On harsh, frigid January days, when the winds are relentless and the snow piles up around us, I often think of our small feathered friends back on the Third Line. I wonder if the old feeder is still standing in the orchard and if anyone thinks to put out a few crumbs and some bacon drippings for our beautiful, hungry, winter birds. In the stark, white landscape they provided a welcome splash of colour and their songs gave us hope through the long, silent winter. ~ Arlene Stafford-Wilson
Farm Life quotes by Arlene Stafford-Wilson
Why do farmers farm, given their economic adversities on top of the many frustrations and difficulties normal to farming? And always the answer is: "Love. They must do it for love." Farmers farm for the love of farming. They love to watch and nurture the growth of plants. They love to live in the presence of animals. They love to work outdoors. They love the weather, maybe even when it is making them miserable. They love to live where they work and to work where they live. If the scale of their farming is small enough, they like to work in the company of their children and with the help of their children. They love the measure of independence that farm life can still provide. I have an idea that a lot of farmers have gone to a lot of trouble merely to be self-employed to live at least a part of their lives without a boss. ~ Wendell Berry
Farm Life quotes by Wendell Berry
Today, it is the scent of honeysuckle that takes me back in time and lays me down near a barn. I pick a honeysuckle blossom, touch the trumpet to my nose and inhale. With sticky filthy fingers, I pinch the base of its delicate well then lick the drop of nectar. The sweet liquid makes me thirst for more, and I reach for another and another, the same hands that reach again and again for tobacco as I string. I separate honeysuckle blossoms and taste. ~ Brenda Sutton Rose
Farm Life quotes by Brenda Sutton Rose
Warm familiar scents drift softly from the oven,
And imprint forever upon our hearts
That this is home
and that we are loved. ~ Arlene Stafford-Wilson
Farm Life quotes by Arlene Stafford-Wilson
I'd be okay with that kind of trouble, Amber said, as a pair of flannel-clad farm boys headed toward them. ~ Laura Ruby
Farm Life quotes by Laura Ruby
No matter where I go, I'll never forget home. I can feel its heartbeat a thousand miles away. Home is the place where I grew my wings. ~ Brenda Sutton Rose
Farm Life quotes by Brenda Sutton Rose
With them we may say there died a thing older than themselves, these were the Last of the Peasants, the last of the Old Scots folk. A new generation comes up that will know them not, except as a memory in a song... ~ Lewis Grassic Gibbon
Farm Life quotes by Lewis Grassic Gibbon
As I string, a swift rhythm is played out with my hands, a cadence known only to those who have strung tobacco. To many of the poor workers, the meter and rhythm of stringing tobacco is the only poetry they've ever known. ~ Brenda Sutton Rose
Farm Life quotes by Brenda Sutton Rose
Little Joe was still behind him. Eli could feel it. He wanted to look back, but he couldn't. The tears were too close. If he were Fancy, he'd turn around and kick and buck and moo and do just about anything to keep his calf near. But Eli wasn't Fancy; he was a farmer. ~ Sandra Neil Wallace
Farm Life quotes by Sandra Neil Wallace
Some things were done a certain way and they had been done that same way for ages. Most of the time it was a good thing, a reliable thing, and we grew up being able to count on life being very predictable and very dependable. ~ Arlene Stafford-Wilson
Farm Life quotes by Arlene Stafford-Wilson
It is my joy to share with present and future generations these stories so full of humor, warmth, and adventure – and so rich in the rural culture of the early 1900's. ~ Linda Boynton Pedersen
Farm Life quotes by Linda Boynton Pedersen
The part of the Lake District that Beatrix Potter chose as her own was not only physically beautiful, it was a place in which she felt emotionally rooted as a descendant of hard-working north-country folk. The predictable routines of farm life appealed to her. There was a realism in the countryside that nurtured a deep connection. The scale of the villages was manageable. Yet the vast desolateness of the surrounding fells was awe-inspiring. It was mysterious, but easily imbued with fantasy and tamed by imagination. The sheltered lakes and fertile valleys satisfied her love of the pastoral. The hill farms and the sheep on the high fells demanded accountability. There was a longing in Beatrix Potter for association with permanence: to find a place where time moved slowly, where places remained much as she remembered them from season to season and from year to year. ~ Linda Lear
Farm Life quotes by Linda Lear
Finn fell asleep draped in Kittens and dreamed that the corn walked the earth on skinny white roots, liked to joke with the crows, and wasn't afraid of anything. ~ Laura Ruby
Farm Life quotes by Laura Ruby
The cost to reconnect animals to live in natural settings without human support is a debt that many animals in transition must honor with their lives. ~ Young Tim
Farm Life quotes by Young Tim
I told them that was the dulcet roar of a Rampion's engines," said Kai, "but they all insisted it was just another media hover flying over." His hands were tucked into his pickets and he was dressed more casually than Cinder was used to seeing him - a cotton button-down shirt with the sleeves rolled to his forearms and dark denim jeans. She had never imagined that farm life might suit him, but he looked as comfortable here as he did anywhere.
