It’s sad that this is the reality.

Spent the first taste of springtime-type temps of 2026 in the greenhouse, both stewing over the latest fresh hell that is the news today, and embracing the tradition of spring cleaning in preparation of starting fresh new life 🌱 #localonly #zone7a #smallfarmlife #greenwitch

Hubs hooked me up with a custom snow remover for the hoop house (duck taped a push broom to an extension pole). Worked like a charm! 🌱 #localonly #smallfarmlife #gardensky #snowday #witchsky #greenwitch

There's something happening here What it is ain't exactly clear There's a man with a gun over there A-telling me I got to beware I think it's time we stop Children, what's that sound? Everybody look what's going down

ABOLISH ICE

All gardeners eventually become either scientists or witches.

Yes, a worship service is sacred. So is the image of God in your immigrant neighbor. So is the image of God being dragged from his home in his underwear on a snowy day. So was the image of God that bled out for 8 minutes while being refused medical care.

I am one of those folks who, in January, is in no rush for winter to end. I appreciate & embrace the cold & the dark, and let hibernation mode fully have me. Plus the snow is just so dang pretty. I'll be singing a different tune come March 1st, but for today, winter is a welcome friend.

Remember, it's only technically Orwellian if it's from the Orwell region of England, otherwise it's just sparkling authoritarianism

Mushroom spore landing in my lungs: I eat? My immune system: no not right now he’s still alive Mushroom spore: ok i wait

Strange men wearing masks shooting citizens is no basis for a system of government.

The horrors persist. But so do we. 🌱 #localonly #gardensky #greenwitch #herbalist #witchsky

happy national black cat day 🖤 #witchsky #catlady #nationalblackcatday

October raspberries just hit differently 💜 🌱 #gardeningfeed #zone7a #localonly #smallfarmlife #farmstead #yardfarm #gardener #greenwitch

Been a hot minute since I've shared a garden update here; our schedules have been maxed out & we've been riding that ragged edge of total burnout. Thankfully the cool crisp Autumn air has finally arrived, & we're staying busy with fall chores. & October is one of my absolute favorite things 🍁🍂

The wheel of the year is a-turnin' 🌱 #gardeningfeed #localonly #zone7a #gardensky #smallfarmlife #veggiegardening #raisedbedgardening #herbalist #greenwitch #lughnasadh #lammas #witchsky

The first herb bundles of the year 🌱 garden sage, lavender, thyme, chamomile, & echinacea. My living room smells fabulous 😊 #localonly #smallfarmlife #greenwitch #witchsky #herbalist #crafty

Hubs climbed up onto the roof of the chicken coop to get me this video; a glimpse of our raised veggie & herb beds from above 🌱💚 #localonly #zone7a #smallfarmlife #yardfarm #farmstead #gardening #veggiegardening #herbalist #greenwitch

Bountiful, albeit sweaty, harvest today out in the sauna that is summertime in July in SE PA. That's half of the first planting of carrots & the full bed of Purple Pehoski garlic. Hot fun in the summertime 🌱 #localonly #zone7a #smallfarmlife #farmstead #gardensky #harvest #sosweaty

Ah, July - the season of preserving our harvests. AKA: my cellar smells like dehydrating garlic scapes & cabbage farts. 🌱 #localonly #zone7a #smallfarmlife #gardening #fermenting #kraut #veggiegardening #goodstank #greenwitch #witchsky

The evil that men do lives after them

On today's episode of "harvest quick before the storms roll in", we've got Comfrey, pickling cukes, snap peas, zucchini, Echinacea & Chamomile 🌱 #localonly #gardensky #veggiegardening #harvest #smallfarmlife #herbalmedicine #greenwitch #witchsky

On this morning's chore list was black raspberry picking. Most made it to the farm stand, several were taste-tested for quality control, and others were accidentally smashed in the process. Worth it! 🌱 #localonly #smallfarmlife #farmstead #harvest #gardensky #greenwitch #witchsky

Every accusation is a confession

Pulled the first 5 humongo cabbages of the season today, then got right to work channeling my Polish ancestors & making the pure magick that is homemade sauerkraut. 11 jars of the goooood stuff, now fermenting happily in the cellar! 🌱 #localonly #smallfarmlife #farmstead #fermenting #witchsky

