• 0:22
  Coop and let's start your day off in a fantastic way.
• 0:27
  Hey everybody. Good morning from the chicken
• 0:29
  coop. Well, actually.
• 0:30
  I've paced out of the chicken coop area and I.
• 0:32
  Am over. By the pond looking at.
• 0:36
  Flowers and things and how they did.
• 0:38
  Overnight and. What this is a really?
• 0:41
  Hard time for me this time of year.
• 0:44
  Because I know. Where I planted things.
• 0:47
  And I know some of them disappeared over the winter.
• 0:50
  I don't know if they died off because we had.
• 0:53
  Snow and we don't normally have snow, I'm not sure, but.
• 0:56
  The unknown is a very big factor.
• 0:59
  Right now. So as I walk around and I wait.
• 1:01
  I have all. These plans in my head.
• 1:03
  About. Going and buying more flowers
• 1:06
  and repopulating I'm. Starting the second trays of
• 1:08
  flowers this week in. The garage.
• 1:10
  I've got some planted in the. Flower garden for cutting.
• 1:14
  And then I've got some that I want to plant just to plant so.
• 1:18
  That that's the second way of going.
• 1:20
  In and then I'm I always go out and I buy things that are grown
• 1:23
  and ready to go and I will plant those around the edge of the
• 1:26
  pond this year. We have this big.
• 1:28
  Plan about doing well. I have the big plan about
• 1:32
  putting. So.
• 1:33
  Much milkweed. All over the property.
• 1:35
  So I'm starting another. Tray of milkweeds that can go
• 1:39
  out. And I am just saturating.
• 1:41
  The place with the possibility of being.
• 1:44
  A restaurant. Feeding station.
• 1:46
  For as many butterflies and pollinators as I possibly can,
• 1:50
  and. This is a.
• 1:52
  This is a process for me that requires trust.
• 1:55
  And requires me to not try to be in control of it constantly and.
• 2:01
  It's a hard process. Let me just say that.
• 2:03
  It's a very hard process for me because the weather.
• 2:08
  Is not always like clockwork, so I can't say, oh, on April 30th,
• 2:12
  I know everything's going to be up by then or, you know, I know
• 2:16
  it's all going to. Show me that it's.
• 2:18
  It's making strides and it's all going to work.
• 2:20
  That doesn't work that way and I can't stand that.
• 2:23
  My certainty, girl. Really, Really.
• 2:26
  Struggles with that stuff so I have to.
• 2:28
  Be patient. And in my patients, one of the
• 2:31
  things that I've learned. Is that?
• 2:33
  When I don't feel patient. When I can't seem to dig up my
• 2:37
  patients. I I really.
• 2:39
  Work hard on telling myself. Oh, it's going to be a surprise.
• 2:42
  So I. I wait and I.
• 2:45
  Give myself the little clues about.
• 2:47
  I'm going to get to. See it?
• 2:48
  Soon arriving any moment, just like me seeing all the
• 2:52
  hummingbirds come back and setting up things that are
• 2:55
  different, I get. Excited about it, so I tried.
• 2:57
  To. Give myself the ability to be
• 2:59
  surprised. By things like you might be
• 3:01
  hearing this little ticking off in the background.
• 3:05
  That happens to be a woodpecker, A redheaded woodpecker that we
• 3:09
  have actually. Is he redheaded?
• 3:11
  Well, here's the. Crazy thing.
• 3:13
  He's a red. He's got redhead, but he's
• 3:16
  actually a red belly woodpecker, so I'd go figure.
• 3:18
  Why they don't call him the Redheaded Woodpecker?
• 3:20
  Because the redheaded woodpecker.
• 3:21
  Looks different than him. It's.
• 3:23
  Really crazy. But anyway, setting setting up
• 3:27
  all these little things that surprise.
• 3:29
  Me like. I put something out, a different
• 3:31
  birdbath, hoping. That he would actually show.
• 3:33
  Up here. And he is.
• 3:35
  He's going to. This so.
• 3:36
  Keeping myself. Surprised.
• 3:38
  By results and experimenting constantly.
• 3:41
  Really does. Give me the.
• 3:44
  Ability to shift out of. Needing patients to being
• 3:48
  excited about different outcomes, different things.
• 3:51
  I'm waiting for now, I may. Be surprised by the fact that.
• 3:55
  You know, something doesn't come up, but I'm still using a
• 3:58
  different word around it. Again this.
• 4:00
  Is about. Reframing everything to a better
• 4:03
  thing instead of just being like impatient or like in
• 4:06
  anticipation constantly. They're both not healthy to stay
• 4:11
  in for a very. Long period of time but excited.
• 4:14
  Oh. That's a good one to stay in and
• 4:15
  I am genuinely excited to. See what happens with.
• 4:19
  The milkweed that we've planted, I mean this the number of plants
• 4:23
  that we. Have out here if they all take
• 4:25
  off. Could be tremendous, and it
• 4:27
  could. Be a huge shift.
• 4:28
  In just. The ecology of what's?
• 4:31
  Happening around the pond and what it brings in.
• 4:35
  We have a full very excited about the fact that we have a
• 4:39
  full force. Of dragonflies out already can't
• 4:43
  begin to tell you what joy that brings to me.
• 4:45
  And excitement because we have all different colors and they
• 4:49
  are stunning when they're all out and they're working in force
• 4:52
  to get rid of mosquito larvae and mosquitoes and everything
• 4:55
  else. It's it's it's delightful in
• 4:57
  every. Way possible.
• 4:59
  So maintaining a piece. Of that.
• 5:02
  Consciousness of saying I'm going to focus on excitement
• 5:06
  instead and of focusing on being, you know, anxious about
• 5:11
  something not showing up is a great.
• 5:12
  Shift to look for SO. Work on that.
• 5:15
  Try to pull that into your life and say, you know what?
• 5:17
  Instead of sitting here and being impatient and dreading or,
• 5:21
  you know, arguing for what might not work, do it the other way.
• 5:26
  Turn it around and say I'm excited to.
• 5:29
  See exactly what shows up. Every single day.
• 5:33
  All right, my friends, I hope you.
• 5:34
  Have a. Blessed day and I will see you
• 5:36
  tomorrow. Bye.
