An Easter Basket of Yarn!

Spring is awakening around Wheely Wooly Farm!  Spring birds are arriving, the grass is perking up (something that makes any shepherd perk up!!), and the sheep start getting a little silly.  Everyone is happy that the toughness and dark days of winter are fading away.

With all the distressing news and terrible headlines here in America, and around the world, it's hard to believe that when you walk out the door, that door shuts behind you and you enter a world that seemingly doesn't know a thing about the Coronavirus.  The birds sing over and over.  The sheep leap.  The perennials are peeping up out of brown earth.  The wind is warm...er.  As I walk about the farm, an eerie feeling hangs over my mind.  Do the sheep sense my distressed thoughts?  The dogs want to sit closer.  The sheep hang out longer for chin scratches.  The horses follow me around right behind me, as if to ask..."What's wrong?  Everything ok?".  When I stop, my pony bumps into me (he's 33, doesn't see real good anymore!).  He's there, tenderly asking to be petted, telling me to shed my thoughts while I help him shed his winter coat.

Part of this virus is knowing that the best gift of all is an ordinary day.  While some must work to confront the virus, some must stay back to keep the virus at bay.  Create an ordinary day for yourselves.  Do things you would ordinarily do on a day off at home.  Rest, connect, knit or crochet.  Ordinary is a gift.
