It has been quiet around here on the blog. But life has been happening on our little farm even even though I haven't been blogging about it. Every morning I wake up, deeply grateful to be where I am, on these 13 acres in rural Michigan. Grateful for the gifts of nature big and small--apples ripening on the trees, watching wild turkey poults grow up, watching fawns graze with their mothers in our fields, the song of birds, the kiss of rain, the beauty sunrises and sunsets, warm days and cool breezes, bright stars and crescent moons. Life is full of little miracles.

| A gift from Nature--this chipping sparrow nest is built entirely from pine needles and goat hair from our miniature goats . I watched the sparrows gather the hair from the barnyard fence each morning this spring as I was caring for the the goats. |
You've probably noticed a name change on the blog. We've named our little farm Tangled Basket Farm. And soon, very soon, you will be able to purchase some products from our farm. I am setting up an Etsy shop that will have several of our organically grown heirloom garlic varieties, as well as my handwoven, one of a kind,willow baskets. I'll post the link when the shop is ready.
Also watch for our third annual garlic giveaway. It has been so much fun to do the garlic giveaway the past the past two years, that we are doing it again this year. So stay tuned for a chance to win a few of our heirloom garlic varieties.
I'm glad to be back to blogging. I also post almost daily to Tangled Basket Farm's facebook page. Click here to go to the page. If you enjoy what you see there, please hit like!
(Thanks to my neighbor Karen, for modeling with the chipping sparrow nest.)
