The cat on the lawn lives here. They grow corn. And hay. Plus some veggies. It’s a lovely place.
The corn is still green in July.
Corn grows in the fields in late summer.
Just around the block. The chickens used to roam free, but I think the coyotes were beginning to take a toll. The wild turkeys live here too, roaming around, but knowing they’ll get fed.

The Blackstone Valley has always been a farming community. Although it was the birthplace of the American Industrial Revolution, the farms have always been here too. People, after all, need to eat and where the ground is fertile and apple orchards thrive, families will farm.
Summer has come, right on time. It usually shows up just around Memorial Day and that will be here this weekend. The cows are serene. The chickens and horses are content and peaceful. The corn is coming up green and it looks like a good crop is on the way. Soon we’ll have fresh local produce and our air will be full of the scent of things growing from the earth.
