confusion comes when the phrase is heard instead of read.

In some cases, assume can make sense in the sentence

In
regard to Shawfarming...
“The Farm” is the next best thing to a spa! Really!!
It is
peaceful and calming…
It’s a place
to get away from it all, you really don’t have to do anything, or you can sweat
out all your toxins (just requires a bit more physical activity). You can clear your mind and your head just
sitting on the porch feeling the refreshing Moulton breeze. You can listen to the peace and quiet of
birds singing and branches rustling or you can turn up the music as loud as you
please (the cows might mind, but who cares!).
You can don your robe, put your hair and your feet up; then read a book
for hours without distraction.
Except for the constant sound of St. Philip relaxing in his own way…constructing! For now this is his happy place, his spa of sorts. I’m sure he’d enjoy a good novel or a good nap, but there is work to be done and
here it doesn't seem so much like WORK!

Even if it's just decorating the almost finished space!!
