Well... I just remembered that this was a thing.
Life is constantly changing.
Living in Cobb feels like routine.
Spending time in Bauman once the sun has set is normal.
Having dirty hands and walking a fair amount each day.
I am tying up loose ends here, mostly physically by packing and fidgeting around with my stuff.
No idea what this weekend will be like - like life really.
The deer antler ring, yellow and black bracelet, the brown and grey bracelet, and the bale twine anklet are the only accessories I wear everywhere.
Today when I met with Gaither I was wearing non farmy clothes during the day,
and it felt bizzare.
I packed books, food, and layers in my new purple back pack and do not have a plan of when to return to Cobb this weekend, I am going to see what happens.
The crop rotation chart is something I must do.
I anticipate watching some Sherlock tonight with Lucas, Rachel, Eli (visiting!), and Lilie. :)
I am a big fan of how often I have warm socks on. Mostly a fan of the socks. My feet do miss being barefoot but they are staying warm and are awfully clean.
There are things in my near future I am looking forwad to and there are things in my near future I am not looking forward to.
-Vince gets back; 1 or 2 nights before I leave Guilford
-meeting up with D'vorah to catch up (how are things...?) and exchange iPad for money
and much more.
-hearing back from Simon Bradwell
-booking my flight
People I have been thinking about, talking to, and or seeing over the past few days/week include: Lucas Albright, Rachel, Lilie, Vince, Jonv Macemore (so much of Jon/farming buddy), James Wilde, Nikiah, Jacob Adams, Frank, Gaither, Mum, Dad, Grandmom McN, Patty (from Embercombe), my sister
On the desk in front of me I have a tub with some bread (which I made during the semester and froze) and half an advovado (which I dumpstered with Molly and Lucy), and a tub of butternutsquash and pepper soup (which I made from rescued squashed over the semester and froze.) I have been eating a lot of beef jerky lately. It is a special treat :)
I could write more but I am going to stop now. (Maybe next time I come I will remember my camera cord and can put some pictures here.)
Since the last post (11/20)...
I completed my 3rd semester at Guilford. (Got better grades than ever before though my gpa is still too low to create my own major...)
Spent a week or so in Florida with Vince -- good times, strange times, -- glad it happened. Love him.
Rode from FL - PA with Aunt Heather and Uncle Chris.
Was in West Chester with family from 12/22 - 1/2.
From Jan 3 until now I have been full time farming at Guilford with Jon Macemore. (Korey is supposed to get back tomorrow. I am looking forward to seeing him.)
A week from today is my last night at Guilford for a while.
...time in West Chester (time with family, time with friends, packing, mentally prepping...)
mid February - mid August lots of learning, excitement, challenge, growth, hard work, communication, love, and memories.