Cinder crossed her arms over her chest. "You're an expert on the sound levels of spaceships now, are you?"
"Nah," said Kai. "I've just been waiting to hear that sound all day."
She smiled at him, feeling the hummingbird flutter of her own pulse. He smiled back.
"Aces," said Thorne with a low groan. "They haven't even kissed yet and they're already making me nauseous."
His comment was followed by a pained grunt, but Cinder didn't know which of her friends had smacked him. ~ Marissa Meyer
Farm Life quotes by Marissa Meyer
We stepped a little quicker, laughed a little louder and chatted over the fences a little longer. We gathered bouquets of wildflowers, dined on fresh strawberries and began to ride our bikes up and down the Third Line again. We ran up grassy hills and rolled back down through the young clover, feeling light and giddy, free from our heavy boots and coats. There were trilliums to pick for Mother and tadpoles to catch and keep in a jar. Spring had come at last to Bathurst Township and was she ever worth the wait! ~ Arlene Stafford-Wilson
Farm Life quotes by Arlene Stafford-Wilson
We need only to close our eyes and we are back on the Third Line, walking up the lane, through the yard and entering the bright, warm kitchen. We are home again. ~ Arlene Stafford-Wilson
Farm Life quotes by Arlene Stafford-Wilson
I have spent my life reassembling the family farm. ~ Max Burns
Farm Life quotes by Max Burns
Mark came home late one frozen Sunday carrying a bag of small, silver fish. They were smelts, locally known as icefish. He'd brought them at the store in the next town south, across from which a little village had sprung up on the ice of the lake, a collection of shacks with holes drilled in and around them. I'd seen the men going from the shore to the shacks on snowmobiles, six-packs of beer strapped on behind them like a half dozen miniature passengers. "Sit and rest," Mark said. "I'm cooking." He sautéed minced onion in our homemade butter, added a little handful of crushed, dried sage, and when the onion was translucent, he sprinkled n flour to make a roux, which he loosened with beer, in honor of the fishermen. He added cubed carrot, celery root, potato, and some stock, and then the fish, cut into pieces, and when they were all cooked through he poured in a whole morning milking's worth of Delia's yellow cream. Icefish chowder, rich and warm, eaten while sitting in Mark's lap, my feet so close to the woodstove that steam came off my damp socks. ~ Kristin Kimball
Farm Life quotes by Kristin Kimball
Every day I review the ways he works, I try not to miss a trick. I feel put back together, and I'm watching my step. GOD rewrote the text of my life when I opened the book of my heart to his eyes. ~ Eugene H. Peterson
Farm Life quotes by Eugene H. Peterson
I never lose hope,
For hope is the road travelled between impossible to possible. ~ Gillian Duce
Farm Life quotes by Gillian Duce
Jonas was at her side. She didn't know why he'd risked his life for her so many times, but she was forever indebted to him. ~ Jen Meyers
Farm Life quotes by Jen Meyers
I want your loves to be multiple. I don't want you to be a snob about anything. Anything you love, you do it. ~ Ray Bradbury
Farm Life quotes by Ray Bradbury
Intellect takes us along in the battle of life to a certain limit, but at the crucial moment it fails us. Faith transcends reason. It is when the horizon is the darkest and human reason is beaten down to the ground that faith shines brightest and comes to our rescue. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Farm Life quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Life is too short to waste being a productive member of society. ~ Sol Luckman
Farm Life quotes by Sol Luckman
When you died, you were supposed to live on in the memories of others. That's what I'd always been told. Didn't matter what you believed, which religion you subscribed to, what god you worshipped. The simple fact was that none of us knew what lay beyond. Immortality and eternal life? The only sure shot at that was the memories of those you left behind - your friends and family ... ~ Brian Keene
Farm Life quotes by Brian Keene
My heart longs for the day when there will be no more suffering, no more hatred or violence, only love and a child will be able to grow up in a world without ever having to know the pain and anguish of an empty belly. ~ Heather Wolf
Farm Life quotes by Heather Wolf
A man's thoughts can change his entire life;Whatever you cannot perceive, you cannot receive. ~ Justice Clement
Farm Life quotes by Justice Clement
We find what we are looking for. If we are looking for life and love and openness and growth, we are likely to find them. If we are looking for witchcraft and evil, we'll likely find them, and we may get taken over by them. ~ Madeleine L'Engle
Farm Life quotes by Madeleine L'Engle
Yes, I believe in guardian angels, because otherwise I must believe that life is a string of death-defying miracles - and I don't believe in miracles. ~ Robert Breault
Farm Life quotes by Robert Breault
When you stop pretending to be who you are not and start being yourself, there is a big risk: significant people in your life may not accept you and leave. Yet, when you stop being yourself and pretend to be who you are not, there is a much bigger risk: the people who would accept and love you just as you are, may not accept you and leave. ~ Franco Santoro
