Mountain Glen Farm Journal: August 2015
http://mountainglenfarm.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Mountain Glen Farm Journal. Early morning summer sunrise at Mountain Glen Farm. Thursday, August 20, 2015. Today my walk was stopped and delayed by 30 minutes while I came upon a very rare photo op of pileated woodpeckers on our farm. The sighting of a pileated woodpecker has been a rare occurrence for me over the years, mainly seen in flight through the woods, but today a wonderful pileated actually seemed to pose. The bird essentially alerted me to his presence by his distinct call. Then, a flicker fle...

Mountain Glen Farm Journal: February 2015
http://mountainglenfarm.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Mountain Glen Farm Journal. Early morning summer sunrise at Mountain Glen Farm. Tuesday, February 17, 2015. Spring's Arrival.Not Yet. A few days ago, on my walk, I came upon an amazing bold and bright yellow feather lying on the ground. I looked around and saw another feather, and another and then several more. There was no indication of foul play, no annihilated body remnants…just a scattered bunch of gorgeous feathers. I gathered all the feathers to take home with me. I had hoped to sneak up for closer...

Mountain Glen Farm Journal: June 2015
http://mountainglenfarm.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Mountain Glen Farm Journal. Early morning summer sunrise at Mountain Glen Farm. Friday, June 26, 2015. There is just a hint of light in the sky. I can distinguish the tree line as an undulating darkness, but I cannot define individual trees. The birds are beginning their morning ritual…morning music. At first, I hear a solitary bird. Soon, another bird joins in with different notes. Shortly, I can no longer differentiate the number of participants. The song transitions into a subtle symphony. 2015 Friend...

Mountain Glen Farm Journal: Cranberry Glades, West Virginia
http://mountainglenfarm.blogspot.com/2015/07/cranberry-glades-west-virginia.html
Mountain Glen Farm Journal. Early morning summer sunrise at Mountain Glen Farm. Sunday, July 12, 2015. Cranberry Glades, West Virginia. Yesterday, Glenn and I procrastinated about leaving on our planned day trip, via motorcycle, to West Virginia. The weather forecast had changed overnight from cool and clear to scattered showers. Should we or shouldn’t we go? The day had been scheduled. The farm chores were done. The Dramamine downed by me, of course. I opted to take the chance. I was having a great time...

Mountain Glen Farm Journal: October 2014
http://mountainglenfarm.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Mountain Glen Farm Journal. Early morning summer sunrise at Mountain Glen Farm. Saturday, October 25, 2014. My Ginkgo biloba tree is one fabulous burst of sunshine in my fall yard. The fan-shaped leaves look like pure gold. My day is wealthier from the visual alone! A small contribution toward enriching my simple life. Friday, October 24, 2014. An awesome autumn sky adorned with amazing autumn color. Tuesday, October 21, 2014. Purple Finch (female) hanging out on the cattails at the farm pond. First, I s...

Mountain Glen Farm Journal: Let The Harvesting Begin
http://mountainglenfarm.blogspot.com/2015/08/let-harvesting-begin.html
Mountain Glen Farm Journal. Early morning summer sunrise at Mountain Glen Farm. Thursday, August 13, 2015. Let The Harvesting Begin. Yesterday was tomato canning day…wrong. Just as I got myself in tomato mode (I really have to be in the right frame of mind to tackle this job), Glenn announced that the sweet corn was ready. Tomatoes can wait, corn cannot. When corn is ready, a minute’s delay is too long. Corn just keeps maturing past ‘perfect’. Each packet is good for about two meals. Canning jars and lid...

Mountain Glen Farm Journal: May 2015
http://mountainglenfarm.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Mountain Glen Farm Journal. Early morning summer sunrise at Mountain Glen Farm. Wednesday, May 27, 2015. Last evening we had a welcomed thunderstorm. My gardens are happy…for the moment. In addition, I had the pleasure to discover several different animal tracks, their impressions in the soft earth, on this morning’s walk. I first came upon turkey tracks - a first ever for me. I hear a lot of turkey and, on occasion, I see a lot of turkey, but I had never come upon turkey tracks before today. So, we load...

Mountain Glen Farm Journal: January 2015
http://mountainglenfarm.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Mountain Glen Farm Journal. Early morning summer sunrise at Mountain Glen Farm. Tuesday, January 20, 2015. Quite frankly, I do not like the month of January. It is usually too cold for much outside time, I cut back if not stop my daily walks altogether, and I start feeling the aches and pains of my winter sedentary life - ugh! I just could not endure staying inside one moment longer. I put on my hooded sweatshirt, my. What was I going to wear on my feet? I just hoped they would not hurt my feet. I was go...

Mountain Glen Farm Journal: Great Day To Fabulous Day In Minutes
http://mountainglenfarm.blogspot.com/2015/08/great-day-to-fabulous-day-in-minutes.html
Mountain Glen Farm Journal. Early morning summer sunrise at Mountain Glen Farm. Monday, August 10, 2015. Great Day To Fabulous Day In Minutes. Today was one of those days that went from great to fabulous in less than sixty minutes. Quilt frankly, I have many of these kinds of days at Mountain Glen Farm and each one is noteworthy enough to share. Before heading out of the house this morning to take my walk, I noticed a hummingbird flitting about the back deck. Yep, I need to adjust my perfect morning attr...
