“Tell me…do I look different?”

Yesterday we had a significant weather event - lots of wind and rain. Too bad it wasn’t colder or it woulda been all snow! In any event, this tree in our front yard didn’t make it :(.

In fact, this tree was dead when we moved in almost a year ago. When I cut up another downed tree (its root system deteriorated and it fell over in one piece) and realized how much work it was, I decided to leave this one alone. It would capitulate in its own time. Which, as it turned out, was yesterday.

Trees are big and heavy and strong. Even dead ones. The force required to split this tree in half must have been tremendous, even if it WAS dead. This got me thinking about the whole idea of the farm in the first place. Will it work? Will anything grow? Can we keep livestock alive? Can we bring our products to market? IS THERE even a market for us? And on and on…

We have faith. We’re serious about this, we’re resolute that we can work together as a family towards our goals, and we’re confident that with a persistent and clear message, the market will be there.
