My corner of the World

 Hello from Kellie and Herbs & Things 

 

If nothing ever changed, there'd be

no butterflies.

~MY VIEW FROM THE VALLEY~
 

Ahh what a nice feeling, walking out to the barn, especially in the morning, with no snow or ice on the stairs, sidewalk or driveway!

I can't believe the Killdeers have been back about a week already. Way earlier than usual. Nice to hear though. All the birdie songs are nice to hear. It's funny the birds were kind of quiet this winter, more so than usual, but they are back early and singing up a great song of Spring. 

It seems as we get closer to opening up, moving on from the lock-down, living a 'normal' life again, that things are getting crazier in our world by the minute.
Lucky for me, I've always lived on this corner, and often refer to it as my little corner of world where peace and sanity reside.
As a child and then as an adult, I had plenty to do, places to go and people to meet and see, It didn't  bother me to not keep up 24/7 on the goings on beyond my sacred little place; only accessing the news when and if there was something really important to know.
This living a simple life, even when I worked outside the home, has worked well for me, only gathering  enough outside info to keep me well informed and not in the dark.
Then came the last year or 2 where all kinds of things were going on. For reasons I don't understand, even I was pull out of my own little world and in to the  world winds beyond my sacred placed.  I found I was almost frantic in I HAD to know what was going on, through outside sources, instead of my own 'inside' sources that have always served me well, or so my mind was telling me. 
However my body, senses and soul were telling me other wise and thankfully, I  think my body, senses and soul have won. 
Because even after a year of  lock-downs, being away from people, things getting crazy and out of control, I find it interesting, that my senses are wanting to again to just stay in my own little corner of world, with no interest to venture out to far beyond to see or hear all the hysteria and weird things going on out there.
I just want to spend time in my gardens, get another horse, a couple cows, spend healthy time in the barn with the animals, manure, hay and serenity.
I want to Spend time in Nature, walking, hiking, riding my bike, in my home; making it better and spend time with those that like me, want to do the same; those who like their own corner of the world and enjoy coming to mine and living simply, digging in the soil, shoveling manure, picking up stones, walking in the creeks, spending time with Mother Nature, family, Creator, talking to the birds, smelling the flowers, picking the fruits of my garden labor, a place where the angst, anger, greed and stuff from the outside world is not allowed... unless it is a need to know thing that would make life better or safer.
To much of the outside world of late,  brings in strife, angst, bitterness, and anger, and the sad truth of it, is so many are frightfully out of touch with what's important and frankly how the real world really works.
The bright side of looking out from my corner, is there are  those like you and me, that in our own way, can bring many back to what's important; simply by us doing and setting examples. Our keep on keeping on,  will work like a ripple on pond waters, where the energy will extend out and reach  many and show what it's like outside of the center of confusion, busyness, control, and wanting it all.
So the next time you try to get a hold of me, you'll know where to find me, in my office(s), which could be in the garden, or in the barn shoveling manure. You might find me out picking flowers, smelling the honeysuckle, walking,  loving the fruits and flowers in the gardens, the moon in the night sky, the sun shine on my face. You know... out in the real down to earth world that has every thing we've ever needed.
