Apparently, offering a photographer friend our cabin while we traveled recently worked out pretty well for us. Not only did he care for our home and cat, he took some great photos while he was here.
This one, in particular, stands out, so I thought we’d share it with you.

“Work is not always required . . . there is such a thing as sacred idleness, the cultivation of which is now fearfully neglected.” —George MacDonald
I ended the essay, Core Values: Hard Work with an anecdote about my sister urging us to dial back our rate of work on the homestead. She advocated establishing a “Sabbath,” an enforced day of rest, to prevent us from working constantly.
While we recognized the wisdom of this practice, we found it difficult to implement.
