an experiment in free writing


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 and Jonathan's, whom we both consider our own.) This afternoon I will begin putting them together (with camera in hand, for once!) Music and poetry are two other topics which provide endless posts, though not as personal as the others (since I can neither play music nor write poetry.) The farm obviously gives me a plethera of ideas worthy of blogging, it is only a matter of putting them together. I have been working on an interesting and informative post about chickens, which I will (hopefully!) get finished sometime this week. The last idea I have been mulling over is writing several blogs and uploading them at the same sitting (since I do not have steady access to the internet), and I can schedule them to post on certain days and times. That means- I could have a whole weeks worth of posts, actually online! Well it is nearing time to get outside and break a sweat, so for now, farewell. Any feedback regarding my ideas is welcome!

real snow - the morning chores

When I woke up at 7 this morning it was still dark outside, but I could see that it was only a dusting on the driveway. Sigh. I fixed a cup of coffee, turned on the little heater in the bathroom, and got ready for work. Twenty minutes later when I came back into the bedroom it was a bit brighter outside, with a lot more snow. It was coming down hard too. We went outside and took care of the animals. The rabbits seem just fine in their new fixed up cages. The ducks, always impervious, swam and splashed about in their water bowl for a solid thirty minutes before retreating to the fresh hay in their crate to warm their feet. Not for long though, I can see them back out there now. Since I moved the fence yesterday I can see them perfectly from my bedroom window. It makes me smile. I'm glad that it snowed enough, early enough, that we could call into work. Snow day! The dogs are a trip to watch in the snow. Playful as ever, they run around kicking it up, eating it o...

the good, the bad, and the embarrassing

Our first week and a half on the farm have not been uneventful by any means. In fact, tonight on the ride home I said to the Universe (or more accurately Jonathan, since that's who heard me) "thanks for all the tests you've been throwing at us lately, but that's enough for now, please?" We expected some hard times and lots of hard work, but we weren't ready for random mishaps and accidents that would set us back so soon in the change. Bad things that have happened since we arrived: Jonathan gets a tick and the head is stuck in his back. It's been a week now and I think it's all worked out, but I was really scared. We get locked out of the Jeep, and it's $120 for a locksmith to come unlock it. We have snatched Zaphod (our kitty) off of upstairs windowsills about five times. I smacked myself in the forehead with a knife (apparently I missed the day in class when they tought you basic knife-holding skills.) It was just a little cut, mainly my ego ...

introducing... me.

At long last, I'd like to show you a little bit of my artwork. It's not the greatest, and I'm usually inspired by a particular artist when I paint, and I will always try to give credit for my inspiration. This first set of paintings were inspired by Nastasha Wescoat, a beautiful self-taught artist from Michigan. Her whimsical trees, kitties, and birdies are breath-taking, and also the inspiration for my next tattoo, which I am treating myself to for my birthday next week (and I am so excited!) You can see more of here artwork here. So, here goes. Enjoy. One final piece, not fitting with the rest, but I spent three hours on it last night, and I wanted to share. Until next time.
