Don’t blame you for feeling weepy at the sight of that clothesline Terence Malick tableau. Heart-rending in its unspoiled, anachronistic cotton innocence.
I could not love you more! The inflections in your voice as you read these things kill me! Stacks of folded clean sheets on ironing boards (reminding me of Patricia Neal in "HUD") and pies cooling on windowsills (reminding me of Nancy and Sluggo cartoons) are wonderful. Thank you for this uplifting ode to "the household arts." Not as commonly practiced now maybe, but then again, many in gen Z are into developing useful skills for surviving an apocalypse, and will perhaps enjoy simpler, domestic pleasures like canning. I think many of them will end up longing for a home even more than previous generations did, since they have less hope of being able to own one.
"Over all, the first impression is a feeling similar to being tucked lovingly into a soft-boiled egg."
Guess i'll have to listen to get the subversive edge here especially the Mountie stuff. Whoever tied HER to the tracks certainly used cotton i assume heeeheee don't go soft on me
I had Refuge Farm down in Culpeper for 13 years. Then came the Covid adventure that accompaanied the manifestation of blood clots. I am suspicious of th coincidence. Not enough close-by medical infrastructure to support being sick, so back to Arlington for adequate care. Loved that farm and the magic you describ so well! Vic

What a delightful experience you have crafted! The shop sounds amazing and I hope the proprietors enjoyed it as much as I did.
"Tools for a set of forgotten skills" I'm using that as a writing prompt!
