A snail mail club about rural farm living with burros outside my studio door. Meet my “burro buddies” through the ongoing stories of their lives and daily living. Learn about their personalities, quirks, and individual differences that make burros unique farm partners. Through humor and heartfelt moments we experience together, there’s much to share.
Along for the ride are two studio cats, Maggie Magpie, generally known as Mags, and Jasper. They are never far behind, whether it’s the Studio, the house, or out to the orchard and garden areas.
Every month, a green envelope will land in your mailbox containing a personal letter from the farm, a piece of studio art in the form of a print, and a little bit of rural magic.
These stories are exclusive to the club (not posted on Facebook/Instagram).
Our first mailing heads out this May—just as the burros are discovering the fresh spring grass in the big pasture.
