Sunday Lovin'

I love Sundays.
Saturday is filled with end-of-week chores, the floors are mopped and bathrooms scrubbed. You know the drill.
I dont mind that one bit.
It means a clean house and an organised space.
But what really makes it worthwhile is knowing it also means Sunday is my day off  :)
It's a great routine and one I intend keeping through spring and summer.
Of course, the whole day isn't totally free.  There is still the farm feeds in the morning and late afternoon.
But the hours in between are blessedly free.  So many choices!  Play a boardgame with the kids.  Wander around the Farmers Market.  Bake. Build. Take a moment to appreciate what is around me.  Bliss.
Today has been one of those great Sundays.
The children have the same Saturday routine- chores caught up on and rooms tidied- so their Sunday is also free. 
Today they decided to sleep in. 
Good for them :)
Thismorning I was busy (relaxing- hey, it's Sunday) and I heard this monster noise. Of course I had to investigate.  This is what I found.
(Note: toward the  very end of the clip, you'll hear my son Richard, but until then, it's all Barney).

Anyone else have a pooch that snores?...

So what have I done with my Sunday?  Well, I took my time with morning farm feeds and spent some extra time with the animals.

 And then I fell in love all over again.

With the compost pile.

And Horatio fell in love with me.

For the very same reason.

I had to wrestle with Horatio to take this pic before he claimed Mr Worm

'What is this tousled headed creature'? I hear you gasp

Why, it's Horatio of course! Could it be any other??

Ok, back to the compost. You may think I'm crazy and perhaps I am.

But it's a wonderful thing to dig into aged manure sourced from your very own horses and pigs

And find it full of life. Good life.

All lined up just for you! 

No, I didnt arrange them, they apparently are just very orderly wormie-types

Oh, be still my beating heart :)

It's been a wonderful day. I can't wait to put this amazing compost to good use.

And here is it's new home..

But that's another post entirely...

And how was your Sunday?
