i have been considering starting this blog for some time and waiting until i have just the right purpose. i have thought about using this blog as a farm journal to keep track of our daily tasks and make it a useful tool for us to look back on during our planning. i also considered this an opportunity to share my photography and showcase pictures from our daily life on the farm. the blog could also be an opportunity to create an elmer farm community with stories, favorite recipes or book ideas. i like journaling, photography, farm life, being a mother and a wife, spending time with family, writing letters, reading, knitting, quilting and cooking. i have a knack for finding great finds at thrift stores and remembering people's birthdays. these are all of the joys i want to share with my friends, family and newcomers.
tomorrow is the nofa conference. this is the first time the event will be a two day affair. spencer is going tomorrow and i am going on sunday. it would be a wonderfully romantic weekend to spend two days together visiting with our farming friends, attending various workshops and talking about our newly inspired ideas. angus is just 1 year old and we haven't really started to leave him with a sitter all day. we will work on that. last year, i brought angus and he was just 6 weeks old. he just slelpt through the workshops snuggled in the sling. this year, i plan to attend workshops on beginner beekeeping, sweet potato production and perenial vegetables. i always have others lined up in case the room is just too packed or i am not really enjoying the topic. i always prefer to go to workshops that are given by farmers.
spencer is listening to our friends' band... bariki (a funky west african ensemble) at the monkey house tonight in winooski. i am exhausted and going to bed early. oh, i was excited that our farm business cards came in the mail today. they are just temporary cards until we figure out a farm logo. for now, we have MOO cards. they are half the size of regular business cards and i downloaded my photos to use on the backside of them. just in time for the conference this weekend.
i think i will end each blog with some sort of inspirational idea that i would like to implement on the farm. tonight i will say that i want to set up a huge chalkboard in the barn to help us stay more organized.
