Farm a bit burnt...but still beautiful:)

It was a wonderful weekend in the mountains, lazy and chilled. We went to look at the damage done by the fire. Not too bad and it may even help a bit. Johannes got a bit over zealous and the fire he was tending jumped the dirt road and licked at our fields and some of the trees. We sat under the new roof of Chestnut Cottage and gazed out at the fields through the chestnut trees, the leaves lime green in the sunlight. How peaceful and serene. Not much to do but just sit and enjoy the Now. And breathe... The winter approaches and there is huge clearing to be done. My heart longs for a brushcutter. The horses are still two farms away, but the plan for the water trough is on the go. If I look at what needs to be done, it looks like a mountain, but if I see only the Now, I can smile and enjoy. To sleep...to dream of the beauty of nature.
