Many Moons

 

Calendar - Guide to Planting

Some of us consult the current calendar for the cycles of the moon before planting our seeds.

This beautiful calendar was published in 1617.

Article by John Kenny

... despite the distractions of the modern economy and commerce, many farmers can still be found walking their fields after dark, listening to the ripening of fruit in the full moonlight or the hidden scuffling of creatures among the coops in the emptiness of a new moon.

A Winter Project takes flight!

Maybe you have a list of things you would like to do but do not seem to make time for. 

That is certainly true here! One project was to do more drawing - which lead me to purchase a new sketch book  - and a set of drawing pens. There are few things as wonderful as a beautiful, blank page and a new drawing instrument. It can also be a bit intimadating but this was The Time to dive right in.

 

This is the first design submitted to Society6!

The last hours of Indian Summer

 

 

Once the growing season slows there are many tasks to complete before the cold weather sets in. We had a frost so it is officially Indian Summer. Today the task was to prepare for new fencing in the "Back Forty". The center of that garden has a cluster of raspberry bushes with horseradish around the edges. Annual rye grass has been planted to help improve the soil.

New Project

Time to start a new knitting project. 

The trees are shedding their leaves. There is a bit of a nip in the air.

This beautiful yarn labeled The Wool Shop, 100% Pure Shetland Wool, Made in Scotland has been waiting in a chest filled with yarn. Today was the day to release it from its confines and start using it to create a garment. Next comes the issue. There is no pattern associated with this particular yarn. What might be made from it? Stay tuned!
