Thoughts From Jim

The days at Home At Last have a pattern of cycles and routines which are linked to nature, the animals and to being off-grid. There is the feeding of dogs, cats, birds, calves, goats and equines. There is management of power and water.
The power system is supported by wind, sun and occasionally by a generator. The wells fill storage tanks and watering troughs as well as providing domestic water.

The different needs of the critters requires medications and supplements, turn out and stalling, exercise and rest. These overlaying and meshing events and tasks weave a wonderful tapestry of activity.

It is both vibrant and peaceful in texture. There are repetitions, but no monotony.
Because of the lives who reside here, the variations are constant. Some are striking. Some are subtle. All are special to share in and experience.

Tanks fill and empty and refill in a tempo set by the seasons. Batteries charge and discharge and recharge again. New lives join us and, sadly, others leave us through death, leaving us privileged memories and appreciation of their lives. Our newest members find their places at the sanctuary. The baby animals-calves, kids, colts, kittens, pups and peeps- are a daily celebration of life and a source of joy.

Our older citizens teach us lessons in dignity, courage, peace and loyalty. This inspiring fabric of life woven with exciting and serene moments creates a truly wonderful and blessed journey for us.

Come visit us. We'd love to share this special life with you.
