Good Things

[Jade Harley]

It smells so wonderful outside... like honey and sweet things, but it's not oppressive, just barely there and tickling my nose. The breeze is so soft. I think spring is almost here. The grass is starting to grow up green, the sun is shining, the clouds are puffy and white, and the water hasn't had a thin sheen of ice over it for days. My ducks have also started laying more eggs than usual, and my bobwhite quail that I raised from chicks this Fall are just now beginning to lay eggs for the first time ever. I'm so proud of them, I love their voices and I love so many things about this place. I love how the world just continues to work this way, totally separate from people and college and all the expectations bearing down on me. I love how it puts thing into perspective and everything seems lighter for it, and I adore you guys for being around to enjoy the world with me.