Farm Life quotes by Franco Santoro
True love had awakened in two hearts. Through all the shifting scenes of earth-life, nothing like this had ever come to this mand and this woman. Love had waited all this time. The power that draws kindred souls together is not limited to the few years of earth-life. While time lasts, God will provide sometime, somewhere, in which to give opportunity for every deserving soul. Here were two whose hearts beat as one; but one must needs have left mortality early in his course, while the other went on to the end alone. The reason for this was difficult to see by mortal eyes, but now . . . ~ Nephi Anderson
Farm Life quotes by Nephi Anderson
I've never seen any life transformation that didn't begin with the person in question finally getting tired of their own bullshit. ~ Elizabeth Gilbert
Farm Life quotes by Elizabeth Gilbert
Don't waste another day of your life grieving over something that you cannot do anything about. Let God give you a new beginning. Your mistakes are not enough to stop God if you don't let them. ~ Joyce Meyer
Farm Life quotes by Joyce Meyer
I do find that I'm drawn to people in my life, romantically or not, that have something to teach me. I'm drawn to people who I feel like I can learn from. I'm not really drawn to toxic people - I don't find myself discovering that someone in my life is toxic very often. But there is some sense of being changed by each person that I think I'm drawn to. ~ Emma Stone
Farm Life quotes by Emma Stone
I'm attempting to broaden my novels' scope through landscape and weather, leaves falling off trees, overnight storms, timeless elements which, irrespective of human endeavour, have always been there and, as long as there is life and snow, will always be there. ~ Kent Haruf
Farm Life quotes by Kent Haruf
When you dread getting up in the morning to go somewhere, you are going to the wrong place. ~ Karen Larson-Reuter
Farm Life quotes by Karen Larson-Reuter
Those we underestimate in life can often serve as guides to our lack of vision. ~ Stewart Stafford
Farm Life quotes by Stewart Stafford
Angels love to create synchronicities because each synchronicity produces an illumination point for a soul to connect the dots on life experiences. This insight, in turn, creates an opportunity to expand the heart and grow the soul, which always results in positive change for humanity. ~ Molly Friedenfeld
Farm Life quotes by Molly Friedenfeld
It's very difficult to look at the World
and into your heart at the same time.
In between, a life has passed. ~ Jim Harrison
Farm Life quotes by Jim Harrison
I have had, in the course of my life, lots of encounters and lots of serious people. I have spent lots of time with grown-ups. I have seen them at close range ... which haven't much improved my opinion of them. ~ Antoine De Saint Exupery
Farm Life quotes by Antoine De Saint Exupery
Life is less like a straight line and more like a pendulum. We swing back and forth between illness and health, joy and suffering, right and wrong, progression and regression. The secret to life is to accept this duality as a normal process and not to expect one side to be a permanent state. This is how we achieve balance. ~ Emily Maroutian
Farm Life quotes by Emily Maroutian
There are certainties in existence, but love is something much harder to define than light and dark, life and death. I think saying you are "like" someone in love sounds right. ~ Abbas Kiarostami
Farm Life quotes by Abbas Kiarostami
I've realized as well after five years of being on the road that if I'm going to four or five months of my life to something even if I'm overpaid, it's four or five months of my life away from home, away from my son, away from family and friends. I better believe in it on some level even if it's a big movie. ~ Colin Farrell
Farm Life quotes by Colin Farrell
My life is a creative act
like a painting, or a concerto. ~ Ram Dass
Farm Life quotes by Ram Dass
Earnestness alone makes life eternity. ~ Thomas Carlyle
Farm Life quotes by Thomas Carlyle
Teddy Roosevelt "had relished "every hour" of every day as president. Indeed, (he was) fearing the "dull thud" he would experience upon returning to private life. ~ Doris Kearns Goodwin
Farm Life quotes by Doris Kearns Goodwin
I was a big reader. I could spend whole days absorbed in a book, whole weekends in the library or the park, completely oblivious to my surroundings. 'Escapism', I suppose they'd call it, but I never really liked that term much myself. I mean, who is it exactly who gets to decide which parts of your life are real and which parts are only allowed to count as an escape from that reality? I preferred to think that good books were my real life and all the other stuff - school, chores, all the rest of it - was just an interruption. ~ Jess Vallance
Farm Life quotes by Jess Vallance
My whole life has been the skate life. I don't really remember doing anything besides skateboarding. ~ Ryan Sheckler
Farm Life quotes by Ryan Sheckler
Do not just go through the day without pausing to ponder! You shall only retire wondering. ~ Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
Farm Life quotes by Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
Maybe love is like luck. You have to go all the way to find it. ~ Robert Mitchum
Farm Life quotes by Robert Mitchum
People say life is short.
