My Great Grandmother Was a Dirt Mage

Like my great grandmother, John descended from a lengthy line of farm folk who survived by learning how to read the signs of the heavens. I affectionately refer to them as “Dirt Mages.” Their wizard caps are John Deere hats, their tunics long-sleeved plaid shirts, their servants Massey Ferguson tractors, and their grimoire the Farmer’s Almanac.
