Good Morning Friends & Folk ~
Happy Tuesday to us all!
Happy Tuesday to us all!
October is my favorite month....
~ but October came too quickly for me this year, and is zooming away!
our Halloween Open House & Stitch In was wonderful,
thanks to those who came, shopped and helped us!
but I need to slow down a bit now {before December's open house & stitch-in}
and at least try to relax a bit.
I'm stressed.
we are all stressed.
I'm trying to make time again to walk with my beloved in the woods and field,
and hunt for turkey feathers and mushrooms.
I want to bake again, ~ something wholesome and good...
I've been without an oven for quite a few weeks,
{due to wrong mechanical parts coming in, that were ordered incorrectly
for a brand new stove we purchased only months ago.}

Our Shop here at the farm will be CLOSED this coming Saturday October 12th.
I have to travel this week back up to CT to visit my mom in hospice,
a trip that I dread, but will eternally regret if I fail to have the strength to go...
~ due to being scared of what might be the last time I see her.
my bones ache, my heart hurts, and my brain is beyond tired.
kindly keep me in your thoughts,
Blessings from the Farm

Will absolutely keep you in my prayers, Lori!! I know how hard that is!! God bless!! ❤️
Thank you
Breathe in October, Lori, every chance you get...
My heart goes out to you as I've gone thru the same thing with my first husband who died early at 44 and mother who lived a long life but it's never a good time to lose a loved one. Keep your mind focused when driving.
OH, on a more pleasant comment, you had quite a gathering which I saw on FB. And I've seen mushrooms growing every year in my wooded yard but leave them as I'm not sure how to tell a good mushroom from one which may make me sick or kill me.
I most certainly will!
thank you ~ hard to focus on anything ~
Yes! our event was filled with love and laughter ~ I'm ever-thankful...and, when in doubt, admire those mushrooms from afar my friend!
Sending prayers and hugs to you and mom. It is not easy.
Peace be with you.
Hang in there!
Beautiful pictures you shared from your walks, dear Lori! Your October event was fabulous and as always, you are such a gracious and inspiring host. You are in my prayers as you journey north to see your Mom. Thinking of you.
Have a safe trip to see your Mom....Hugs to you and your family ....Enjoy the fresh ,crisp October air ...
Oh dear Lori...my heart feels for you. As you know, I love October best as well and, like you, feel it is whirling by me leaving me dizzy. And, stressed...yes....so much stress. I do not have the added stress of watching the decline of my mother...that has passed for me (well, not the pain of the loss, but the other moments). I know that fear...and anxiety. Wishing you strength to do what you know you - and your mother - needs you to do. And wishing you peace as well. Sending calming, strengthening, thoughts and prayers. Travel safely. ~Robin~
You are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope you can find some October ‘Gold’ in your visit with your Mom and the travels. Hugs
Lori, thinking of you and so glad you are able to go be with your Mom. You will not regret it! Travel safe, sending my love & hugs!
It was a joyful time at NFF for your Halloween Open House. Will be thinking of you as you travel north to see your Mama..you will not regret going!
Prayers Lori for you and your Mother 🙏♥️
Thinking of you and keeping you in my prayers. Stay strong. ~Hugs, Charl
