Fantastic photo! I can never seem to get a good moon shot, time to dig out the tripod :-) Apparently this is the closest the moon has been for 18 years - our tide here this morning was huge. There is a prediction out (from Ken Ring) based on the moon, tide etc that there may be a big earthquake again prob over this weekend. A lot of people here have their cars packed and ready to flee. Kens website if you are interested is: http://www.predictweather.co.nz/. Meanwhile I'm just going to enjoy the glorious autumn weather as there's nothing I can do about it! Hope you have a lovely weekend too! Julia x

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.
