Pictures of anything but snow





I'm not as tired of snow as I usually am this time of year. It's been a much easier winter for me because I'm in better physical shape. This is primarily because I had regular "green gym" workouts last fall while building a barn with students at the college. Normally, after a fall of office work and teaching, I'm much unhappier with the way I feel.

It also helps that the big insulation plan for the house is almost complete and we are reaping the benefits in terms of reduced fuel consumption and a more pleasant and even distribution of heat around the place.

Still, I felt we could all do with some photos of something other than snow. Aimee is a good animal photographer, and has some interesting photos I've never put on this blog.

These are raided from her webpage:

  2. Thanks, Annie.

    Things are looking up here. It's at least 25 F out there right now, and sunny! Not so terrible, even if there is three feet of white stuff on the ground.

  4. I used to complain more about Maine's winter, but I've gotten used to it. Sort of the same way Americanisms like "gotten used to it" have crept into my everyday speech.

    My family used to think Sheffield had a hard winter. Now I realize that any place where carrots and Brussels sprouts can be left in the ground all winter isn't that cold!

Welcome to our Farm Blog.
The purpose of this blog is for Aimee and I to communicate with friends and family, with those of our students, and other folks in general who are interested in homesteading and farming activities.

The earliest posts, at the very end of the blog, tell the story of the Great Farm, our purchase of a fragment of that farm, the renovation of the homestead and its populating with people and animals. Go all the way to the last post in the archive and read backwards from there to get it in chronological order.

After getting tired of spam comments (up to a dozen or more per day), I required commentators to be Google "registered users". You can write me at mwomersley@unity.edu if you have a serious comment or question and are not a registered user.

Spammers -- don't bother writing -- there's no way I will post your spam to my blog. Just go away.
