Sleighing to Sharing the Fire
The weather seems to think we need to break the record for all time low temps in the Northeast! That just means we need to have more people SHARING THE FIRE! March 18-20, 2011 at the Crowne Plaza Warwick, Rhode Island storytellers from around the Northeast will gather and share in warm stories, warm hearts, healing, learning and friendships.
You may have to hire the sleigh above to get there this year with old man winter dumping storm after storm on us. Then you would surely have a story to share on the adventure of coming to
Sharing the Fire Northeast Storytelling Conference.
If you need to contact the sleigh please do contact my friends Terry and Elaine Joseph at their farm http://www.cedarknoll.net/ 860377-8110. They do warm weather events too like my daughters wedding a few years ago! Now that was a fairy tale like day!

"The Hero's Journey as Healing Story"
with storyteller Lani Peterson. Quoting the brochure on the conference: "From C.G. Jung to Joseph Campbell to Disney, the mythic structure of the hero's journey has been explored and utilized from every angle, but its power as a framework for clients, patients, parishioners,and storytellers to explore their own healing stories holds infinite possibilities. Bring your own life experiences and understand it by working with it from the inside out." For more info on Lani check her website at: http://www.lanipeterson.com/

I Love Newport RI. Do You? See Why!
This impressive spire a dominant feature of the Newport Rhode Island skyline. There is so much to enjoy on a visit to Newport. The mansions, the harbor, the shops and museums, the dinner train. I love to go out to Fort Adams State Park and look across the harbor at the town. A sunset boat ride through the harbor is a special memory of time spent in Newport. This is a town steeped in history, take a day trip or spend a weekend. Here is an upcoming event to entice you to go:
Newport Winter Festival

Food, music, entertainment sand sculptors, chili cook-off, scavenger hunt, ice sculpting, children's fair and more.

Special Edition Part 2 The Snow Pictures
Welcome to SNOW day! My goal is to get to the barn and take care of the horses. This is a photo story of this afternoons adventure. I shoveled ,caught my breath, took a picture and repeat. Kept the camera warm and dry inside my coat. Thinking of the line from TAPS, "All is well, safely rest" If you enjoy my blogs please press the "follow" button.
That's the way to get there after this mornings shoveling is snowed over.
So far so good!
But all this left to do ugh!
Impressive pile, one for the record books! I'm getting there.
In! Feed these and through to open the other side and go feed the group out back, uh..... Sorry gang it will be a few minutes delayed.
One thing about shoveling snow, no one bothers you, and having work pile up is a sign of productivity.
Blizzard of 2011 Special Edition
Pretty landscapes are a distant thought until the dangers and effects of the blizzard are subdued
Here I am reporting to you from the Blizzard of 2011 Mansfield Ct. a bit frosty
Tim working at making a path passable in our driveway
Could use a bigger tractor in this battle
the eerie glow of his lights, now where do we put all that snow?
My effort to keep a one shovel width path to the house cleared filled in 2" in an hour
Somewhere over the snowpile our horse trailer

The January 12, 2011 Blizzard Special Edition Ct. Quiet Corner Storybook Farm Report
to get the next installment from the Blizzard Special click on the "follow" button and I'll send it right to your inbox
9:30 a.m. it is still coming down. Hard to get an accurate total in windswept Mansfield Ct. but I think there is over 2 feet of snow so far, it is still coming down. Visibility is improved but still a reduced amount. The cold wind driven snow stings at the eyes.
I am in on a coffee and cooking break. I have all our horses, goats and the 2 rabbits fed and watered. It took a massive amount of shoveling just to accomplish that. The rest of the family is still out there. Most of the work at the dairy is done for the morning. My son drove to and from work on his tractor clearing his own way. Now he has our driveway passable for the short term and gone down the road to plow his Grandfather's driveway.
We are so grateful to the manufaturers of Carhart clothes! We just would hate to attempt a storm of this caliber without our Carhart Coats, sweatshirts and coveralls.
