Or as I have learned the hard way many times, be careful what you wish for. #dailyreminders

Two days too late. I should’ve sent this one. #tradecraft

Where are my wild geese when I need them? I guess I’ll have to settle for the cold stones bearing witness to time as it passes here on the farm until the return of the geese. FU groundhog. #meditationpoint

I don’t care how cold it is, I am going to crawl up on the hay wagon, and watch the moonrise #imbolc #snowmoon

Despite the brutal cold for chore time, there’s an eternal beauty about the farm in winter #farming #winter

Tell me you don’t know anything about agriculture without telling me you know nothing about agriculture. I’m sure there are going to be a lot of pet chickens in bathtubs for the next few days, but for the people who actually raise your food we know healthy livestock will do fine outside. #Farming

She called in, just like the email lady. #wedidnotlisten

Spot on! #listenuppeople

You know it’s cold outside when even the Pyrenees wants to come inside and nap in the sun puddle #winter

Do you think she’s ever going to grow into those feet? #kittens

Textiles, tea, reading, & project planning #teatime

it's impossible for George Saunders not to be profound. Great. moving interview [gift link] www.nytimes.com/2026/01/10/m...

I figured for Distaff Day I would break out the spinning wheel. #backtowork

A beautiful morning for doing chores. #FarmLife

I haven’t worked in the oil patch for over 25 years and yesterday a headhunter called offering me a chance to ride the next wave. #nope

This one always seems to come up in rotation after a particularly nasty spate of letdowns. #moveon

There’s a bad moon on the rise 🎶 #fullmoom #wolfmoon

Happy New Year! #iykyk

One of the white shitheads decided to play with the neighbors’ fox trap. #workingdogs #idiot

Archaeology, anthropology, and weaving. How could I pass this up? #weaving

“Meanwhile the world goes on. Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain are moving across the landscapes,” #dailymantra .

Happiness is rolling in fresh shit. #greatpyrenees #dogs

My Christmas present from the Universe. This brilliant purple wool yarn came out of a rotting pumpkin stuffed with poke berries back in mid November. Anyone who knows me will recognize this color. I’m going to plant big pumpkins next year for certain. #naturaldye #weaving #purple

One of the best gifts I have ever received as a farmer who raises meat #ChristmasDinner

One of my all-time favorite Christmas songs.

Great day for a hike. Too much sitting and driving lately. Needed to blow the carbon out of my injectors. #natureclub

When I had a farm with lots of road frontage and bordering residential neighbors, every year someone would call animal control because the Pyrenees were left outside in the cold. Now they can roll around on the ice in peace. #greatpyrenees #livestockguardiandogs #dogs

I hate to get up and disturb them. #gingers

Morning mugging #dogs #greatpyrenees #workingdogs

I tried. I tried so hard to once tell this to someone who was obviously hurting. Instead I got put on a shelf. #dailywisdom

I was not going to let the regrets persist so I took a risk. When things don’t turn out as hoped, it’s a sign. #LetGo #MoveOn #TryAgain #DailyWisdom

Show me those murder mittens #gingerkitten

The daily commute. #farming

The first snow day of the season around the farm. This is Blizzard’s first winter and she is loving the white stuff. #farming #snowday

Ginger kitten is living her best life #cats

Scouring wool for natural dyeing. This year’s colors will be black walnut, goldenrod, and lobster mushrooms— essentially browns, yellows, and lavender. #weaving

Besties. Cubie & Jack #cats #buddies

When you shop with local producers, you are going to be paying $18 a pound for coffee, $25 a bottle for wine, $10 a pound for ground beef, eight dollars a dozen for eggs, and $10 a pound for butter. That’s the current cost of production and prices have not gone up.

Oh no, not Todd Snider. You left us High, Lonesome, and then Some.

Just remember, while she is busy with all this filming and advertisements, she is not doing her job. Not only do we have to pay for it, we have to suffer because of it.

My governor. #truthtopower

I know it wouldn’t take long for Jack to cozy up to his fellow ginger. #newkidontheblock #cats #kittens #gingers

Finally, somebody has the courage to stand up and say it. #wethepeople

Great interview #mamdani #zeteo

The colors of the farm’s fields and woodlot are changing to remind me the season of dormancy is almost here. #fall #autumn #cloudporn #ColorfulLeaves #NorthMountain #CumberlandValley #farming

This morning‘s meditation was on my failures, both in the past and the most recent. Sometimes it takes years for me to realize that they were the best thing that ever happened to me. #dailywisdom #meditationpoint

My once a year treat. #friedgreentomatoes
