ok, so i missed day two of blogging. at least i am on day three.
upon opening the barn door this frosty morning to go feed all the critters, a cute black pony face was on the other side waiting for me. somehow muffy got herself unclipped and had been roaming the barn. the calves were not very thrilled with the marauding pony attempting to get to their hay. the goats and cow just thought it amusing. i put her back where she belongs and fixed the problem. muffy will have to knock the barn down now if she wants to get loose.
yesterday was the last day of photo class. i knew i would get teary-eyed, but it was not over what i expected. donna photographed her dad's recovery after surgery. the photographs were beautiful. they made me remember my grandma, who passed away shortly after last christmas. she had fallen and broken her hip the winter before last. after each surgery, there was a little less of the person i knew and loved there. as opposed to donna's dad who is getting better, she just got progressively worse, until she died. looking at my first christmas without her, i am sad.
regardless of how i feel, our goats will have their babies, the cow will have her calf, and the grass will start growing again this spring. life doesn't stop for the pain to subside, it keeps going so it will dim with time.
