Autumn Beauty...

All along the forest floor
a million songs are sung...




















                Every shadow contains a hint   
of treasures beyond compare

In a world paved hard and regular,

I was born to walk well-leafed hills

“I am a fugitive and a vagabond, a sojourner seeking signs.”

~Annie Dillard

I never got around to posting the Apple Cider Festival poster for this year. It contains a huge bit of news...

So, welcome to Graceroots Farm, y'all. May the roots of grace grow deep, indeed, and much love and joy be grown there.

Happy Earth Day

I took a stick
and wrote a story
upon a softly rolling creek

Then laughed and laughed and laughed
like a woodpecker in love

It was a comedy.

The Green of February Moss

The green of February moss
is especially bold
full of subtle reminders
of November gold
