    I have been avoiding this blog. Because somehow posting some of what has happened will somehow make it feel real and official. I have been feeling very tired, emotionally wrung out. Also a bit lost and listless. One of the most important relationships I have had in my life recently came to an end. There…

    The sun was shining and the still, winter, dead, land smelled of mud, cold, and damp, when I woke up to the most amazing miracle of perhaps all time on this little farm. The dog and I have been watching and waiting for several days now, as we go about our daily farm duties. Always…

    The Frozen River, by Ariel Lawhon, became a favorite of the book club very easily and quickly. Many wanted to read it, though it was a little longer than what we usually go for. But we are all super glad we made the exception for this book. The last book I think we all loved…

    My feet crunch in the snow on the top step from the house out into the 5 acre abyss of whiteness, that Pikku, is painting yellow. She stands beside me, an artist inspired by the blank white canvas in front of her with only one possible paint color to fill the emptiness with. The wind,…

    Yes, that is in fact a chicken riding a goat. Sometimes, that chicken even tries to produce future offspring with that goat. Barn yards can be weird places. Sometimes even very weird. I am not sure why they insist on being deeply weird some days… But they do. I think they forget sometimes we are…

    The snow reflects the light of the sun back into the blue sky. The cold, has been, horrendous and it isn’t going to let up any time soon. It’s so odd as the last several years were so shockingly warm and snowless that Massachusetts, stopped feeling like the home of my childhood. The apples and…

    Tress Of The Emerald Sea by Brandon Sanderson, was a very easy to read book. A page turner I blew through pretty quickly. Over all the book club enjoyed this book. They found it entertaining. Enjoyed the science fiction meets fantasy features. It was well written for what it is. It seems to pose the…

    A hitch that smells of cold apple blossoms has attacked the farm. It is holding up the finishing touches on our plans for Christmas decor. Depriving us of the ability to fully get in the spirit of the up coming holiday. Snow, swirls in the air. It insulates us from what little sound finds it’s…

    Last night the air was cold, and something truly beautiful and magical began to happen… The dark sky opened up and small white falling crystals of water fell, descending gradually towards the ground dancing against the back drop of the evening sky. The grace each falling crystal displayed as it hung in the air on…

    Outside, the night is dark and cold. Inside, I sit by the wood stove that is cranking out heat for my comfort. Soon, I will allow the fire to die and head to bed. But first… I had to share these photos.
