mystic morning farm.

...a sweet place to steal away for the weekend.  My lovely friend, who's currently interning at this farm, is leaving the state for good in a week and I don't know what I'll do on my weekends, or who I'll photograph.

museum of everyday life.

...this magical place in the middle-of-nowhere Vermont.  A museum filled with matchstick sculptures and safety pin art, different x-rays and a large taxidermy bear - all in an old white barn.  Not to mention the museum's land housed farm animals and herb/vegetable garden in the back.  I keep thinking I've found the most magical swimming hole or farm in Vermont and then I find things like this and don't know what to do anymore.

p.s. These are some of my new friends from school!

back at scratch farm.

I'm back helping out on this little farm in Cranston, RI.  This time I'm getting payed with greens and all the other things that are harvested, but that's not even an incentive, just a bonus, really. Working in the dirt with these nice people is seriously the best thing I could be doing with my time. And it was so hot on Sunday that we all took a break from hoeing and weeding to go swimming in that pond!

On the way to the coast we stopped to visit Derreck's farm near Salisbury, NC!  He lives in the coolest trailer that I'm pretty sure hopped straight out of the 70's.  It was so lovely to wake up early and see all of the animals and derreck speeding us around on "the gator" was pretty fun too.

a bike tour.

Today I was invited out to this cool, offbeat place in South Providence, Liberty Elm Diner (blueberry french toast! ^^), but it turned into a mini bike tour/adventure through the whole city:

First: Roger Williams Park! It was so huge and filled with lakes and ducks and surreal architecture.

Okay and then City Farm, a little workshare farming place actually within the city.

And finally the Providence Athenaeum, a library that's been around since 1753.  It was filled with old mysterious books and it was so fun to see books with the last check out date in 1946.  My friend found a bookmark that was from 1923 in one of the books :O. It was a happy little way to not completely hibernate through the 35 degree weather. AND the day finished with riding through the city on the back rack of someone's bicycle.
