Got a cow...
Well, sort of. My husband and I just bought a cow share in our local dairy association. Now we can have organic milk from grass fed cows. And the most important thing for me is that the herd is small (only 5 cows at this point)so we can know the individual cows personally. They're Jersey mix and so cute. Midori will be able to have bovine growth hormone free diary products- a long standing goal of mine. And I'll be able to offer Brighid milk from them, which is also nice.

I've finished only one more of the virtues though, mostly because I've been busy working on getting the cow share:

I used imagery from The Wild Swans- a fairy tale that, in my opinion, illustrates the height of perseverance. I also used images of Oaks and acorns because I love the quote: "The greatest oak was once an acorn that held its ground."

I also love this quote: "Nobody trips over mountains. It is the small pebble that causes you to stumble. Pass all the pebbles in your path and you will find you have crossed the mountain." Both are from unknown sources and I think they'll both become my mantras for finishing the DP. Bit by bit, step by step, I'm going to do it.
