Bet The Farm

03/20/2026

My walk today afforded me the vantage point of Craft’s Hill, I noticed the farm is looking better this year as a result of lots of work cleaning up vines, multiflora rose and feral scrubs. Now I wonder, how I’ll keep it that clean…

Cold night, clear sky. The Wolf Moon and a field of stars make the farm feel especially beautiful.

The Weekend Entomologist
We had an “entomologist” visit Bet the Farm this weekend. Charles, accompanied by his loyal assistant, Grace the Scottish Deerhound, came to the rescue of our elderly next-door neighbor, bravely removing a nest of paper wasps from her electric meter.

True to form, he managed to look like a gentleman even in his overalls, because some people are just naturally sharp-dressed, no matter the occasion. His reward? A well-deserved homemade farmhouse breakfast, shared with his four-legged apprentice.

Rock yoga, Level 2: complete. 🧘‍♀️💪
Next up: the gravel lot behind the barn and the ever-romantic creek rocks.
I’ve tried every homespun w**d killer Pinterest ever dreamed up, vinegar, salt, potions from the moon, but the w**ds just laugh.
Got a magic trick? Or should I just embrace the wilderness and call it a pollinator garden? 🌿🐝
