Darkness Falls

Night time sure crashes early here in the back woods.

It’s warm -one would say “balmy” for this time of the year.

There is a gentle breeze blowing in from the west and I have just come in after doing “night check” on the boys.

It is only 8:21 EST and why do I feel like it is midnight?

Oh ya  – it’s because I have been going hard non stop since 4:30 this morning.

It is days/nights like these that I ask myself “what have I gotten myself into?”

What will I do when the snow starts to fall and it is minus 20? Write about it of course. Keep everyone up to to date of the comings and goings.

I so look forward until December 21st and the days start getting longer again – 2 minutes a day don’t ya know.

I’ll soldier on – try and stay awake and remember why…to achieve a dream of ours since 2001.

Is it still worth the early mornings and early evenings? – The hauling of hay and  feeding of grain? The worrying at work hoping the boys are ok? The non stop GO GO GO????

You bet your sweet ass it is!!!!

Have a great night!
