Hello, Munchkin here again!  We had a terrible week of heavy rains and now it’s starting to get drier.  I shouldn’t complain but I will!  I’ve been having an awful time trying to get things done on the farm because it is sooooo wet.  I just end up getting covered in water, mud, dirt and feeling sorry for myself.  The other day, I thought of a mantra to keep myself going and it went like this: “I am a store-house of creativity….I am a store-house of creativity….I am a store-house of creativity.”  Ha-Ha, I need to laugh at myself now because when I actually write it down, it sounds like a repetitive loop which totally lacks lustre and inventiveness!

Anyway, yesterday, whilst walking around on the farm, caked in wetness and dirt, I wasn’t exactly feeling great.  Instead of the mantra, I was wailing and flailing with occasional huffing and puffing!! Gnome hid behind a tree nearby and stuck his yellow welly out at me and said cheekily:

“Munchkin!!  Are you a store-house of creativity??!!”

He guffawed and laughed at my mantra whilst shaking about in a little dance.  His yellow wellies were flailing up in the air…dare I say…like River Dance.  It was such a stupid sight that I did have to laugh and that snapped me out of my dourness.  So, I did get stuff done (happily) in the end…

Transplanted the tomato plants:

Cleaned the Pigtail buckets…I get these from town and they start piling up under the house until I get fed up and do a huge wash up.

Did the laundry in the Gnomified washing machine:

Spent some quality time with the little creatures on the farm.  Whilst doing all that, I forgot about repeating the mantra and just got on with it.  Better when the brain doesn’t get in the way sometimes!!
