About Me
- Elora
- Welcome to the country! Drive gently. Slow down. If someone's rudely chewing your bumper, find a wide spot and pull off that one-lane road you've been on for far too many miles. Leave the hurry to others. Invite them to go around. It's all about the journey, not the destination. It's time to explore the things you've always loved and renew your joy in just being alive. That's what I'm doing. My joy is a small farm, deep in the Appalachians. Its bounty provides self-sufficiency to two "seniors." Together, my husband, MM, and I, milk a cow, and grow, tend, and preserve a big garden annually. Fruit and nut trees and berries add to the cornucopia; toss in a few egg layers, three pigs, seven cows, and four canine helpers. It adds up to a joyful, sustainable life! We eat locally--as in right here on the farm!--healthfully and seasonally. We gather firewood in the summer to burn in the winter. Each day is a beautiful new adventure. My name is Elora and I'm so glad you stopped by for a visit! I hope you'll enjoy my photos and thoughts as I take you along with me on my daily journey about the farm, just off the one-lane road.
Hasn't it been fascinating watching this unfold?
ReplyDeleteVicki, Wasn't it?!!
ReplyDeleteI feel like I've been right there in the middle of it! I know we were all certain the world was going to see horrific bloodshed. I was almost afraid to look yesterday morning. After he had refused to step down the previous night, what could we expect? But when the announcement came that Mubarak had really resigned, we were delerious; I whooped and hollered and let the tears roll right here JOTOLR. It still chokes me up! AlJezeera had live streaming (and YES!!! High Speed Internet is unbelievably wonderful!)and we had it on from 8:00 a.m. until...
Fascinating and wonderful! Sure, they've got a lot on their plates right now. But they'll work their own problems. They don't need us telling them what they "must" and "must not" do. (Unfortunate choice of words by Obama four hours into the Egyptians' first day of freedom. He'll have to learn the hard way that neither he nor the Israelis are in charge any more and begin now to re-structure his tone and language.) Somehow, I thought it was noteworthy that they put messages out for folks to show up this morning with as many trash bags as they could muster, and clean up Tahrir Square. What a humble but practical way to begin!
