Students - Look who's here! Our newest addition, yet-unnamed. This morning I woke up to (my husband) Shepherd Mark's voice, "Nora gave us the most beautiful white lamb last night. It looks like it's a week old!" And so she did. And so it does. Welcome to this new child, a bouncy haiku on an emerald of a day.
In celebration of new life and another joyous spring morning, I am thrilled to share this beautiful Poet-Tree made by Susan Kellner and her first grade students at Harold O. Brumsted Elementary in Holland, NY. Some of you may remember Susan's lovely poet-tree from 2012!

Thank you to Catherine Johnson for sharing my fiddlehead poem from FOREST HAS A SONG at her blog today. On Wednesday, she'll share Shepherd Mark's recipe for a delicious fiddlehead frittata, this year's Mother's Day brunch at Heart Rock Farm.
