Things are Good

I made some homemade Daal and Naan.  We thinned the beets yesterday.  When you direct seed beets they grow in clumps.  If you don't thin them (pulling some from the ground) then they won't have room to grow large.  So we sacrifice some baby beets and enjoy them in a salad or cooked.

Crook and Jem.

A lovely part of each day.

Some of the handmade business cards I have been making.  I am trying to make at least one a day so that I will have a bunch when I am done here.

Some of my favorites.

Bookbinding and Asparagus

I learned to bookbind yesterday at The Cocoonery, an art studio and community art space in Reedsburg, Wisconsin, run by artist, Katie Schofield.  I also created some more hand made business cards this week and some paper grass.

I have turned this old book about flowers titled, Bulbs for Beauty into a Wormfarm Cookbook where I will write in all the recipes I make while I am here.

Asparagus and sunny side up eggs for dinner.

Goodnight Moooooooon!

Honey Amongst the Lilacs

I woke up this morning to a chicken staring at me through my window.  A lovely way to rise!

Honey amongst the lilacs...she is a darling.

Crabapple blossoms!

I am starting sketches for a large book I will make out of fabric.  It will be about me and the chickens.  This will be the first page!

While I am here at Wormfarm, I have MANY goals.  But one of them is to create one handmade business card a day.
