Waiting For Dandelions.

Quarantine continues here in Boston. Each day, the air gets cleaner. We have had weird weather freak snow storms…. At one point we lost power due to weather. But today, though a bit cold, is beautiful. The sun is shining and the cerulean sky seems to be laughing. As if the light breeze had told…

The jonquils dance today in the cold early spring breeze. It’s so nice to see them. We have been here so long now, I greet them in the spring as old friends returning from a great journey to the beyond they go to every winter.

Wildflower In The Mist
—
by
The mist has once again come to visit, it is playing in the forest with the trees. It rolled in with the wet and cold as if it were a team of wild horses dragging the mist with them rather than a cart. The smell of cold wind and wet surround me outside. A deep…

The mist is thick, as we are not an intervale farm, sitting up high on ridge in the foot hills not far from Wachusett Mountain. We sit surrounded today in a thick dark sea of new England fog, rising off the icy snow that fell and iced over coating the ground, just last night. The…

One of the most important parts of farming and homesteading is organization. This pot rack ran us $110. It’s a bit of a DIY. These three wooden bars are antique horse yolks. We hung them on the wall then just popped ’em full of hooks. Now we hang our pots there. I bought the yolks…
