I just asked My Rebecca who is my spelling coach, “How do you spell genius?” And then we both immediately cracked up! Ah, cheap trills, are alive and well, thank God!
Well, what to chew on today here at the blog? I really enjoyed Indiana Janet showing up with that dream yesterday. Wasn’t that terrific? Personally, I really want to hear more stuff like that. Casting off the negativity is the new essential business for all of us and that was a righteous example!
We are having some terrific spring weather here. High pressure and not a rain cloud anywhere. We have been outside as much as possible working around the ranch. Wiley is off from his job so we have been working on projects. He is the tractor operator and I am the ground guy. He is so smooth with the equipment moves, making me feel like a piker.
OK, I ordered the corn and clover seed last night. Geez, I waited too long and varies were very picked over and not everything was available in the appropriate amounts. Don’t remember if it is like that every year at this time or is there a run on seed because folks are planting more home gardens? Good question.
Anyway my standard corn succession method of the varieties: Sugar Buns, Bodacious and Golden Jubilee has been replaced with Sugar Buns and “Big n Tender”. Just two varieties, early and later instead of three. Well, that is what I am putting my money on this season. There is talk of putting up the roadside stand this year which we haven’t had up the last two years. That will be fun if we can share the burden.
Hey, whac-a-mole the fear and avoid the distractions or the pigs will get you and stay present! And most importantly, G-E-N-I-U-S!!!
A Tuesday in Holy Week loves, Felipé.
¡Hola peregrinos!
Great reflection this morning from Dynamic Catholic and Matthew Kelly…tying in with the themes out of Ravens Ranch today.
Traveling thru life, are we tourists or pilgrims? Are we just looking for souvenirs, attractive things and distractions? Saint James taught us The Way by taking Our Lord’s command all the way to “the ends of the earth”…looking for, listening to and waiting for God.
We peregrinos need to remember to continue to live, especially these days, expecting nothing but experiencing everything profoundly …knowing we are exactly where God wants us to be right now.
Throughout this life journey…Going back to help someone carry their burden by all means and thru prayer…is far greater than getting over with the stage on the map.
Maybe God put the world in this “time out” stage for all of us to take a breath and stop touring with our lives.
Good call on your seed selection. Hope it piles high on the roadside stand!
Avoiding distractions…
Diego
Our Man Diego from Lake Arrowhead, both always pointing the way. Thank you bro. I may have to put this wisdom of yours up on the blog today. I am temporarily lost for words with all the happenings swirling around me. Have you read Pilgrim’s Progress? These days remind me of one of the traps or challenges there. Wasn’t there a quagmire, I think so? Anyway love you man! Felipé.
Ok, I just seriously loved the “whack a mole “ reference. Most likely because it’s extremely visual. I got together with my daughter today. We didn’t hug or kiss each other which is the extreme of odd. I don’t want to give her anything or carry anything to my patients. No more groceries until I’m out of everything. Last bottle of wine opened. Have one bubbly that’s saved to celebrate this ALL being over.
Do have any magic for remembering dreams? I know my brain goes there but by morning I’ve no clue where it went.
Love you Phil ❣️
Raising a glass to you, the Camino and corn 🌽
Bonnie ~ thank you for what you do as always. Nurses so rule! Yes, crazy days are upon us but our sky is blue today and it beckons me to be out. We are working around the ranch doing things that need to be done this time of year. The seasons and the weather rule me in my farmer role. Hope that you are staying safe there. Everyone misses you at the Institute. I’m there for a cameo appearance every three weeks now so I see less of everyone. Keep in touch, Felipé.x
