Purple Tree Day


Purple Trees

Anja and I took a trip to the market one Saturday via a visit to Axel in the barn packing apples. Its a nice little walk to the farm. Behind our house is a forest path that leads to stairs and a fence crossing point. Over the fence is the cow pasture of Tablehurst farm, which is next to Emerson College. There are a couple small bridges to cross where a stream meanders through the pasture. Each bridge has a cow barrier so cows stay put and off the bridge. One last bridge leads to a horse pasture where a gate opens to the farm store parking lot. We stopped to say hi to our friends on the farm and off to visit daddy in the barn. We cooked him one of the house sausages that he was given the other day for doing extra work on the farm one day. The perks of being in Biodynamic food biz are yummy!

We didn't notice the trees were purple when we were in the pasture. All the color in the picture is exactly how we remember seeing it, except for the trees. It is my thinking that we snapped a photo of the tree's aura. I think this is one of my favorite pictures in a long time.

It was a great day. Chilly and gray like most of the days here. And a bit muddy as well. And all of it lovely.
