Tuesday: Question all Happenings

When we first moved to our home in ruralish Maine, a lot of folks asked why — we didn’t seem like we were the homesteading type.

Draw crosses over their mouths.There’s a fire in the Laurentian Library.Breathe bread and soil and rain, choke your children with the brand of oars.Continue reading “A Muse for Monday”
