I imagine one lure of farming is in the simplicity (though potential monotony) of the tasks. Tedding this field, for instance (gathering the mown hay lying flat on the ground into windrows to allow better aeration), probably took under an hour to complete, and the farmer may very well have been on autopilot during that entire time. His attention could have been anywhere, perhaps even within a profoundly meditative state. That’s a significant freedom to enjoy in one’s work, and art.

It’s August, and so off I went with JJ on our yearly trek to the fabled “Arches”. Lots of water moving through, perhaps the highest volume I have witnessed on these trips, and VERY COLD. Basking in the whole gestalt of the place (and taking a long swim), can do wonders for what ails a soul – it’s just that kind of place. This view is slightly upstream from the swimming hole, which itself is just up from the keystone arch bridge.

A couple of great sets from these folks at Concerts in the Garden in Chester, CT. Band and venue highly recommended! See post below.

There’s a nice description of full moon names here. This view is from the Essex Dock, looking east across the CT River toward Old Lyme. The tide is coming in, right to left.
