yes! there are workshops several times a year a half hour's( car!) ride away from my farm. We live in an area filled with Amish farmers and plenty of " back to the land" dreamers who make a good fit for learning this old(new) skill. My dad has a wonderful photo of himself at 14 plowing with his team of Clydesdales. lovely gentle giants!
Not sure where I am headed with this.
Sometimes I am like that, act first think second.
Who is this person?
It is a tricky thing to sum oneself up in a few words or less. Especially someone like myself, who feels like I am still very much a work in progress. My focus in the now revolves around my kids...all are at various stages in becoming the women they will be. Sometimes, during the rare moments of genuine peace and quiet, I make things. Things for them, for me, my partner, our home. Not exactly a few words or less....but as with me, at least a start.
Apparently you can learn this at www.farmerbrownsplowshop.com/
ReplyDeleteBut it is in upstate New York.
I love that you want to know this. I've secretly wanted to learn Blacksmithing.
Happy no surprises day!

Aren't you celebrating something this week?
ReplyDeleteSoftly, softly waken
To your special day.
Let the bright sun lead you,
Lead you on your way.
The stones, beasts, birds surround you,
The fresh grass underfoot
Your future steps await you;
The world is sweet and bright.

ReplyDeleteReally???
DeleteI am going to keep this one in my mind - I figured that I would have to go to Upstate New York or something like that.
This is great news.
