kinders find magic in the japanese garden
seeing things change right before them.

‘change is a measure of time, and in the autumn, time seems speeded up.
what was, is not and never will be;
what is, is change.’
-edwin way teale
“bees do have a smell, you know,
and if they don’t they should,
for their feet are dusted with spices from a million flowers.”

summer 2018, ann arbor
‘neath bright blue sky
upon wide open fields of snow
with no end in sight
nothing to do
but to run and to play
on such
a fine
and lovely
winter’s day.

nature is an infinite sphere of which the center is everywhere
and the circumference nowhere.
– blaise pascal
It was a splendid summer morning and it seemed as if nothing could go wrong.

The Running of the Goats at Sunflower Farm
After a day of grazing with the herd, our 44 Goat Babies go for a little adventure while their maaaaaas take a break and enjoy some grain in the barn. They love to run back and forth following their human friends! They often beat us on the way back! There is not much cuter than the pitter pat of all those feet. (Rest assured…Our goat kids are sold to great families in pairs as pets or future milking goats.)
