I want to introduce you to the latest band I have fallen head over heels for, Mumford and Sons. They're an alternative band with indie lyrics to a bluegrass background, which sounds crazy but it's great. My roommate was kind enough to lend me their album, Sigh No More, and it has been on repeat for a week since. This is their song, "Little Lion Man". Enjoy! --- Weep for yourself, my man, You'll never be what is in your heart Weep Little Lion Man, You're not as brave as you were at the start Rate yourself and rake yourself, Take all the courage you have left Wasted on fixing all the problems  That you made in your own head But it was not your fault but mine And it was your heart on the line I really fucked it up this time Didn't I, my dear? Didn't I, my... Tremble for yourself, my man, You know that you have seen this all before Tremble Little Lion Man, You'll never settle any of your scores Your grace is...

I am sitting at our dining table, sipping coffee and eating oatmeal, preparing for another day. I am trying to think of a topic to write about, but not having much success, so I decided to use an old high school english class tool- free writing. The idea is to put words to paper for a few minutes, even if you don't have an idea of what to write, just to get your brain going. I have tons of ideas for great blogs, the problem is I never get around to taking the right photos at the right time to make it all come together. Perhaps I will share some of my ideas? I've been thinking it would be fun to make some food posts, since I have been cooking much more here on the farm. It isn't anything fancy, but simple home made meals and treats, using what I have and can find. Another idea is art posts. Since stocking up on card stock a few weeks ago I have been a paper project machine. Since it is Mother's Day coming up this weekend, I am working on gifts for my dear mothers (mine...

Finally, a post! I have been thinking constantly of ways to encourage myself to put words to paper during the busy busy days of a farmer. Obviously, thinking is about as far as I have gotten. It has been another long week, though thankfully not as hectic as the previous one. We drove home last weekend to visit for my baby sister's birthday, and enjoyed the company of family, as well as way too much good food. Unfortunately I didn't have any money to buy her a gift, but I crafted a few things (which I forgot to photograph, typical.) I did get some of the mini bird cage lanterns, although the quality of the shots leaves much to be desired. I also made four hand sewn coffee bags (with heart tags) and a card. I hope she liked them. Tuesday we went to a market in downtown Richmond, which had the most interesting assortment of customers (from older family types to younger college hipsters.) When we were leaving we realized the tire was flat. Then we realized the 6 wrenches we had w...
