- clearing space in front of the door of the feed shed at Jack Flash's Place in preparation for the bales of grass hay coming tomorrow. Knowing it would be work. The deluge of Rain this last week upon all that has been coming steady for so long, how i've fed all Goats hay down there frequently and so a build up of scrap hay and manure becoming sludge. Soggy. so hoe it up and then rake, uphill and far enough to the side at the top. Work. and i took the Intention of the week two of the Meditation Challenge….the Body….Breath and the body but it was un necessary because as soon as i began there was the just incredible FRAGRANCE of decomposing, becoming EARTH…..just absolutely Wonder Full, the SMELL as the SUN poured down I'll load it on the small sled and take it to B Garden to finish off that new space i'd begun…for planting in the next month or so. The beauty of Goat manure….it has no smell of it's own, unlike horse or cow, does not need aging before use….and it's already happening i think this is Real Happiness.

Yes! This work is a gift. It is a joy. The aroma of the soil is intoxicating. It fills the heart, the body. It makes me want to dissolve into the earth with the soft rain that sinks in.

earth … and Parker asked last night how the planets got their names, so I looked up each one in turn, the Roman gods … so “what god is Earth named for?” she asked … which led to the explanation that Earth is earth is ground, soil, what we stand on … named before there was an understanding that we too were a planet

There is nothing better than feeding the soil. We are far from spring planting here, but your post gives me the aroma and feel of it.

I really loved spreading my compost onto the gardens! Loved the look feel and smell!! Had a coworker that would give me her rabbit poop .. big garbage bag full every couple months! Not to brag but I grew not only beautiful flowers but enough veggies to share with family and coworkers/friends.
