Many thanks for the suggestions about my next period of time now that my hibernaculum period has ended.
I decided to go with the suggestions of a fifty day period, ending at Pentecost which this year is Sunday 24th May. In the Anglican liturgical calendar (and many more), all this time is Eastertide. It's fifty days and that seems like a good period to work with.
But now we go down a rabbit hole or rather into a hare's form. Hares are becoming more common around here and that is good news. They don't like land which has been over-treated with pesticides or fertilisers, so an increase in their numbers means that the land is being treated gently and with more respect.
My motto for the period will be "Hare today, done tomorrow". I want to treat my time with respect. I've got plans for these fifty days (or the forty which are left). I'm hoping that some time during June to September we will get a very hot period when I won't want to do much but this time should be comfortable and conducive to action.
I hope you like the Hare Brained Hare above. It's by Hannah Dale who lives not far from here. She's created a "wilding" project which you can read about here. Please visit her website.
Thank you for the link - I had admired her artwork, but not read her story before. Lovely!!
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome. I don't know if the farm ever has open days but if they do, I'll be there.
DeleteI love Hannah's illustrations. I wonder if you have read a very interesting book called 'Raising Hare'?
ReplyDeleteNot yet, but I shall seek it out.
DeleteWhat a wonderful project reclaiming the original landscape. I went to their online store too and bookmarked it for the future. There was a cross stitch I may just have to order.
ReplyDeleteThey are all lovely, aren't they. I am tempted by her hare but I have too many UFOs!
DeleteLove how she is trying to reclaim the landscape.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Interesting, isn't it!
DeleteI loved Jonh Lewis-Stempel's book 'the Running Hare' about reclaiming one little field meadow to see what would happen in just a couple of years. Lyrical and encouraging.
ReplyDeleteI've no plans apart from persevering through getting our home extension sorted and built this summer!
That is another book to look out for. And getting your home extension from dream to reality does not sound a minor plan to me!
