The Seasons: A Poem

Sunrise over Amazing Grasses Family Farm The mad Artist wields His brush, Painted colors rush, To life and give flush, Before the quiet autumn hush. The life seems to pour, As colors fall to the floor, To be seen no more, Outside the dark, grey door. Brightness from below, Sun upon the snow, High, cold clouds blow, Flakes and ice appear to grow. The man melts with little seen, Underneath, pale, grey green, Hides life in dark unseen, Waits for warmth and to careen. Buds on branches show, Patience starts to grow, Trickles, streams and veins flow, Bringing fruits of melted snow. Sprung to life it springs, Bees, birds, sound rings, Lush green flings, Its gift bounty brings. Green growth gives one last rush, Underneath the Painter's brush. The mad Artist wields His brush, before the quiet autumn hush. More poetry is available from James M. Hahn in  The Last Dragon and Other Poems  available now.

Slate Run Living Historical Farm

Okay, the first two pictures here are of one of our cucumbers that I cut open. I thought it was cool how the moisture started to seep out of the cucumber so I took these pictures.

Now, on to Slate Run Farm... It is a living historical farm that is part of the Metro Park system. We usually visit a few times a year depending on what's going on. We highly recommend a visit if you are in the Canal Winchester area.



The boys fell in love with the animals while dad fell in love with these beautiful flowers.

I'm a hopeless brewing romantic...

Some turkeys.

This turkey didn't care too much for the rooster being in the same pen.


fresh country air here!

We also had our neighbor with us, before any one starts spreading rumors...

I think William was smoking some corn stalks or something.

The farmers were plowing up potatoes and everyone was invited to dig them up out of the dirt. They let us take 6 spuds per family and the rest they were taking to the local food bank.

Oooh, the flowers -- hops! We're planning on brewing a dunkelweiss this weekend. So I can appreciate that.
