island farming

in the country

July 29th, 2010

i’ve been going to edisto island for 20 years, and every year i go to  george and pink’s produce stand.  off the main road and down a long sandy road canopied by ancient live oaks dripping with spanish moss, pink sells locally grown everything .  she always remembers us, and we look forward to visiting.  now she’s expanded to homeade jams and pies.  so much southern food to feast on!

a breath of country air

homes and habitats

July 28th, 2010

over the past couple of weeks we have spent some time home sitting in the country.  our daily duties were to care for the horses, sheep, chickens, dogs, cats, count the cows, and water the gardens and greenhouse.   i always day dream about living in the country, it was fun to spend some mornings, evenings, and days away from the city.  i love so many things about small city living, but the county always seems to call my name.  i love the idea of waking up to an open field, fresh eggs, letting my dogs roam, listening to the crickets, watch a field of glowing fireflies, and making friends with neighboring farmers.  i enjoyed going on walks with my camera and documenting the details, enjoy!

some evening fishing enjoying the country quiet.
