May peace prevail.

We're coming on Christmas. It is a mere two weeks away. As I prepare for Christmas, I have been looking for peace. Peace without, and peace within. There is really no peace to be found in the world we live in. Peace may be found only in the heart of humanity. That is where I am looking for it, and that is where I am finding it. When I find peace, wherever I find it, I also find grace. We need more grace in this modern time. Peace and Grace.

Pumpkins are coming on in a big way!

Last week I was in northern California. It was the week the leaves turned in a big way, and the pumpkin vines bit the dust, just inviting me to snip their stems as soon as I returned to NM. I harvested the pumpkins today - and we now have many pumpkins gracing doorways and fence posts at Little Bird Farm. They are so pretty in their various shapes and colors! I will turn my attentions to raking leaves, tossing some of them on the compost heap, and the remaining leaves into a big pile. And I will double dig the garden to plant cover crops and a few fall veggies that will grow through the winter for us. This is an invigorating time of year!
