CYCLES OF LIFE
THE SAVING GRACE OF CYCLES IN OUR LIVES.
Here Ulysses awaits his daily greeting. And beyond stand ewes and lambs, whose bottoms are clean and bellies full, due to constant and controlled movement. The flock only returns to the same spot in 90 days or more, thus outlasting fledgling parasites. The careful discipline of daily feeding and long rotation of pastures is critical to generating supportive cycles that produce clean food.
This bowed milkweed plant shares fall glory with chicory, golden rod, and iron weed, as it does every fall.
Cornstalks on a windmill and gourds on display at the local Mennonite market. Pumpkins heading to produce auction, as they always do at this time of year.
Sweet lamb loin chops and derby pie; and slow-cooked lamb shoulder with almonds and olives - one of our favorites for cooler months.
May the cycles of life be nurturing.
