  • FRESH OFF THE PAGE: One last bright day

    Posted by Jacqlyn Thorne on November 20, 2015November 20, 2015

    I got the feeling that today was the end. The last day of relative warmth, of feeling heat in the sunshine, of hearing the buzz of a bee in the yard at noontime. I vowed to get …

  • Learning to Be Gentle

    Posted by Jacqlyn Thorne on November 13, 2015November 13, 2015

    Animals are amazing teachers. Whatever our thoughts, fears, hangups, demons are, they will magnify them. Push us to acknowledge our problems and (hopefully) let them go. Most of the time whether we are aware of the …

  • THROUGH MY LENS: The Old Birch

    Posted by Jacqlyn Thorne on November 11, 2015November 11, 2015

    At the back of the yard this big birch tree stands alone. It’s very messy, shedding branches large and small all the time. It’s rotting, dying unfortunately, from some disease or what may have been …

  • AROUND THE FARM: “Winter is coming,” part 2

    Posted by Jacqlyn Thorne on November 9, 2015November 8, 2015

    Preparing the Chickens Before anyone gets nervous, I don’t mean putting them in the freezer. Although I do think about it whenever they peck up a plant I like (I have my moments). I love …

  • ON MY SOAPBOX: Hit and Run

    Posted by Jacqlyn Thorne on November 7, 2015November 7, 2015

    Driving home tonight I passed two skunks, a porcupine, and a raccoon, all dead. Squashed in the road and left to be food for crows. Every day and night animals are killed by cars. You know, …

  • Saving Louis and Clark

    Posted by Jacqlyn Thorne on October 28, 2015October 31, 2015

    They both looked at me, I looked at them, and I knew I had really come to take them home. Who had I been kidding? They felt so good – not just cute, which they were, but all kittens are cute. It felt more like we belonged together....

  • The Long Road Home

    Posted by Jacqlyn Thorne on October 9, 2015

    Traveling along through the early evening, I watched the clouds roll away and the sky clear, shocked by the red riot of the sunset, and followed the path of the mists curling across the hills and down into the valleys, still clinging here and there to some odd anchor. I watched the light fade, the long light I love so much, and the shadows start to overtake it all. It was gorgeous and devastating, peaceful and powerful both at once...

  • FRESH OFF THE PAGE

    Posted by Jacqlyn Thorne on May 7, 2015May 7, 2015

    Two lives now to bury, Weighed on my heart – Once separate, now equal, Both fragile and short; One lived high in the trees, The other along the ground; No more sunning or sliding, No more sweet, cheerful sounds...

  • Spending some down-time

    Posted by Jacqlyn Thorne on April 24, 2015April 24, 2015

    I returned home earlier this week from a short but much-needed trip to the ocean. This time it was to Florida’s Gulf Coast, the more tropical and laid back side of the state, in my opinion. Right …

  • Expanding My Horizons

    Posted by Jacqlyn Thorne on March 18, 2015March 18, 2015

    Today I woke up and was so glad to see the sun finally shining again. It’s been a long winter here in the Northeast, and like a lot of other people, I get seasonal depression. …
