I started with a few pots on an apartment balcony and farm veggies on a 1/4 acre now. Feel free to holler if the books/YouTube/etc don't help and you have a question. 💚

Not going to need to buy chicken stock...ever.
(Because I'm pretty sure this isn't even half of what he has planned.)

Broccoli is tricky. I am, this year, a trickster.
Next year remains to be seen.

Thanks to the frogs. To the unicorns and axolotls. To the trombone players and the jazzercisers. Let's hold this line as long as we can.

Rebel. Resist. Disobey.
All different ways to avoid what outside entities claim you're "supposed to do."
This Yarrow takes its solitary stand against the incoming winter. The rest of the thousands have followed the expectations of the season and their upbringing, long gone to ground. #stillirise

My leased-land farm isn't going to work out for next year.
Almost wishing I had the awareness of a chicken, right now. At least for a short while.

Apple cider vinegar stock is restocked.
Later: chicken stock stock will be restocked.
Because: jars de-stocked of tomato sauce, canned green beans, and peaches left them ready for questionable apples' stock offerings.

There's still beauty. Kindness and care. There's still stillness, too, and on occasion - quiet.
Or perhaps not quite quiet. As your lifelong anchoring hope in the world trills a song not heard since that spring so many winters ago.

Oakleaf Hydrangea would like you to forget the shenanigans and catastrophies for just a moment,
or perhaps an afternoon,
or even an entire day,
if you can.
Let it all go, frosty on the edges, burning at the center, ready to drop.

We have to keep finding the magic. We simply have to.
And when we don't, or can't, that is when we must make it ourselves.
See the frosty faerie. Delight in the whimsy. Smile at the thought.

I'm not sure what is most important to do now about the future that's coming.
But no one ever has been.
These swans know what's most important to do now. Float. Eat. Bask. Preen.
Perhaps I'll spend the weekend swanning.
(I'm so glad I changed my commute.)

I'm grateful that reality is still too beautiful for this technology to capture and hold still in time.
That moment is gone. Created just for that slice of forever, whether or not Sandhill Crane, Carpenter Bumble Bee, or lil ol' me cared to notice.
I'm trying (even more) to notice.
