Time in Pioneertown - where did it go?

So I found a book-marked blog site, and it was MINE! I had to laugh :) And then I saw that my first and last entry was a year ago.. Glad I'm not on Twitter - I'd be invisible. Not that I am so visible here either. So what did I write last year - I can probably just copy and paste? Nobody has died, some have been born.. no humans, but my heritage turkey breeding is slowly starting up. This thrills me to no end! I'm still (again) busy weeding. It comes with the territory.

We live in a place where a lot of people are older than we are, unlike when we lived in Malibu. I'm not excessively old, but people, friends and neighbors, have started dying. It doesn't feel right at all. I don't want to be in the older generation already. It was bad enough to lose my parents just a few years ago, and I became the elder in the family. On the up-side, I have two grand-children, and on the down-side - they live in Sweden.

Suppose it does not matter much how much we talk about aging. We have no real saying in the matter anyway.

My hiking partner got lost in other activities, so I need some kind of resolve so I can stay in shape. Sure, I ride my horses and I practice yoga, but it's not enough. I have tried the "get up and walk in the morning" thing, but not only do my animals object to me disappearing for an hour, I'm just not that sort of a person. I like impulsive living. And my morning coffee!

OK, let's quit while I'm ahead, and I'll see myself next year :)

First entry.. many more to come?

I have tried blogs several times, and they end up being sort of boring. I'm one of those nature romantics who don't even own a TV to know what war is going on.. I love poetry, but mine isn't all that good. And whenever I feel the "need" to write something, I get impatient because I know I should go outside and work, or it's hot in my little office, and the flies are landing on me, or it's too cold ;) Also, how many times can people (or I, for that matter) want to read about a life that only changes slightly with the seasons? But anyway, it's a hot but beautiful day at the ranch, and I will now go outside to weed the veggie garden. And the next day. And the next ;) Now aren't you glad you got to here? OK, breaking news: I put seven most likely UN-fertile eggs in an incubator, and after three weeks one hatched. I have a black baby chick. Splendid. But I knew it :D I do have a bunch of turkeys growing, though.
