For this trailer. I found myself moved just in hearing the bits and pieces that were offered, and I wonder how many people need to see this that never will.
Things are beginning to take shape at the new residence. I made a long-term statement by picking up asparagus crowns to plant, knowing they will not produce for at least two seasons. Once some interior adjustments are made on the house, I’ll be ready to head out and plant my late-but-worth-it garden, build the new compost container, and possibly put a rain barrel in place.
All in all, life is beginning to look more and more rooted. And it is good. Somewhere Wendell Berry is smiling (hopefully).

do you already own a rain barrel? I’m trying to figure out if I need to pay the big bucks for one, or if I can make one out of a trash can or something….
glad to hear you’re beginning to feel like this is home for you – - love to your family!!

I don’t know if you have seen the Unforeseen documentary – but it actually has Wendell Berry reading his own poetry in it, with Sigur Ros playing in the background.
do it, too.
