Dear Farmer "gets it" more than we do...

Everything is supposed to settle down to a nice dull roar during the wintertime.  The feeding is supposed to go smoothly, the animals are supposed to behave nicely, and Dear Farmer is supposed to be getting a lot of planning done for the next year.  Being very methodical and retrospective he's supposed to be looking at where grazing was done & how it will be done in the upcoming year.  He's supposed to be reflecting on the rainfall over last year, how situations were handled & releasing the stresses.
Apparently no one clued in Dear Farmer. He's still working twelve hour days outside. Frozen, wet, and tired days.
Strange thing is, Dear Farmer comes inside to thaw, and he still has a smile on his face.  He still loves his job.
Despite the misbehaving animals, the plans that get written and rewritten in his head(because he's not making it to a desk), despite the increase in stresses and the dip in temperatures...Dear Farmer loves to do what he does. Though none of the rest of us really understand (sometimes), we do see that this is the way it should be.
Your Farmer should love his job.
