Mindful exploring, through the eyes of a viking daughter.
This weekend we’re having temperatures around +110 F (+43.4 C,) the only option to stay sane is to make sure to get some time outside EARLY. I had some fencing to do, and I can assure you that I was very happy that I started at sunup. Around 8am it started to get closer to 100. Have you ever pounded down t-posts by hand? With some encouraging support from my dog I worked until I ran out of t-posts around 10am. Am I complaining? NO! It was actually very satisfying. I felt extremely strong. Things went smooth. The line of t-posts was reasonably straight….AND I was making the fence for my place, and not for anyone else! …to be continued π
I hope you’re having an awesome weekend!
Love,
Ms Zen
This made me think of the book Fup: I’m sure the old man in it was constantly hammering fence posts into the ground. I’m not sure-I will have to revisit it as it’s been a while. It’s a favourite though, only short. I will send it your way on Goodreads!

It is hard to categorise: a hard working, hard drinking 99 year old man who adopts his grandson and an abandoned baby duck who comes into their life. I remember being shocked at the beginning, bewildered at the end, and laughing out loud in between. It’s only short-you could read it comfortably in an afternoon.

Nothing like a book that surprises from time to time π
