Sunshine sparkling on water.
The curve of the prairie.
The splendor of the sea.
The Golden Hour, before the Earth rolls up and the sun disappears.
The Colorful Hour, right after -
and right before the sun rolls over and the sun appears again.
Birds and their song.
Snow.
Rain.
The sky,
day
and night.
Sunshine.
Stillness.
The breeze,
soft and warm,
cold.
Dogs and cats.
Alpaca.
All the animals.
Family,
present
and not.
Friends,
old
and new.
Ah well&#8230;everything: Life [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=turtlerockfarm.wordpress.com&blog=3654824&post=2854&subd=turtlerockfarm&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

our glorious winter friends,
seem to exalt in the sunny, cold, windy weather today.
Great flocks,
flying in ocean-like waves
up to the cedars
where they settle;
then,
in a great whoosh,
they fly up to the sky,
their black wings edged in glittering gold
against the sun.
They make a flight around the house,

In his book Anam Cara,
the late John O&#8217;Donohue
quotes a friend who is aware of the spiritual value
of our sense of taste,
who prepares meals and invites friends
to share them in a mindful way.
She says, &#8220;food is love.&#8221;
I can believe this&#8230;
as we gather with friends, new and old,
so often at table
around food that is grown naturally

Beaver Dam on Kirby Place
with wetland above it

Went down to sit by the beaver dam on the Kirby Place.
We&#8217;ve been having rains regularly of late
and so the creek waters rush and vanish,
as they do on the prairie.
They usually have at least some water in them,
in places,
then flood
and often go dry.
Over the years, the conservation people

It seems the project-building goes easiest
when we don&#8217;t plan.
Yes, we wanted to make a winter pen at the barn for the chickens,
but we hadn&#8217;t really set a date to begin.
Ann had bought a roll of hardware cloth
and a gate
and then we went down to the barn
just to &#8220;get an idea&#8221; of what to do next.
Well, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=turtlerockfarm.wordpress.com&blog=3654824&post=2801&subd=turtlerockfarm&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

There are signs
that we will have winter.
I&#8217;ve been wondering.
It&#8217;s been very warm
and we hadn&#8217;t had our first frost.
Some grasses are still green.
Kye, the Husky/Malamute has been shedding
his winter coat
as if it&#8217;s spring.
The Persimmon seed had predicted snow,
so I was hopeful.
Then, just days ago, there came the first frost,
and this morning again

Winter arrived today.
Very cold,
especially considering warm temperature
up until
just now.
And wind,
bringing it closer
to the bone.
The last green tomatoes -
a bucketful -
were brought in.
The hens had already slowed down
their egg-laying.
Pacas already had their winter fleece.
They sit in the open pasture,
comfortably.
We are coming in -
to ancient rituals
that feed our souls
in new ways;
to a fire in the fireplace,
sitting too [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=turtlerockfarm.wordpress.com&blog=3654824&post=2788&subd=turtlerockfarm&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

We give ourselves to silent communion with our [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=turtlerockfarm.wordpress.com&blog=3654824&post=2776&subd=turtlerockfarm&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
