Sunrise and Moonset
I can never seem to get my body adjusted to daylight savings times. With the end of it, I seem to be back in sync with my natural body rynthms. This morning I bounded out of bed with the alarm - something I couldn't do all summer. I looked outside and saw the full moon setting through the tree so I grabbed yesterday's pants, a warm hooded sweatshirt (refuse to start calling them hoodies) a hat, my Ughs and my camera and headed out to catch a few shots it. I turned around and saw the rosy light of dawn over the pond and snapped a few more shots. So here are my East meets West photos from this morning. For a view of the rising full moon in Kentucky with some love musings, I recommend: http://inthepantry.blogspot.com/2009/11/pushing-night-away-and-chasing-down.htmlay-and-chasing-down.html
I grew up on a small, diverse family farm in Iowa. At the time I wanted to be a cool city kid rather than a hick farm kid. But my life since has meant using and appreciating those sound lifestyle principles I grew up with - cooking from scratch, a garden as a significant source of my food, living simply and satisfyingly without a lot of stuff, doing it yourself from making and mending my clothes, to putting up my own food, working hard and being honest. I live on a "homestead" - WishSong Farm - of 40 acres of hilly, wooded and flood plain terrain with my husband, cats, dogs, rabbits and a goat. I am an herbalist, an aromatherapist, a gardener, a cook, a naturalist, a liberal conservative or conservative liberal, a thinker, doer and dreamer.
These look like paintings. Love.
