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.
What a creative shot! Happy Solstice to you all -- barbara

ReplyDeleteThanks so very much for your comments! I do so appreciate your blog, too. Lately, with the kiddies at home because of school closing, the Internet has been very S-L-O-W...so it's been difficult for me to visit my usual "haunts" (websites) and read others' blogs, and then make comments.
I loved your blog on the Santa's Helper. I could almost hear one of those Antiques Road Show comments: "...do you have any idea how much it is worth??!!" and then a mental picture of you, fainting into a closeby chair, breathlessly realizing that you are now a millionaire! The carving was simply wonderful! and there was another blog post you did, and the subject escapes me right now, but I simply could not get on your lovely website to post a comment. I am told Frontier is still on track to provide our neck of the woods with high speed internet, come March-ish. So, things should improve!
Again, thanks much! Have a wonderful holiday season and I hope your son is there with you to share it!

Hooray! The nights are getting shorter. My tree is up - symbol of pagan something or other, the heating is on and I don't even care if I can't get into town.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo! Solstice blessings and a happy holiday season to you and MM.

Gorgeous photograph! When we lived in WI, I waited anxiously for the solstice. I then checked the weather channel every day to see how many more milliseconds of light we got that day.
ReplyDeleteHere in NC, I still welcome the idea of lengthening daylight but I'm not longer obsessed with it. We have more sunny days than not.
Wonderful shot!
