inside


wow...farming includes so many things! Every skill in book may come into play here, it's not all just planting and picking with the occasional watering and weeding in between.

I haven't really been doing it that long so I am learning these in order of incident.
Plant grafting, seed selection, transplanting, trellising, suckering, record keeping,
fencing, carpentry, plumbing, watering, feeding, putting to rest, learning lessons, being in the moment, and the ever elusive and virtuous patience. Just to name a few...

But don't let any of these stop you. This is what makes it fun and exciting.
We are just getting started here! It's an amazing journey...once you begin!

Southern homes


From Mississippi to Tennessee to North Carolina. All the way across and back through again...again and again. There is something here like gravitational pull. I look back through time towards home and find myself here, at home. Home is where your heart is. Home is where they love you. Home is where you are needed. I can be here and look back through, what I consider, the divine circumstances and defining moments of my life. The decisions and faces that lead me here and feel confident in my place...at this moment.
