Broomball -- people on skates, boots, shoes, carrying shovels, brooms, hockey sticks, batting a deflated soccer ball around the pond behind Main House. As you can imagine, lots of flailing to catch balance, lots of confusion as people figure out (or try to) who's on which team, lots and lots of fun. Sula -- a… Continue reading Gould Farm Dictionary, abbreviated

For y’all who have given up on my ever blogging again…
So, there's no excuse. So I won't even try to give one. Here's some of what's going on in Laura life. I'm learning organ from a man in Pittsfield and getting to play on some pretty awesome instruments. What a power trip! And my feet are finally starting to do what I'm telling them to… Continue reading For y’all who have given up on my ever blogging again…
What should I call this one…?
I'm sorry it's been so long since I've updated my blog... time is getting away from me. There's not all that much new happening other than the normal new stuff -- new volunteers, new guests, new empty rooms... Katie is leaving in a week or so. 😦 She will be missed, but she's ready to… Continue reading What should I call this one…?
April and May Reading List
DreamGiver -- written by the same man who wrote Prayer of Jabez (a book I refuse to read). Had I not figured this out after reading half of the book, I likely wouldn't have read it. It's okay -- a kind of cutesy, feel-good theology that tends to be too conservative for my beliefs but… Continue reading April and May Reading List
Welcome, Mud Season!
Spring is sprung, The grass is riz. I wonder where the flowers is... It's mud season -- how appropriate for lent -- which means that it's raining a lot and dirt roads (which are plentiful here) are pretty much impassable. But, it is certainly the herald to spring! Blessings to you all as signs of… Continue reading Welcome, Mud Season!
February and March Reading List
State of the Union and Democratic Response -- interesting, frustrating, well done in spots, worth reading, especially if you want to feel like an informed citizen and happened to be working on the night when it was delivered. 1984 by George Orwell -- I'm listening to it while I crochet and it very much gives… Continue reading February and March Reading List
More exciting news!
I now am the owner of two beautiful and very nice cats. Elsa, 1 year old and gray and white, is super skinny right now because she just decided to eat this morning after starving herself for four or five days -- she'll get more beautiful as she fattens up again. Gabby is a gorgeous… Continue reading More exciting news!
Help! Too many beautiful cats!
I'm in the process of picking a cat (or possibly two). Here are my choices at this point: Lyra -- white calico with lots of energy, eight months old. Like MacGyver (my brother's cat) in that once she starts playing, she never wants to stop, but she can be quite affectionate in the right moment.… Continue reading Help! Too many beautiful cats!
Exciting News
Some of you heard that my original housing situation stopped working a while ago -- personal and farm conflicts made it a bit of an unpleasant place to live. I've been living in a room in a tiny house, but I applied for another house on farm. I was just told yesterday that I was… Continue reading Exciting News
Correction of Assumptions
For the sake of clarity, which is usually, I find, a good thing: I don't know how far the word has gotten that I have a boyfriend... so I'm choosing to correct it with my blog rather than trying to catch it individually. I do not, in fact, have a boyfriend. I have a friendboy… Continue reading Correction of Assumptions
