Spring green and apple blossoms. These trees have been on the property for over 30 years. The prior owners neglected them. 2 years ago, I hired an arborist to teach me about tree pruning and to see about resurrecting these trees. He pruned them back severely – 1/3 to 1/2 of the existing tree. 2 years later, they have gifted me with sweet white flowers. The apples are mediocre. Good for cider or adding to applesauce, but the trees give me their beauty and that is enough. #StarFieldFarm

Adventures in post storm cleanup. In addition to the tree that tangled into the powerlines in the front drive, we also found a massive pine that broke and luckily just missed the storage barn. You can see how violent the storm was in the view of the splintered wood on the bottom right #StarFieldFarm

A brief moment of sun through clouds made everything look etched in gold. #nofilter #StarFieldFarm

I’ve been sharing my bagel experiments with our Hardwick neighbors. Tonight they delivered us these pizzas they made. And they even had pizza boxes! #StarFieldFarm

Our land at #StarFieldFarm is bordered by several farms. We may have had some bovine visitors recently. I would have sworn I’d heard (herd?) mooing a few days ago.
