The beginning

Posted on March 2, 2012 by Julia at Home on 129 Acres

We bought a farm. After two months of waiting, a year and a half of looking and at least half my life dreaming, it’s ours.

This is the start of something.

Life on #129acres

Once upon a time, some people thought the earth was flat. Once some people thought if you believed differently from them you were wrong. You shouldn’t learn about things that are different. You should be quiet.

One day, my father, he told me

Every day at the farm is full of special, simple moments. I do not take this life for granted. Especially when the world feels like such a heavy place. I see extremists with power imposing their vision on society–regardless of the beliefs citizens hold. People who hold power are using old and extremely narrow thinking to make decisions for today.

Making hay while the sun shines. This day is a high point always. I’m so grateful to live here and share these experiences with our girl. It never gets old. Thanks @chriscross4653 and team.

Last week I read Pastoral Song by James Rebanks @herdyshepherd1. So much of what he wrote connected with me. But this passage hit hard, and I want to share it here on Earth Day.

In the future when I talk to Ellie about feeling the onset of climate change, I think I will start with the winds. The winds are so strong and fierce. I feel like the winds are harbingers of more harshness to come.
