Sunlight is Melting all the Snow — Wednesday, December 6, 2023

And the wind.

The wind is lifting the leaves and drying them —causing a type of dancing-in-the-wind sort of feeling

Mud is the story now–lots of it

LaVerne, our mule, says she doesn’t care–mud, no mud, life is always the sensation of joy for her!

(We are melting fast now.  Which is a good thing.)

The Corn Harvest is in a bit of a Tattered Mess —- Monday, December 4, 2023

Although, I must confess I love the gossamer loveliness of the snow

The shadows drifting over the lawn

The thick chunks stuck in the bushes

And the whispy snowballs perched on the tree branches

It’s beautiful!  (We just stopped thinking about the harvest—it’s the only way to go forward).

We Came to a Huge STOP— Sunday, December 3, 2023

Friday we woke up to this

It snowed most of the day—then started melting in the late afternoon

Then more snow overnight

Stopped we are for a spell.

The snow is lovely, wet, and heavy.  A gift—we will take.

The harvest will happen again—as soon as we dry back out. 🙂

Navigating in a Storm — Wednesday, 29, 2023

Grass Shadow–

My! was Saturday ever cold!  A skiff of snow, but the wind!  Oh! My! The Wind!  Right off the North Pole and heavy/hard. 

I’m sure it’s heading across the States for others to feel the chill.  😦

Gradually we started warming up (a bit), thankfully!

They are the bestest of guests!

And a wee joy for my eyes to see!

SOON! Very, very Soon —Sunday, November 26, 2023

Out we went—to the cornfields

We gathered enough ears to run through the moisture meter at Foster Farm (that is where we sell the corn, so our corn needs to meet the moisture content of their meter)

Boo Berry helped.  She is a big helper! 🙂

Almost all the ears are pointing to the ground —- 15%,  as soon as the moisture drops to 14% we begin!!
