Oh dear, it's going to be a tough few weeks !!!!....and I don't mean the surgery ! I REALLY struggle doing nothing....I can't cope with seeing something that needs doing and not being able to do it. I'm not good at telling people what to do and even worse at being told what to do ....it's REALLY going to be tough. Greg is in "taking care" of me mode...I swear that man of mine has eyes on stalks, he can see round corners and I think he can even see through walls ! I'm starting to think that he's reading my mind...all I have to do is think about being able to do a chore and from somewhere in the depths of the barn there's a "NO !!!". I've never thought of myself as stubborn ( ok, maybe a little...a long time ago,..I'd better come clean, I know my family will be reading that with a few smug smiles !!) and I know I'm not normally petulant sulky or sneaky but I have a bad feeling that being a patient is going to bring out all of the above. I've had a strong stiff talk to myself and I've promised myself I'm going to be good but Lord, it's going to be hard !
The troops have answered the call, volunteers, willing (and some maybe not so willing have rallied to help Greg run the ranch while I am out of service being "fixed". Our farm friends have been amazing and Greg is confident that all will run smoothly without me, Danielle and Alissia wont escape, Molly will meekly enter her milking stand, Rodney the Ram and his ladies will always head in the right direction on the way to their pasture without taking a tour of the ranch first, Hassan wont have another terrorist tizzy and Dolly the mutant cow will be a good girl . it sounds like I wont be missed at all ! DOH !!!
Gertie the goose IS BACK !!! ( see forsaken love web page). Yesterday Greg took Lady and Quest the Shires out to their pasture and from the distance came the joyful honking we became familiar with last year. There she was, her flight path took her right to the pasture, her landing gear came down between the horses and she went right back to grazing between her equine pals. Greg will add a few photos of them all,...hopefully.
...maybe...in his spare time !
This will be my last diary entry for a little while, Greg is going to be stand in editor. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers, Mum, hang on to your angel and I'll be back asap. Take care, keep safe and warm. M