life's not short - it's long.
the memory of a human being: that's what's short. ~ Julio Alexi Genao
Farm Life quotes by Julio Alexi Genao
We're not at a point in time to be taking chances with children and young people in the church. The Holy Father himself said ... there is no room in the priesthood or religious life for someone who has abused a child. I think he's right. ~ Roger Mahony
Farm Life quotes by Roger Mahony
I don't play bad guys. I think that's why I keep getting cast as bad guys: because I don't want to play bad guys. I want to play human beings that struggle with life. ~ Cliff Curtis
Farm Life quotes by Cliff Curtis
The sooner you learn to be kind to yourself, the sooner you will heal and move on with the life you want. It's time to stop letting other people run your life and control how you feel. ~ Paige Dearth
Farm Life quotes by Paige Dearth
Just like the waves of the ocean, my heart is singing the song of endless, eternal, sadness, joy, and love. ~ Debasish Mridha
Farm Life quotes by Debasish Mridha
I had a life before Alec" Magnus snapped. "I'm the High Warlock of Brooklyn. I am here to take a Council seat on behalf of Lillith's Children."
"I thought Catarina Loss was the warlock representative," said Luke, surprised.
"She was," Magnus admitted. "She made me take her place so I could come here and see Alec. ~ Cassandra Clare
Farm Life quotes by Cassandra Clare
"Civilization" has been thrust upon me since the days of the reservations, and it has not added one whit to my sense of justice, to my reverence for the rights of life, to my love for truth, honesty, and generosity, or to my faith in Wakan Tanka, God of the Lakotas. ~ Luther Standing Bear
Farm Life quotes by Luther Standing Bear
Our presence in Afghanistan is not worth the price of any more American lives or treasure. ~ Camille Paglia
Farm Life quotes by Camille Paglia
Encouraging words are hands that pool others from the despair of life. ~ Bangambiki Habyarimana
Farm Life quotes by Bangambiki Habyarimana
When you express your gratitude, you will bring joy to others lives.When others know joy, your life will be filled with happiness. ~ Arthur Dobrin
Farm Life quotes by Arthur Dobrin
Music is an element that should be part and parcel of every child's life via the education system. ~ Victoria Wood
Farm Life quotes by Victoria Wood
A peaceful soul haunts the warring mind. ~ Iimani David
Farm Life quotes by Iimani David
A silkworm was struggling out of the cocoon and an ignorant man saw it battling as if in pain, so he went and helped it to get free, but very soon after it fluttered and died. The other silkworms that struggled out without help suffered, but they came out into full life and beauty, with wings made strong for flight by their battle for fresh existence. ~ Sadhu Sundar Singh
Farm Life quotes by Sadhu Sundar Singh
Trap yourself inside your own brain, switch off the light, block all the escape routes, then turn your back on everything you know to be reality and try and survive there. Try. Living. Nowhere. ~ Carla H. Krueger
Farm Life quotes by Carla H. Krueger
Fasten thy life with faith. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Farm Life quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
Where would we be without tomorrows? What we'd have instead are todays. And if that was the case, with you, I'd hope for the longest day for today. I'd fill today with you, doing everything I've ever loved. I'd laugh, I'd talk, I'd listen and learn, I'd love, I'd love, I'd love. I'd make every day today and spend them all with you, and I'd never worry about tomorrow, when I wouldn't be with you. And when that dreaded tomorrow comes for us, please know that I didn't want to leave you, or be left behind, that every single moment spent with you were the best times in my life. ~ Cecelia Ahern
