End of the Road Farm

My favorite one Hops: is "Into My Arms". He isn't for the faint of heart, that's for sure. But this song is simple, poetic, and for me, meaningful. Other music by him is angry, testosterone-laden, and slightly bizarre. Think Lou Reed meets the Doors and Rage Against the Machine.
Frost on the field this morning. Winter is descending like a soft but persistant cloud of fog.... and I'm already turning to head-centered interests/pursuits that don't matter to anyone in the real world. LOL.
Saw an interesting Netflix series; 10 episodes. "The Haunting of Hill House". It's only part, classic haunted house story. The other part is resolution of dysfunctional family issues... which doesn't happen until the last episode. I've seen that one twice and bawled both times. Holly didn't like the ending. I won't spoil it for anyone past saying that much.

I marathon sprinted through the last 6 episodes of Hill House, and thought it was really good, up till the ending. I didn't see the first episodes, so that have changed how I feel about it.
I agree with Holly. It's not the ending I would have chosen.
It was full of jump scares, some really good ones, and I screamed LOUD during one of the last ones. OMG.
I have to say..... consistently choosing "lets split up" in a haunted house never works out well, does it?
I'm glad you liked the ending, Amber.

I guess I saw a lot of connection in the ending with the grief cycle, relationships, fear vs love, courage, and the fact that no matter how hard we work - we simply aren't EVER going to know EVERYTHING about EVERYTHING. Life remains mysterious and surprising and scary and even rewarding... in ways we can't predict.
And I LIKE that. ;)
No one "right" way to be... no absolute "perfection" of the human condition... we're ALL different people... each unique, valuable, and enjoyable - or difficult - in our peculiar way.
The busy-ness of this week continues. So it's time to do, and reflection will come later.
sKePTiKal:
Yeah, so the old lady can still hang. I was still awake when we got home at 3 am. Still mostly sober too. Holly turned around and drove to B'more to work - so she was 48 hrs without sleep. My friend Deb showed and first off, announced she was exhausted! So, the old ladies crashed about an hour before Holly did - she was letting the excess coffee jitters wear off.
I can now resume my usual winter planning, thinking up things, and designing the farm phase. More soon....
Hopalong:
Sounds like this is a creative time of year for you, ((((Amber)))).
I often think of you as the polar opposite of me in terms of productivity.
It honestly astonishes me how much you do and how you approach it.
I'm regularly inspired by you (and everyone here) in the struggle to
overcome intertia.
Hope the fall brings you incredible leaves, amazing sunsets and
new friends.
Do you see a big swatch of sky from your porch. One of the best
things I love about being in the mountains is the lack of light pollution
and the huge expanses of sky. Have a little bit of that even here, as
my street's up on a ridge. Clouds are amazing. But where you are,
they must be even more gorgeous.
hugs
Hops
