Sheep.
My cousin is a shepherd.
She is taking care of a big herd of about 200 mother sheep and more lambs.
They are used for landscape conservation ( keeping the gras short) in a landscape full of fruit trees where no machines are used.
Visited her for one weekend and liked feeding the lambs and helping guiding the herd from one green place to another.
I miss animals in my daily life.

No special skills, no plan.
Kitsch is ok.

Sweat and flowers.
My body became immediately happy.
Honestly, we should dance more.

public book storages:
what do you do when public libraries are for free but need your identity card for registration...
or are too far away when you are just hanging out in the park and could need a nice book?
Public book shelves where people can just bring and take books as they like.
