Winter is simply
a tough season when you own a farm. When
temperatures drop below freezing the opportunity to get water to everybody and
everything becomes the challenge of each day!
When the weather
eventually turns warmer, the bugs return and the worse ones start out the
season first.
I remember when
we moved out to the county 15 years ago and being attacked by the dreaded “may
fly” in my driveway. I researched
everything from putting blue tape on buckets to mosquito zone.
…and eventually
the dragonflies emerged. Such wonderful
creatures with no agenda but to look cool fly awesome and consume bad
bugs!
The dragonfly is
the beginning of balance of life on the farm.
I can truly appreciate the sun, warm water, boat rides to Blue Pete’s
and sup’n on Back Bay since I endured the opposite during the winter months.
I consider this
one more lesson to learn about life. It
simply is not cake and ice cream all the time.
In order to enjoy the peaks of life you have to have spent some time in
the valleys. How can you enjoy true
happiness unless you have experienced sincere sadness?
I feel allowing
this balance to occur in your life without judgment leads to life’s true
wisdom!
Grow during your pain and suffering and
celebrate when the sun begins to shine again!
