Bedlam Farm

If you can, please check out the Cambridge Food Pantry through Sunday.

_____ My assissted, it was a beautiful day that started cold and ended warm.

It’s a joy to look out of the kitchen window while I’m washing the dishes and see Luly and Fanny sitting quietly out beneath the apple tree.

We generally try to save the bones of our dead sheep; they are beautiful in their own way and a way to remember sheep like Biddy, who died on the farm and were taken into the woods to feed animals that need them.

The research on chronic hostility is fairly consistent.

Linda: “I think it would be wonderful for you and Maria to merge your blogs.

An apology: When things got more chaotic, I forgot to encourage the Army of Good people to post the notes you were sending to support the Pantry volunteers for what Sarah calls her “nice notes from nice people.”

Aging is a learning process for me, an open door I want to walk through.

It was just too whild outside, howling winds, leaves blowing around, high winds, drenching downpours.

The post Video: In Nature, Even Storms Are Beautiful.

______ I’ve written before about the big men in trucks who make it possible for farms like ours to function: the man who picks up the fallen limbs on trees, who makes the septic work, who cuts and brings firewood for the winter, and today, David Weeks, a…

I’m happy to support this Thanksgiving Takeaway.

I’ve noticed for awhile that when flowers die, most are as beautiful as when they were alive.

My new hat came in the mail the other day, a friend from Canada suggested it to me.

Maria and I have learned a great deal from one another, but lately, she is teaching me a lot more than I’m teaching her.

Sue’s class has become a national wonder; donations, art supplies, discarded clothes and jewels, and ideas come in from all over the country.

This morning marks the start of the most challenging year yet for the Annual Thanksgiving Cambridge Giveaway, more important than ever for families struggling with the rising price of everthing.

The only way to explain or blame what has happened to our country without going mad is to do what our ancestors did and fight off the Devil.

Over the past few years, I’ve become increasingly attached to wildflowers.

Zip knows how to take a picture.

I can’t thank you enough for supporting the Cambridge Food Pantry.

I was excited last night and this morning about the bravery shown by Jack Smith, the prosecutor, who was insulted and attacked by U.S.

I’ve been working on the idea that the Devil has shown up to wreck our democracy and get us to turn against one another.

When “B” first came, he was a bit shy and uncertain.

Today, Sarah is looking again – same requests as yesterday – for what we call “essentials”: food that is necessary for people to feed their families, no matter how small or sudden their living quarters are.

I’m not religious or superstitious, but a pastor wrote me and told me we are in the grip of a devil.

_______ We had the tail end of a Nor’easter this morning, and I once again got to see how beautiful storms can be in the country.

Flowers and nature feel more needed than ever, at least to me.

It’s ironic, among other things.

You can follow Maria’s work and blog at fullmoonfiberart.com.

We missed the worst of the Nor’easter today a lot of rain and wind but no damage.

This is the most personal post I have written in the many years I’ve kept this blog.

Jesus Christ: “Since ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me: (Mathew 25:40). _______ I’m not especially or conventionally religious, but I have always been inspired and guided by the teachings and life of Jesus…

A well-known Rutgers study found that receiving flowers reliably produced genuine smiles and a better mood that lasted for days.

Some older adults find the physical loss of aging the most significant part of the process.

Weekend Kindness for the Cambridge Pantry, hopefully for me and perhaps for the Army of Good.

________ Maria posted two Zip photos and asked people which one they thought would make a better magnet.

I’m having a lot of fun taking small flowers and blowing them up a bit.

Maria and I try to take a break from work on beautiful afternoons.

The morning.

Today’s most urgent item: Chef Boyardee Spaghetti and Meatballs, Pack of 4, $4.29.

Maria and I both woke up early this morning, and it was cold in the farmhouse.

People in America without regular paychecks often call themselves creatives.

I mentioned my muse a few times when I reclaimed her on the way to the dump.

Thanks for helping Sue Silverstein and her young artists.

Today’s meditation for me was about Rejection.

Indeed, the American Century is over, as long predicted.

Bargain foods today, thanks, Sarah.

In a tense and brightened country, the Billionnaires charge.

This morning offered my favorite photographer’s light and my Pastorals start and and with Maria’s meditation and the sun’s morning dance.
