Remembering Nooka #07 … PEACE-full on the porch (08/15/2018)
One of my favorite things to do when I was living at the farm (off and on from 2006 through 2011) was work in the woods … Nooka almost always went with me whenever I did so, and would go exploring nearby while I pruned tree branches and cleared felled logs and trimmed back overgrown paths … I frequently lost track of time while working — often near to the point of dehydrated exhaustion — and yet Nooka was always watching out for me, and always made it very clear when it was time to head back to rest awhile on the back porch … She wasn’t much of a snuggler, that Nooka (understatement) and yet I still remember warmly those times when I would sit in my rocking chair on that porch — sipping tea or lemonade –and watching the woods and everything in it swell & grow & flow & breath ……… with Nooka smoothly sleeping at my side.
