THIS & THAT.
Some random photos from the past week.

The lovely walk to the animals.
The best chore ever.
The multiflora rose are blooming!

POSSIBILITY.
Beyond the cabin stuff (updates coming soon!), Hannah and I have these wonderful moments of bewilderment staring out at our new acreage wondering how we're going to start cutting in and then what we're going to do with it once it's tamed. It's our marble slab, our blank canvas, the first sentence to our (latest) book, but what in the world will it turn into?The farm is a place of unending possibility, where our options for what we can do are as overwhelming as they are infinite, but that's what makes farming exciting. Over the next year we'll be opening up pasture, clearing some garden space and, of course, building a home. But we'll also be deciding which of the thousands of ideas we have for our farm are going to meet fruition, and what kind of farmers we're going to become. Farming is a strange––and strangely physical––brand of art, but something Hannah and I love and look forward to seeing where it takes us and our new land.- Jesse.
