Georgetown, KY: Finding a Daily Rhythm as Covid Nomads

So, what do we do all day as covid nomads? You might be surprised to learn, it's not that different from live before Covid. I'll start this post with a caveat: farmers are some of the hardest working people on the planet, and I fully recognize I could not do what they do. That said, an idyllic week or two on someone else's farm is a dream work-from-home situation. 

This is Great Crossings Farm in Georgetown, KY. It's about 20 minutes north of Lexington, which is famous for thoroughbred horse breeding and training farms. Our guest house is the attached to the left side of the main house (everything with the shorter roof). To take this shot I'm standing in the back yard, and there are about six acres of land behind me. See the short brown fence on the left? That's where I'll stand to take the next photo:

7:00 a.m. --Here's the yard as seen from the guest house porch. I usually start my mornings by standing on the porch and admiring the view. Inevitably, Rosie the cat will run over and ask for attention. 

Sometimes I'll walk over to the barn to see the goats and sheep too. Today I went over to give the goats some old bananas. Goats will eat anything, but the sheep were very obviously not interested in bananas at all. They only come over when I have peanuts.

7:30 a.m. --I try to start every morning with a walk, whether we're in the city or somewhere rural. At the farm, there's a mown walking path that goes through the property, along the cow pasture, around a creepy old abandoned farmhouse, and ends on the neighbor's property line. 

There's also a path into a forest that's shaded and full of spooky looking trees. I like the path, but it's definitely full of spiderwebs.

Can't walk through the forest without passing by the pasture and saying hello to Milk and Oreo. Oreo is the friendlier cow. Sometimes she lets me pet her. Milk always runs away.

8:30 a.m. --After my walk, it's time for coffee and work. Remember what I said about separate work spaces? I always look for photos of at least one dining table and one desk. That way we know we can can set up our computers in two different room. 

1:00 p.m. --Lunches tend to be simple. Here we have farm fresh eggs and tomatoes from the garden. The cucumbers are store bought but great this time of year.

6:00 p.m. --Some eye candy from the garden. No, I did not steal one. After work, I usually take another walk or jog, and then it's dinner time. And that's really how most of our days go!
