I miss green. Lovely, lush, dig your toes in it, roll around in it, feast your eyes on it green. I want to be hot. I want the sun to shine so bright it hurts my eyes.
I miss green.
This (left) is the road in front of our farm. I adore the daisies.
This is our meadow in the green, green summer.

Isn’t it beautiful?
This (below) is the former “natural” condition of our driveway, the old logging road that once brought big trucks up the hill to haul trees. It was grown over like this when we bought the farm.

And this is one view of the new farmhouse site.

Here’s another view.

I was looking at this picture of the new farmhouse yesterday and I could barely remember how it once looked before there was a house here, so I was inspired to dig out these pictures.

Not only is it hard to imagine that this house site was once a lush flat halfway up a hill, it’s hard to imagine it without the bare-branched winter trees.
But soon….. Soon! It will be lush again. It will be green. Sooooo green.
I can hardly wait.

"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....

"First it's glowing, then it's snowing! A pause, then screaming squalls and williwaws. Bright but bitter, then a thaw. Yet again it's cold and storming: What ever happened to global warming?"
