A\nfresh blanket of frost lightly covers the blades of grass that have been\nstimulated to reach for the ever-increasing light of the day. The crows are still\nbusy cracking the numerous pecans that have fallen from the over-grown tree in the\nfront yard. It seems that the ever-hungry Main Ague cattle cannot get enough of\nthe freshly sprouting grass or the hay bailed from the nearby fields. Agnes,\nthe faithful and dutiful Great Pyrenees keeps watch over the Nigerian Dwarf\ngoats and is the dutiful guardian of the stable and pastureland. Gracie the faithful\nGolden Retriever fulfills her mission each day as she demands a warm rubbing\nhand and a dedicated time in the lap of this not so eager participant in\nParkinson’s disease. As the temperature slowly moves upward toward that\nembraced by Spring, the chickens, scratching and pecking as they wander the\nyard and fields, now deliver more eggs rich with the nutrients of nature. Today,\nthe rage of muscle resistance and rigidity, often coupled with involuntary\njerks and tremors, all seem to be less consuming in the light of the blessings\nof nature that are around. From the soil of gratitude comes the recognition of blessings\nthat delight this heart. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
