| Happy Thanksgiving from the Art Farm |
Thank You for being the best community of ever!
Your faith in us, your financial support through subscriptions, your heartfelt feedback have all made for a most blessed year on our little farm. The earth is sleeping right now and spring seems like a long way off. We'll let the land rest and dream for a while. Through the long nights we will remember everything that grew and then fell into the harvest basket this year.
Hope to see you in in 2015. It looks like we have seven members signed up already for next season. I'll be sending more info out in January regarding the garden, subscription rates, new offerings and visions for our humble CSA. Until then, please know you are appreciated. Thanks.
Here's a poem about our first freeze of the year.
Frozen Thinking
The hard frost finally
falls upon the land,
killing the bugs
that swamped the farm.
It’s a frosty hallelujah,
at a price.
The frog,
the praying mantis,
the spider,
how did they fare?
The frost cracks open
the builders
as well as the destroyers.
Good bug,
bad bug,
who is who?
How do I protect the heart
from frozen thinking and
fearful meanderings?
Suppressing one emotion
suppresses all emotions.
It’s not the heart
in the cold ground
that needs rearranging,
it’s the discerning
sky of the mind.
Blessing to You this Season,
Rick and Heather