It's National Pollinator Week, friends 🐝 🦋 🐦 and we're spreading the love for these amazing allys by planting native flowers and singing to them (however off-key we may be) to let them know they're appreciated 💚🌱 #pollinators #localonly #smallfarmlife #witchsky #greenwitch #nature

I spent this cool, gray, & misty day outside in my gardens - I'd call it a 50/50 split between actual gardening & taking photos of my beauty-full babes 💚 🌱 #localonly #zone7a #smallfarmlife #yardfarm #gardensky #veggiegardening #farmstead #witchsky #herbalist

My day job is a fully remote position, and I am just such a huge fan of the WFH life. Getting to relocate to my patio to work and listen to the birds sing and chickens ba-gock, does wonders for my mood while cranking out reports. 🌱 #smallfarmlife #farmstead #yardfarm #dayjob #wfh #niceview

Some of the fabulous friends who share the yardfarm with us 💚 Seeing them (as well as the 'friends' who do more harm than good) is always a welcome reminder that we're all in this ecosystem together 🌱 #localonly #zone7a #gardening #smallfarmlife #farmstead #witchsky #ecosystem #landsteward

The problem we are facing in this nation is very simple: we've kept God out of public school. We placed garlic at every school window, sprinkled holy water on the threshold, when God tried to enter we held up a crucifix as he hissed at us oh wait that's not God that's a vampire

Just some snaps from around the property where we live that make me feel some sort of spritely way. It's just awesome outside 🌱 #localonly #zone7a #smallfarmlife #witchsky #nature #woodswalk #magical

We know nothing beyond science fiction about "terraforming" another planet. 🚀 OTOH we have knowledge spanning millennia, geographies, and diverse cultures about caring for our already-"terraformed" planet. 🌎 Look at the wonder around you, wherever you are, and think about how you can protect it. 🪷

ME AT 7:30: gonna be a good day today! I can feel it! Gonna ride this positivity wave all the way to the bank! Nothing but deep chest breaths and gratitude today! Yes, sir! Nothing but… ME AT 7:33 READING THE NEWS: this motherf…

The rain persists, but so do we 🌧 I'll take the liquid sunshine, as we're creeping ever closer to making up for last year's severe drought. Plus, i think there's something just quietly magical happening in the gardens amidst the droplets

Holy busy couple of weeks, y'all - we've been keeping our foot on the gas and just crankin' out the yardfarm chorin'. BUT (she says cautiously) I *think* we're moving to "normal summer garden maintenance phase" now. We even celebrated by just chillin' in the yard today 😎 Lots of pics to share soon🌱

Started this Milkweed from seed 2 years ago, and it is *finally* coming in strong this spring and OMG A VISITOR 😭🧡 🌱 #gardening #localonly #zone7a #nativeplants #smallfarmlife #monarch #milkweed #herbalist #witchsky

All the homies hate bradford pears

A lovely string of gray, rainy spring days, you say? Why, yes, I'll make the very most of it, thankyewverymuch 🌱 #nematodes #yardfarm #gardener #farmstead #localonly #zone7a #veggiegardening #herbalist #regenerative

Somehow, Trump has declared that we’re under numerous national emergencies from the Southern Border Emergency to the Energy Emergency, Trade Emergency, Public Lands Emergency, and Immigration Enforcement Emergency. Yet these crises seem so “urgent” that he finds time to golf every weekend. Odd.

Ooooh, wait, my favorite song is on

Springtime has its full & complete grasp on me; I'm basically breathing dirt and sunshine. Until these spring days give way to the oppressive 95-degree-with-humidity-sent-straight-from-the-depths-of-hell days of summer, you'll find me outside somewhere; just follow the smell of my dirt perfume 🌱

Spring Cleaning Mode™️ fully activated & full-tilt over here; but hot dayum if it isn't a bit like whack-a-mole trying to keep up with all the things 🌱 #localonly #zone7a #gardensky #gardening #smallfarmlife

You can tell who’s an “illegal alien” just by looking at them about as well as you can diagnose bovine leukosis by eyeballing a dairy cow. Which is why the idiots that guzzle raw milk from “healthy cows” are often the same idiots that support deporting toddlers who turn out to be U.S. citizens.

Hey there gardener & farmer friends, what podcasts are y'all listening to while working? I rotate between @poorprolesalmanac.bsky.social and Ghosted by @rozhernandez.bsky.social & am looking for more! Let me know what you like cos I wanna check it out! 🌱 #localonly #smallfarmlife #gardening
