A few people noticed that we were not posting regularly the first few months of this year and, of course, they were correct. The creative and farm parts of me were either tired or engaged elsewhere for a time. Now, as the weather changes and the farm beckons, I find myself wanting or needing to return to posting here. As part of the process, I took a moment to try and look at the blogs other, similar farms have maintained that I occasionally read. And, I found a sad trend. Of the fifteen that I have followed on and off for the past six or so years, only two on this list had any postings for this year. Most of the fifteen have been inactive for over a year. Some of these farmers have moved on to other things in their life. Others, have moved away from blogging, while they continue to farm.
