The Ugly Truth
Each morning, as you read my blog,
I would love for you to imagine me like this....
gracefully skipping around the farm,
with a handmade basket on my arm,
tending to my chickens, goats and horses.
Flowing frocks, pinafores, floppy hat...
clean-faced, freshly washed hair blowing in the gentle morning breeze.
Sadly, though, the ugly truth is this...
I roll out of bed before the sun comes up.
I throw on my under armor and the rattiest, warmest
outdoor clothing with the warmest, dumbest hat I can find and out I go.
I work for 2 or three hours in the freezing Northeast winter cold,
and I actually look like this.....
Sad, but true.
The upper pictures really are me,
when I have enough time to actually get myself ready.
But for morning chores....
Well, the animals (thankfully) could care less what I look like.
So there you have it...
The ugly truth!
