Berry picking
My soul delights in rural farming. Harvesting. The pleasure of living off the land.

We’re an hour outside of Roswell, NM at a lavender and raspberry farm, Lavender Spring Ranch. We couldn’t pass up the $4 a pound deal for raspberries, and the dream of what it would be like to live on such a farm.
Today
Today outside my window…it is perfect autumn weather. Sunny, with a mild chill in the air. The messenger of cooler temps to come.
I am thinking about…Jack and hoping he is alright. He went camping with his daddy last night, and has a mild cold. I am also thinking about how nice my free time has been.
I am thankful for…a good nights sleep all the way to 9:00 am.
From the kitchen…quietness. Nothing needs to be cooked. Nothing needs to be cleaned.
I am wearing…the usual, cut off sweats and a T-shirt.
I am reading…”Opening the Heavens“. It inspires me to be more like my dad.
I am looking forward to…a trip to Utah to celebrate harvest and Halloween with my family. Our collective favorite time of year.
I am hearing…the soft singing of my wind chimes.
A few plans for the rest of the week…To visit a farm orchard to pick apples. Mail client print order. To visit our storage shed to find my harvest decorations. Prepare my lesson for Sunday.
I need to remember…to Take photographs. For yourself. Be photographed.
To pray for our birth mom, and for the health of our baby.
A picture to share…
I think I shall always deliver my posts to this mailbox. OOOOOO! This will be where Jack can have a picture taken in his Chewbacca costume.

My 15 years experience with Roswell, is that it never rains, hardly rains. But somehow once in a while it rains quite a bit, and that so happens to be the year we moved in.
A companion piece {Etsy}
very little is needed to make a happy life;
it is all within yourself…
in your way of thinking.

I’m filled with much gratitude that I found the Etsy site in February 2007. What a fulfilling place to throw my ideas and see that others enjoy them too.
So the latest addition, I’ve worked on a companion piece to one of my best selling photos on Etsy. I think it does well because it’s yellow, and it’s yellow because a yellow truck was in the far distance of this blossom. A fun coincidence that I didn’t’ plan, but I’ve loved the outcome.
As a whole, I’m rounding close to my 300th sale! Pretty good for a gal didn’t major in Photography or Business.
