Frieda decided to sleep in this morning.
We've had a couple of days of rain. Much appreciated. The lawn is a hayfield, the rest of the place is a jungle and I am practicing the philosophy of not worrying over what I cannot control. Which does not come naturally, by the way. Neighbor Bill got the lawn mower fixed and back to me yesterday. I planned to mow today but------rain.
I have plenty to occupy myself with if only I would listen to myself.
I wish I had more to say, but this is it, folks. Quiet times at the Worlds End. Oh, one thing. How I came up with the name of the farm. I lived in a city neighborhood in St. Paul. I was talking to a neighbor, telling her about the place we bought west of Minneapolis. I kept talking about the marvelous barn, wherein she finally asked if there is a house. There is, albeit a mess of a house. Finally she decreed we were moving to the end of the world. There was my farm name. Ta-da.
Of course, dinner. Salmon steamed in butter with garlic and tarragon, along with a mixed greens salad. I have enough salmon left to make a pasta with salmon meal.

I've wondered about the farm name. And tarragon, there's an herb I rarely use. I should think about where I'd like it, thank you.
Ah yes, the philosophy of not worrying over what we cannot control. I'm not good at that either. I can't help fretting about the general state of the world and the UK. I can't just shut it all out.
Your salmon looks pretty good! Good that you got rain maybe make your own hay:)
Tarragon is my favorite, Boud. It's good in a potato salad which has vinegar in it. Fabulous with fish and chicken.
I'm the same nick. It permeates everything.
The salmon was good. Mark gave it a thumbs up! Everything is overgrown, Far Side.
I love the name Worlds End. I like the story behind it too. The name is a story unto itself. You came to the end and began a life in a new world, that has worked out very well for you and many beloved animals. I say well done.
Stay Safe,
Kaye
The end of the world as you know it. And you feel fine. I am thinking of the song by Great Big Sea. I think there’s a more famous song or version by a more famous band.
Yes indeed! I love the way you came up with that farm name!!!
Loved hearing how your place got its name. :)
That salmon looks soooo good!
Depending on how much rain you got you may not be able to mow tomorrow, either. ;)
I think that's a neat name. :)
Ahhh, what a great story for the name of your farm that is now a beloved home.
We called our place Mulewings for quite a while. Mule + Ewing placed together. I still use it on my blog.
Worry about what's happening? Yes, I do. I have to find distractions to get it out of my head.
Are you going to get the heat heat heat wave this coming week? Yikes.
This is insightful, Kaye. I actually never thought of it that way but it's true. Thanks for this.
It was the end of the world as I knew, AC. I had a complete transformation!
I have my former Neighbor, Jane, to thank for the inspiration, Lori. At times I thought the farm should be called Nothing But Bays because that's what I had more than any!
Thanks, Rita. I am hopeful that I can mow today. The grass is currently wet but it should be ok after lunch.
Thanks Cheerful.
Now I know how you came up with Mulewings, Val. Creative! We are going back to the miserable heat and humidity. Summer is pretty much unusable for me these past years.
Sound like we're having rain next couple of days. Looks like we will be mowing lawn come Wednesday or Thursday.
