I love the quiet isolation a storm brings to the farm. I feel as though I am cut off from the rest of the world. Just the animals and I finding comfort in the routines we have long choreographed.

The farm encompasses me, providing me with everything that I need. It is safe and dependable, steadfast and strong. A partnership with the wood stove, I carry wood and feed the iron box that keeps me and the dog warm. I can weather anything here among these sturdy beams of our house built long ago.
