There are some people to whom making others feel special comes naturally, Edie Morgan and her merry band of Christmas carollers fall into that genre. Edie is the tireless and dedicated leader of the local “Mustard Seed” branch. Mustard Seed is a charitable organisation which was founded with the intention of keeping the Key Peninsula seniors safe and secure in their own homes. Sadly, Christmas spirit has been in short supply this year and as the “big day” draws closer it was becoming clearer that this year despite the twinkling lights on the Christmas tree and the heartfelt wishes on each Christmas card we open, our hearts and minds are distracted. Eadie and her merry band arrived in the late afternoon. Their beautiful voices and the sound of the banjo must have echoed across the valley as they gave us their rendition of the classical and eternal Christmas favourites. The wonderment of the Christmas spirit came with that little choir, their genuinely warm smiles and deep faith made us forget for the moment that all was not well with our world and those few moments reminded us how lucky we are to be living here, surrounded by beauty and surrounded by the love of our family, neighbors and friends. Thank you Edie and thank you Mustard Seed for bringing Christmas to our home.
Little Lamb Chop, our “wanna be” ram needed to be wormed. Lamb Chop is a very lucky wether ( ram without his “bits”) he will never be teamed up with mashed potato and mint sauce. This scruffy little guy was bottle fed after rejection by a totally inept mom and endeared himself to us over the following weeks as his attitude grew faster than his scrawny diminutive body. The task of worming Lamb Chop was assigned to WOOFER Ginger and she quickly discovered that administering the wormer was in fact easier than feeding candy to a baby. The scruffy wether has an “ever open” policy and would, if he could, sell his soul for a carrot… or even a portion of a carrot. People means attention and attention is, potentially, treat time. Ginger entered the pasture armed with the drench and, I’m sure, anxious that the lamb would put up some resistance to the medication. Ginger doesn’t know Lamb Chop !!! The lamb would have eaten the drench as well as its contents… and he looked for seconds. Hol-ley the quickly maturing little Dexter calf was not going to be left out where food appeared to be involved and she intently checked out and confirmed that the contents of the drench were gone before Ginger was allowed to leave the pasture.
Time I moved. The condition of my back since the surgery is causing concern, please keep us in your thoughts and prayers. Take care, keep safe, M
