Waiting

We have been here exactly a year now. For those who saw the land when we first moved, it is agreed that the amount of work put into it is admirable. (Especially for doing this in our spare time). Sometimes we pause and look back at what it looked like at this time of year last year and recall the projects, hard work and emotions put into it. Of course, there is still much to be done, and since it's all part of a bigger vision, some things seem as if they don't happen fast enough. There is a certain science to the waiting involved with growing things, including patience as well as foresight - one thing can't happen until another is completed. There is still a certain amount of experimenting as well; so I have also learned that it is possible to wait and wait and then see nothing happen. The latest experiment in which this could be the case is the incubator of eggs sitting in our living room. The anticipation of waiting 21 days is exciting, yet dimmed by the possibility of none of them working. Still, we check on them every day...if nothing else, we can say we once had chicks trying to hatch in our living room!
