Welcome to Apifera Farm - where art, animals and lavender collide.

Follow along my journey as an artist, mother to sheep and friend to weeds as I stumble along as novice farmer and shepherd - all the while being true to my artistic muses. Here we believe in making gardens, not war and we listen to the cues of wise donkeys as they bake pies. One must watch for cats falling from our trees, and listen to the bees as they tell us when to cut our fields of lavender. The chocolate lab named after a pie and the pug with one eye create rhymes for me on a daily basis, and at the beginning of every day I awake and ask the sheep, "What will happen today?".

Morning Donkey Parade

Pino, being the gentleman of the herd, takes up the rear. Lucia, the little light bearer, is always in front. The ladies are always permitted to goes first. Paco, must be in the middle, so he can watch Lucia, and be better than Pino. And of course, Pino doesn't care - but the expression on his face tells me, "Did I do okay in the parade today?".
