Landlessons: January 2013
http://landlessons.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 2, 2013. Seed catalogs started arriving today. Which means that some of my favorite reading of the year begins today as well. Tuesday, January 1, 2013. New Year, Old Lessons. 2013 begins, with all the promise and all the challenge that each new year brings. I'm looking forward, as always, to learning - and re-learning - some of the old lessons that this land has tried so hard to teach me. I am doing so in hopes of really learning the lessons this time. In so far as anyone ever does.

Landlessons: February 2014
http://landlessons.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 23, 2014. Some Snow Don't Want To Go. Even 68 degrees today hadn't managed to persuade these stragglers to complete their melt:. By tomorrow, this last bit should be just a memory. But a pleasant one - I enjoyed this snow. Where the Snow Goes When It Melts. The big snow lasted on the ground well over a week here at the farm, and when it began in earnest to depart, a fair amount of it exited by way of our creek. Just a day after I visited its snow-covered banks. The Snows of Yesterweek.

Landlessons: September 2013
http://landlessons.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 15, 2013. Afternoon of the Fauns. Now that we've had the first real hint that summer will be ending, I've been thinking back over this one, and the spring before it, the things I've done here, grown here, seen here. I've been busy doing them, not writing about them, but I thought I'd take a moment now and then to look back, and share those glances here. I have seen the fauns again, on and off, all through the summer, growing nicely - thanks in no small part to the smorgasbord. I am alwa...

Landlessons: December 2013
http://landlessons.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 7, 2013. Is there ice coming? Enough to knock the power out? Won't know until the lights go off - or stay on. But I've made sure there's plenty of water in jugs and bottles. The lamps and flashlights and book lights are all ready. Plenty of food. A big pot of turkey and rice soup taking shape in my mind in preparation for it taking slow shape in my stock pot starting sometime between midnight and dawn. Propane grill ready if needed. The radios have new batteries. But if not -. I've wri...

Landlessons: May 2013
http://landlessons.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 5, 2013. Sunday by the Creek. I spent some time this morning beside the creek that flows so gently through beside this farm. As always, undiminished after nearly eighteen years, this flow captivates and restores me. Saturday, May 4, 2013. Beautiful babies, beautiful mothers, beautiful little farm, all very well cared-for. A good cool Saturday, fifteen degrees or morebelow normal - the temperature sign in town said 50 at noon. Cloudy but dry. Friday, May 3, 2013. Ready For The Cicadas To Sing.

Landlessons: I'm not the only one interested in blackberries
http://landlessons.blogspot.com/2014/06/im-not-only-one-interested-in.html
Sunday, June 29, 2014. I'm not the only one interested in blackberries. As this little guy proved - or tried to - when I was clearing one of the blackberry patches. Not so little, actually - 27 inches of copperhead wanting nothing more than to be a copperhead. But this one was doing its copperhead thing too close to the house, and so it is now a former copperhead. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. The road to the farm.

Landlessons: September 2012
http://landlessons.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 29, 2012. Fall by the calendar for a full week now, but not yet by this farm. Most of the leaves remain on the trees, and most of them remain green. But there are hints by the sides of the road, and before long there will be portents, and not long after that the trees and the weather and the rest of it will know that it is autumn, and none involved will be able to deny it. So much still to do in preparation but in other ways I am ready, and have been. Friday, September 28, 2012. But w...
