Lovingly shot, edited, and assembled for my mother, this is a collection of footage I have compiled over the last couple visits home. Sadly there wasn’t much of a morel mushroom season, and the rains were absolutely horrific, but there are plenty of flowers I can’t name, butterflies, kittens, and one special kitten in particular, “Scruffy,” the farm mascot. Scruffy ran off with a tom from a neighboring farm shortly after my mother and I gave her a “makeover” with clippers, scissors and more than a couple tissues. We’re calling it a success.

Anyway, here’s the full video hot off the press. YouTube was kind enough to allow the Django soundtrack, and honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way. It just fits somehow. We hope you enjoy a peek into our hilltop paradise in the wilds of Iowa.. My fortress of solitude.
