I'm back from the wilds of the farm (for awile at least).  I'm glad to have heat and running water and all those good things.  I really learned a lot and did things I didn't expect to do and saw things I didn't expect to see. 
The farmers were endearing, almost all of them missing teeth, in how proud they were of their apple trees and tractors.  You ( Read more... )

Things at the farm have been going pretty well.  The only problem is that the season is ending soon and they don't do much over the winter.  I'm going to have to find something else.

I like eating the food they grow, it's all organic and good, lots of herbs, vegetables, i even eat  the lamb and the mutton.   The only thing I couldn't handle was ( Read more... )

I'm leaving tonight for the farm.  I'm nervous and excited about it.  The people seem relaxed, nice, calm.

Last night/morning I had a real life COPS encounter.  Kids had gone through neighbors' unlocked cars and stolen change and such. they didn't get away with much, they did rifle through my car which I had non-chalantly parked on the street with the windows rolled down. 
Later, this was a while after they had left, I sort of woke up. I heard my mother ( Read more... )

I've been lazy about my journal here as everything else, but there is not much for me to write except how miserable I think I am.  I do read other people's journals, but I'm not a very good commenter.  I think if there is something you don't like about yourself you should try to change it and not complain, which I'm trying to do.  I am running with ( Read more... )
