and frankly there's nothing inside worth taking photos of.
P.P.S. Rabbits really hate it when you soak them with the hose.

Good for you, Tara. :>) If I were in your position, I think I'd be inviting a friend to stay for the week to keep me company. I must be a bit of a scaredy cat.
ReplyDeleteKeep cool. Maybe you have time to practice the fiddle while it's quiet.
