my uncle's garden.
my uncle and aunt have been warmly hosting me and helping me find good things to do while i'm here. being with them and getting to know them better and spending time with my cousins in the area has been a huge blessing.
on the weekends i've been working for my uncle at his nursery. it's been fun learning about the various kinds of plants and trees that he sells and helping walk-in customers find the kind of plants they are looking for.
on mondays and tuesdays i've been working on a small local farm that is focussed on organic growing methods, community building, and providing fresh foods locally. it's still a new farm just getting off the ground. i'm enjoying getting my hands dirty and my brow sweaty as we figure things out.

among some other random things i've been up to includes preparation to be part of an upcoming flash-mob dance. the one i'm participating in is nothing particularly impressive, but i've always wanted to be a part of one. i've never made a list of things to do by a certain age, but if i had, being in a flash-mob would have been a fun thing to include on it. i guess instead of writing a list of things to do, i'm just doing things and then maybe listing them later if i get the chance...
meanwhile, i'm still sorting out my short-term and long-term plans. being in a beautiful climate certainly helps me while i meditate on ideas for what's next. : )
flash mob...yeah, I want to do that one too.
