Dusk at Verde Farm


After a day of cloud and wind and rain
Sometimes the setting sun breaks out again,
And touching all the darksome woods with light,
Smiles on the fields until they laugh and sing,
Then like a ruby from the horizon’s ring,
Drops down into the night.
-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow









I want to thank all the wonderful bloggers who joined Farm Friend Friday either by posting or checking out the blogs shared. It was a great time and we can’t wait till this Friday. 

Today we are linking up with Barn Charm. Check out all the wonderful barn post shared there. It’s a lot of fun. Have a great week farm friends.

Farm Friend Friday debuts

Hello farm friends, we’re excited to try something new at Verde Farm. We read and enjoy so many great farm life blogs we thought it would be fun to have a farm Friday blog party. Starting this week, we will be hosting "Farm Friend Friday" in an effort to share posts from the blogosphere.


So how does it work? On Thursday evenings you will see a post here with the above button and instructions on how to link your posts. If it’s about life on the farm, including cooking, decorating, managing farm animals, spinning, crafting, and/or photography-we’re game. So, share the invitation with your buddies and feel free to post the above button on your site-or use it in a blog post to spread the word. We will publish the first Farm Friend Friday this Thursday evening. We are looking forward to enjoying the wide, wonderful world of farm life through different eyes and perspectives.

We will see you then,
