Truth be told, it’s going pretty well for me right now.  Kids are making the masks, I was never one to go out in public much anyhow, the business is holding up and our family is enjoying our time together.  And I feel guilty as all get out.  I’ll be talking about how I’m trying to make sense of it this week on The Hearth of Sap Bush Hollow.  Prefer to read instead of listen?  You can find it over at the website (along with info about everything else we do here on the farm).

Some people were super prepared for this outbreak.  Not only that, they were super-prepped for war, famine, hurricanes, earthquakes, you name it.  Does that mean they’re in better shape right now than the rest of us?  Not necessarily.  That’s what I’ll be talking about this week on The Hearth of Sap Bush Hollow.  You can read the story on the blog at Sapbush.com.

 I used to know where to put things.  I used to know when to put them there, and how to move them to create food.  With all these changes, I feel like I’m back to square one.  How will I re-learn my new job?  You can read the full transcript on the blog @ Sapbush.com.

I’ve been reading and hearing it said that we Americans are too individualistic and selfish to make the changes that can flatten the curve.  This week, one of my kids reminded me of another powerful attribute we have as a culture that could make all the difference. If you prefer to read this, you can find the full essay on the blog at Sapbush.com.

As farmers, we all keep reminding ourselves that we don’t get to stop just because there’s a new virus outbreak.  And it’s true.  The grass still grows, and the pigs don’t care, and those chickens keep laying eggs.  But my job is on the community and financial side of the business.  I had to stop and experience everything in my soul until I could figure out how to go.  That’s what I’ll be talking about this week on The Hearth of Sap Bush Hollow.
