Our driveway is shared with three houses. Once, this property was an old dairy on about 35 acres. About 15 years ago two 5 acre blocks were created at the back of the land. We've been lucky enough to move onto one of them.
I really love our driveway (as referenced before here). I love how it meanders and takes it's time getting us home. I love how it's dirt and bumpy and full of potholes, unevenness, rocks and sticks. It forces us to SLOW DOWN before we even get home. Take a breath before the onset of home jobs overtakes us.
We live next to a working dairy. The beginning of our driveway is often a home to calves from this dairy. The children think this is just the best thing. Often they ask to be let out of the car so they can go up and pat the calves and let them suck their fingers (sounds yuck to me, but I keep this to myself). Lucky the creek is a few steps away. Which means, the cow slobber requires a quick visit in order to rinse off slobbery fingers. It's always so cold and skin feels so soft after going in. Magic.
On another note...
I did it!!! 7 days!!! I'm beginning to taste the beginnings of a new momentum.
So, I'm going to try .... the 7 day pledge (part 2).
Also known as Days 8 - 14 (but that sounds like too much of a commitment and starts making my palms sweat). No. I can just taste failure in this... back to plan A...
Tomorrow will begin "THE 7 DAY PLEDGE (part 2)".
Very exciting...
Wishing you a peaceful Sunday...
