| An early dusting of snow… |
So, back at it briefly while packing, organizing and generally turning the farmhouse up on it’s head…It’s already a plus to work one’s way through 12 years of accumulated detritus and streamline…even if staying put…You should try it sometime…. The place has never felt so freshened up…So, already an unanticipated bonus… How many more await…? We shall see…Got a funny note from a friend in Auckland, New Zealand who noted my first blog mentioning that we fancy ourselves to be amateur naturalists.. ” Francis, you need to be aware that down here we consider naturalists to be people who prefer to go around without any clothes on…” Uhmmm…whoops…As I said in reply, “In the States we prefer the more specific term…nudists…” So much for cultural competency….haha! My first big gaffe and we haven’t even left home…. I wonder how many more await….? We shall see…Stay tuned, should be interesting…Also, please don’t expect any nekked trekking or surfing shots…I plan on keeping at least my Speedo, and dignity, intact…(very scary image there…). Unlike this guy……
It’s now less than two weeks before lift off..Starting to awaken in midnight and feel that shock of reality settling in…keeps one up and the mind races…but always seems no problem once the sun is up and the day begins…Sort of the final big breath before the 30 ft plunge into the waiting pool below…steady…steady…
Well for now, Merry Christmas and peace on Earth to all from Fairview Farm…ddu
