Sort-of First Day

Today is the first days that groups are here. It feels a little strange to me, though. Here is why:

a.) We have had the farm to ourselves for two weeks and now all of a sudden there are a lot of other people wandering everywhere. I realize the whole reason we're here is to communicate about the farm to people, but it's like a bunch of random people just showed up at your house.

b.) We've all been together for two weeks with hardly a moment apart. It feels strange to be working more independently now.

c.) It feels weird, also, because everyone else is working and I am not. I was off Saturday and Sunday like the rest of the education team, but they're trying to get us in a more routine schedule for days off and mine will be Mondays and Tuesdays for now. So I get a four day weekend. Weird. So everyone else was nervous last night about their first day of groups and I still don't have to do anything until Wednesday.

d.) Relatedly, staying in, I miss all the farm drama. For instance, Henry the goat keeps escaping and I keep missing the excitement.

I guess that's all for now. Unless you want to see a picture of how brussel sprouts grow. Who knew?

  1. I had no idea about the brussel sprouts... And also Henry is a great name for a goat. :)

  2. Now that you've disclosed that Monday and Tuesdays are your days off, we will all be checking your blog (manically) on those days for updates!
