Floyd Virginia Living: September 2011
http://floydvirginialand.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 17, 2011. You've heard me speak of my neighbor, Ed. Ed and his wife Francois (the French Chick) live on Laurel Creek, backing up against Poor Mountain. Ed's the guy that everyone calls when there's some sort of action on the Mountain. This week I traded about 4 dozen fresh farm eggs for some beautiful beets and a bag full of maters. I found a recipe that we hope to use and abuse. Goat cheese and leeks and roasted beet tart. Wow. Yum. Beet, Leek and Goat Cheese Tart. 1 Tbsp olive oil.

Tuesday, November 29, 2011. BENT MOUNTAIN TACKY TRACTOR CHRISTMAS PARADE. Ventured up from the big city to become parade participants. As we just threw them up on one of the "floats". We usually stop along the way and picnic and libate. Apparently I just made up that word but hmmm.it seems fitting. Making merry and all. We parade this year in ridiculously fun memory of old friends. Friday, November 11, 2011. BENT MOUNTAIN WOMAN GIVES UP URBAN COFFEE SCENE FOR CHICKEN $ %#. To winter fertilize his delicio...

Friday, July 22, 2011. THE LITTLE WHITE LIE ABOUT AC ON BENT MOUNTAIN. Full disclosure: Yes, we have it. Sometimes we use it. Yes, we could live without it. And the summer of 2011 has had it cranked on Bottom Creek Lane. This particular mid July morning I'm feeling blessed to be cool. I did go outside earlier to play with my chickens (that's what farmers do, right? Play with the chickens? Friday, July 15, 2011. HISTORY OF THE BOTTOM CREEK GORGE COMMUNITY. Residents of this area have also stood at the top...

Saturday, August 4, 2012. A TOURIST'S PERSPECTIVE:WE GOT IT GOING ON. We call ourselves HomeBase. We had to write a little bio/blurb for the FloydFest schedule brochure so we came up collectively with the following: "Homebase: a gathering place where people experience real relationship with each other. A non-denominational place of sanctuary, celebration, peace, love and healing.". Pretty lofty, huh? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Own a bit of paradise. A TOURISTS PERSPECTIVE:WE GOT IT GOING ON.

Floyd Virginia Living: April 2012
http://floydvirginialand.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 14, 2012. SMALL HOUSE MOVEMENT:FLOYD COUNTY STYLE. If you, gentle Reader, permit me a sweeping generalization, honour me thusly. (Oh, my. Don't ever let me read 17th century English poetry early in the morning and then try to blog. I don't want to be the one to give you just cause to upchuck your oatmeal.). A few years ago we (well Larry, and I added my two-cents usually just late enough to make the job difficult) built a cabin in the woods. Electricity runs off a generator and we "ta...

Floyd Virginia Living: SW VA MOUNTAIN MAN LIVES UP TO HIS IMAGE
http://floydvirginialand.blogspot.com/2012/03/sw-va-mountain-man-lives-up-to-his.html
Saturday, March 3, 2012. SW VA MOUNTAIN MAN LIVES UP TO HIS IMAGE. I started a new interim ministry job a couple of months ago which has proven very lucrative for my mental health aside from putting a little folding money in my pocket. Unfortunately said employ has cut down a bit on my unlimited time for introspective musings. So I enlisted the gentleman of the house who will now duly impress you with his manly pursuits. Harvesting Trees: a Floyd Virginia Tradition. Floyd land for sale. SW VA MOUNTAIN MA...

Monday, August 8, 2011. REPURPOSE, RECLAIM, SUSTAIN. The first gift that Larry gave me (when he was 16 and I was 17) was a hundred year old Limoge locket bought on our first date at an antique store in Clinton, NJ. Old stuff and the joy of the hunt is in our family's DNA. Sometimes things have to be torn down to begin a new life. (I know, all sorts of spiritual connotations here.). Realizing that a barn structure is dangerous and can't be saved doesn't by any means ready it for the burn pile.

Wednesday, July 4, 2012. FLOYD, VA: WORLD RENOWNED "HIPPIE TOWN". So, this morning as I am facing a bit of writer's block, I cheated and googled Floyd, VA. And then just for giggles, I added the word "hippie" to the mix. Do you know that there were 1,400,000 google results? So for fun, I'll throw out a few of reasons that Floyd has been designated one of the friendliest places in the country to foster your inner hippie. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Own a bit of paradise.
