I noticed today that we have PURPLE BASIL! How cool is that!? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well it's August 8th. I returned today from my two week vacation to Massachusetts and upstate New York where I spent some time in the Adirondacks. It's strange coming back for just one more week of work. I was in such a good groove all summer. Although it was exhausting, I had a good schedule I was keeping to. Now I'm out of it and trying to get back into it.
It's strange to know that I only have one full week left here and then the job of caring for this place will be passed on to the people living here spring semester. It's even harder to motivate myself to really care about the work I'm doing now that the end is so close. And it really is the end. The purpose of this place will change once the summer ends. It's goals will change. It will remain a living and learning place but there will be no going to farmers market and the students primary focus will be on school (as it should be). But even when I come and visit next semester, things will be different. Anyway, back to the point, it's hard to focus and really care.
Today Khal got stuck in the fence. He has this nasty habit of sticking his head through and because of his horns he can't get back out. I couldn't wriggle his head out so I ended up having to cut the fence. I thought for a moment about going to get my phone so that I could take a picture, but then I decided that he'd been out there stuck for too long already... so no picture. Sorry all. But trust me, it was pretty funny.
We have apples on some of our trees so I think I'll make some apple crumble tonight! Wish me luck. Maybe I'll blog about how it went. Maybe.
I hope you have a wonderful evening!

Ps- If you like music, here's something I just rediscovered today. Enjoy:
