Your life is, to me, the Big Life that I meant to live. But, I bumped off-track to a Small Life in Urbanity. Reading & looking at your blog satisfies me in very real, visceral & happy ways. Thank you.

Waiting for the comment of the reader who didn’t get to meet you in the coffee shop that day, so you can get coffee together next time!

Ya know–I was thinking the reason you didn’t introduce yourself to your obvious fan is that you’re just a humble soul. . .

I’m a total stranger and I love reading about your “smallish” life. For all of the reasons the others have said, but also because you write about it so well. I enjoy your use of words and your imagery and your insight. There are a lot of blgs about smallish lives, but the ones that are compelling are the ones, like yours, that draw us in and make us feel like we are sharing your experience. Adorable photos of animals are an added bonus.

OMG! I was just writing to an old friend this a.m. and my exact words were “I’m experiencing an amazing clarity. . .” Is it this book I’m reading (Flow, The Psychology of Optimal Experience) or are we all seeing reality w/ new eyes?

Love your reality–keep living it!

Cool experience! Bet she’d have liked to meet up with the person behind Juniper Moon. I loved meeting you at Rhinebeck. If you want to remain private, I can understand that, but in person you are very gracious and delightful.

As for your blog content, it’s just right. I especially love the photos and least like the “stuff” part. But I feel lucky you’re posting. You may not know that there are groups of use who talk about things that happen in the blog. Feenut is a special favorite here.

I live in Maine and early last summer I found your site thru another site actually. I love your site ! After a job elimination at my employer after 17 years, I was/am looking into farming as my next career. I have gone back to your site nearly every day since I found you and read your blogs religiously ! Its fun, inspiring, down to earth and I “get it”. I love reading about the goings-on @ your farm. Im a country girl at heart and your site gives me hope ! Keep up the good work. I hope I get there some day too !

“I have a place in this world, a me-shaped place that only I can fill.” This is my new motto.
