And a small cabin build there,
of clay and wattles made:
Nine bean-rows will I have there,
a hive for the honey-bee,
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.
And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes
dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the mourning to
where the cricket sings;
There midnight's all a glimmer, and noon a
purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet's wings.
I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,
I hear it in the deep heart's core.
The Lake Isle of Innisfree by William Butler Yeats

Hello Lisa,
what do you know of Phyllosticta leaf spot on Magnolias? A fellow blogger is trying to save her very special magnolia.
Hi,
I am going to do a three month internship at Innisfree Farm beginning May 1st. I just wanted to contact you to see if you had any advice for someone in my place. Great pictures on the blog by the way! I am very excited for my internship; Innisfree looks like such an amazing place! I would greatly appreciate any advice you have as to what to expect, what to bring, etc.
Thanks!
Emily
