Rituals. We all have them right? Whether it be how you do your clothes each week, do the dishes every night after work or that special bath you take just for yourself. Today I thought I would share one of mine with you- it’s nothing big and fancy mind you but it is something that […]

Wild Geese
You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on you knees for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and […]
Veggie Fix
Posted in Farm Kitchen, The Garden on Nov 26th, 2007
I. can. not. get. enough. veggies! Luckily I use to drive truck and have some very good friends that still bring me prezzies every once in a while. My good friend Matt stopped at a farmers market in Salinas Ca. and brought me yummy organic zucchini that was fresh picked on Saturday morning (which is about […]
I’m Craving Veggies!
Posted in Farm Kitchen, FYI, The Garden on Nov 25th, 2007
You can still have greens to eat during the winter months, if you’re patient. I’m not very patient, but I just can’t stop looking longingly at my empty garden, wishing I could take my morning walk out to grab what I need to make a fresh egg scramble for breakfast or a nice fresh salad […]
I’ve got Nuthin’ but Muffins
Posted in Farm Kitchen, Life on Nov 20th, 2007
So, here I am a few days slack of writing and I still have nothing….Just a plain ol blank page staring at me. So, as usual lots have went on, but nothing that leaps from my brain, to my fingers, to the key board. Right now I’m baking muffins, so I figured I’d share something […]

Meet Squeaky Monroe. He has like the other 3 cats I have in the house- shown up on our property unannounced and taken my heart against my will. I try my hardest to ignore them and hope they will sleep in the barn happily, but for some reason they always pine for me on my door step […]
Watermelon & Pumpkins
Posted in Family, The Garden, Chikkers on Nov 11th, 2007
Today we cleaned the barn of all pumpkins, squash, & watermelon we have been storing. We try to keep as much in the barn up until the deep freeze comes on full blast. It was hard to think about a deep freeze since it was 60 degrees out today.
I have froze about 15 quart bags of pumpkin and just […]
I’m unhappy and I have;
Thoughts that keep me awake at night
Actions that have made me into a person I don’t want to be
Faces that make me wonder if they are true or not
Feelings that rule my life
Way of life that I love
Needs that are not met
Animals that need me
Land that I love
Loss of money […]
Since early this summer, I’ve been having these recurring dreams. My dream, well I don’t know if it’s even a dream at this point or just strong feelings because it’s kinda weird- which suites me just perfectly, happens like this…
At least once a week I have these “feelings”. Like either someone is standing at my doorway to my bedroom looking […]
I’m sad to say we (my husband) had to put down one of my hens. She was one of my 3 year olds, a Black Australorp that did a fine job of entertaining us, eating bugs on our farm and she provided us with many fresh eggs over the years. She will be missed much. I gave her […]
