Well, I'd love to have every one of you here! You would be most welcome.

Once again, I am feeling so very lucky to have my farm tonight. I got back here around 10:30 after my evening with my mom, and then I walked all over my fields. I sat on a rise where a deer had bedded down recently and enjoyed the warm breeze, I was practically intoxicated by the smell of sweetgrass in the fields,and mesmerized by thousands of fireflies. Just for an extra little gift, I saw a beautiful little skunk (within about 10 feet of me!) as I strolled my mowed paths. He headed back into the understory when he saw me.

After my walkabout I came back to my yard and lay down on my outdoor glider and enjoyed the peaceful evening and some bonding time with one of my cat friends. He decided he wanted to sleep on my chest for the first time. Mind you, this guy was too skittish to even let me near him for over a year! Such a lovely creature. I'm still outside now and it's almost midnight. It's too nice to be indoors.

It's been a good day overall. I had a really good session with my therapist, and he sent me home with yet more reading. i told him about my dream and he smiled and said one certainly didn't need to be Freud to be able to interpret that one!

I went hiking afterward, which was wonderful, though it was warm to be hiking in jeans, then I spent the whole evening with my mom, who is sweet and funny, before coming back here to my farm.

Feeling very grateful. Time for my evening commute to my sleeping quarters. I wish everyone a good sleep and gentle dreams.
