Memories of Autumn

摘要

I live on a small farm near Portland, Oregon. I love the cycle of life in the country: planting the garden, shearing the sheep, tending, and harvesting, and "putting by."Having used natural plant dyes nearly all my adult life, I eliminated all other colorants from my personal work when my family moved to our farm about twelve years ago. Now the residue from our garden harvest may go to dyepot, chicken feed, or compost, but it all ends up back in the garden to begin the cycle again!
