Good Quote

Monday, February 13th, 2006

“Someday there will come a reckoning and the country will discover that farmers are more necessary than traveling salesmen, that no nation can exist or have any solidity which ignores the land. But it will cost the country dear. There’ll be hell to pay before they find out.”

Sunday Ramblings

Sunday, February 12th, 2006

Cool day up here, sunny, but cool. Have to dress up fairly heavy when we’re out doing chores. Looks like winter, the snow is so bright with the sunshine that it can almost blind a person. We just have a few chores to go in an hour or so, near dark, and we can call [...]

Midwinter Dreaming
