winter is winding down finally here on my 6 acre postage stamp on the new york/vermont border.. even for this area, this winter has been long.. we still have a foot of snow on the ground on the shady dips of land that the sun cannot reach yet, tho each day, the sun tracts higher in the sky.. rising earlier, lingering longer..
i yearn to be outside.. i began some spring clean up outside a few days ago, only for my body to betray me in the form of a dislocated or cracked rib.. it really doesn't matter the correct term, as anyone who has ever hurt a rib, it might as well be broken, because they all hurt like a MF.. and they all require the same healing advice.. rest.. so i have been rendered useless.. okay, not useless, but certainly not productive like i normally am.. living the way i do, there isn't time for convalescing.. there are seeds to sow, food to gather, canning, fermenting, preserving..
i guess the Universe is trying to tell me something.. perhaps i need to slow down? self-care?
