I will have my first company in the studio today as a couple, who are Kickstarter backers, come to the farm. I’ll tell you all about our day later!
In the jar: hydrangea, roses, lamb’s ear, rosemary. (Smells divine!

Morgan came home from school to me taking chocolate chip cookies out of the oven. BIG chocolate chip cookies. I didn’t really mean to make them that big, but what good is a little cookie anyway? The only good cookie is a big cookie.
I’m getting ready for two guests to the studio tomorrow. Today, I baked Cocount-Oatmeal Rum Pie (with Walnuts), Soft Ginger-Raisin Cookies, an apple pie, and chocolate chip cookies. I hope they’re big eaters!

I’m getting ready to cook for the first time in the studio! The studio isn’t quite finished yet, but this Thursday, my first Kickstarter backer will be visiting to spend the day at the farm and I will be cooking in the studio. Exciting!

Morgan rode Zip!
Yeah, yeah, there’s still a halter on her, too, but Morgan got a little flustered getting the bridle on and finally just left the halter on along with it. She took only a short ride in circles around the barn yard, but it was a giant step forward in regaining her confidence after being bucked off Patriot. Zip was calm and wonderful, … Continued…

As expected, today at 2:00, 12-15 people showed up in 4-5 vehicles. I took a bucket of feed to the cows ahead of time and led them off to the outer limits of the field.

Ross working on his big beautiful truck here last month while he was on leave:… Continued…
May 19, 2012 - Miracle Mowing
Yesterday, I was fretting over the ash-scattering ceremony that will be taking place in one of my pastures on Sunday. The grass is high, and I thought they needed a path. I have a push mower, but the location is quite afield from the house and my mower just left for WVU. I have no working weedeater at the moment. (Nor do I even know how to use one yet.) … Continued…
May 18, 2012 - Ashes to Grasses
Recently, I was contacted by a gentleman with an unusual request. One of the first female gas drillers in West Virginia drilled her first successful well on my farm. The well is known as Patton #1. A few months ago, this lady passed away. Apparently, she had requested to be cremated, but had not directed the eventual end of her remains. The family … Continued…
