from the farm: detail








Where photo opportunities abound. Chickens lay eggs in the hay stack, strawberries are picked from a nearby farm and lemons fall to the ground from an abundant citrus tree. The cherry tomatoes were the sweetest and the fresh water creek at the bottom of the property provided so very many stone-throwing, frog hunting, billy tea making adventures. Ramshackle sheds are truly chic and barbed wire is beautiful. Farm life is sweet. And inspiring.

  1. Beautiful photos.
    I envy you so much for living close to the ocean. I sometimes feel my most inspired when I'm there. But nothing beats primitive, simple life on a farm. Michael and I have looked at prices for purchasing land since the day we got married. Ultimately I think we'll relocate to a city out of state that will be too expensive to own land, but I'll always dream about it.

    I think you should make the move :) I bet your writing career would explode on such an inspiring farm.
