A TOUGH, NECESSARY TASK THIS FALL

Rosabelle, our turkey hen

Birdland is suddenly chilly. Could October be here after all? Leaden clouds hang low in the sky. I’m sitting on the porch watching the wind.

May I help you?

Are you looking at ME?

Ready to tangle!

Birdland Reading Room

The Best of Stillmeadow by Gladys Taber Recommended by Loralea. Stillmeadow is a farm in Connecticut, where writer, Gladys Taber lived until her death in 1980. She wrote about the seasons, the challenges and joys of a country home. She raised Cocker Spaniels and wrote about Stillmeadow beginning in the forties. I feel like Birdland and Stillwater are connected by a thread of similar concerns. Her books are out of print, but I got this one from the library.
The Seasons on Henry's Farm Recommended by our Friend, Susan. This book chronicals a year on an organic diversified farm in Illinois. Lovely and Peaceful (without romanticizing the work invovled).
