Teresa & Mike CHS - Our journal

When I introduced Merlin to the boys he sniffed butts and the poop pile. I think it is the dog's way of associating "this is mine" and links them to the smells the animals leave elsewhere on the property.

I'm sorry to hear about your aunt. Hard for all the family including her favorite nephew . At least she will be in hospice instead of a hospital bed.

I pray for you to have a safe trip and return home to your wife and farm. I pray for your aunt and her family.

Our prayers can be added to the list, too. Sure hope the travel is safe and weather is pleasent. It is really Good to hear about Maisy.....

Not much on praying, but I'm glad you'll have a last visit before your aunt leaves the world of the living. I hope her final time is peaceful and pain free. Have a safe trip.

Will be praying for your aunt and her family and for your trip. Be safe.

I have rocks too. Lots of them. And when I lived in the city I used to buy there river rocks, now I would pay to have them taken away. Silly the way that works.

My garden just got planted last week. I still need to plant some corn and cucumbers but will do that after I get back from a weekend trip to my sister's. We are having an estate sale of all my mom's stuff so a bitter sweet visit. I am hoping that the stupid mice and slugs, etc. leave my bean seedlings alone. I am going to buy some slug bait tomorrow, the non toxic kind just in case anything gets to it that shouldn't. I even have slugs in my strawberries that are planted in watering troughs.

I got back about 6:30 this morning to find that not surprisingly Teresa had taken care of everything that she normally does plus picked up on my chores. There is an amazingly large number of round bales in the pasture as the neighbor elected to cut them instead of square bales. I can't fault that logic since labor was not available to help. At least is is cut and I can do my spring spraying now. She had continued to work with Maisy in all 3 pens with the chickens and lambs and we are about ready to put the lambs in with the main flock.

My Aunt Fay passed yesterday afternoon at 3:00. She was fully aware of all of her family that was there and showed zero signs of stress or anxiety. She was prepared for this day and went knowing fully that her life was lived like the matriarch that she was. She left her mark and her children will continue to do so thanks to her.

I only made it to about midnight and felt myself fighting to stay awake so pulled into an Econo Lodge outside of Ft Benning Georgia and grabbed an hour nap.

 

[Hens and Roos]

our condolences to your family

Glad you got to see her and glad that she passed knowing that she was surrounded by family.
