The routine of it all

Winter, spring, summer, fall, repeat. The days and months and years go by and much remains the same. I do the same tasks, perhaps mastering them better as the years pass. When I set out to write as many daily posts as I could, I didn’t realize that my life is somewhat mundane, and there isn’t always something writeworthy to say. I will check the greenhouse this morning to see if the backup heater kept the temperature moderate, then I will greet my animals… Pumpkin, and Blackie, and Creampuff, and Penelope, and Pete, and the loud honkers while giving them their morning meal. Jack is doing some early maintenance on Clementine, my 2006 Honda, to secure my comings and goings to the yard of an established customer. I didn’t get the chance to read the news this morning as I spent my time researching garden edging for a customer who needs hers replaced. The sun is out and it’s a warmer start than yesterday, which is optimistic. In addition to raking and fertilizeing, my plan is to prune a large Rose of Sharon before it leafs out…(I saw red yesterday on the towering maple branches …the leaves are coming!). When I lay in bed last night, I was grateful for my peaceful life, in a world where that is a luxury to some…I say a prayer for peace, that peace would be threaded through the daily routine of us all.
