About Me

farmlady: I'm a woman, wife, mother and grandmother who lives on 42 acres in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains and I find great pleasure living in a small home at the end of a dirt road.

Jesse's Song Iris

“Dead my old fine hopes
And dry my dreaming but still...
Iris, blue each spring”
― Shushiki, Japanese Haiku:

The Road Home

Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow.

The Snow Man

One must have a mind of winter
To regard the frost and the boughs
Of the pine trees crusted with snow....

Sharon Lovejoy's Grimy Hands Girl's Club

"The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep."

~Robert Frost~

and the storms their energy,
while cares will drop away from you
like the leaves of Autumn." ~john muir~

Sweet Puppy remembered

A poem for a puppy

You can't buy loyalty, they say,
I bought it though, the other day;
You can't buy friendship, tried and true,
Well, just the same, I bought that too.

I made my bid, and on the spot
Bought love and faith and a whole job lot
Of happiness,so all in all
The purchase price was pretty small.

I bought a single, trusting heart,
That gave devotion from the start.
If you think these things are not for sale,
Buy a gold-eyed puppy with a stump for a tail.
