So it's been over two months since I seriously posted to my blog. That's kind of too bad. It's hard to post regularly when I spend so little of my time alone. Blog posting is really a loner activity. So is e-mailing. Which also explains why I have been e-mailing so little. So much of my spare time is spent doing worthwhile things with other people, and there never seems to be a shortage of worthwhile things to do with them. So where's the incentive to post to my blog? The only reason I'm posting now is because nobody happens to be around this evening. Sorry, I'm afraid it's just the way it is now.
It's storming outside. The landscape is perfectly beautiful right now, with the colourful maples and sunflowers still abloom. We have 200 chicks in the new building, and two terribly discracting kittens there too. We picked thousands of winter squash today - butternut, acorn, delicata, kabocha, turban, buttercup, and spaghetti. We lifted hundreds of those heavy squash bins into the cube van, and lifted them again into the greenhouse. Luckily we had the help of about a dozen high school students who come regularly to Everdale for a co-op credit. They also sped up the harvest of beets and leeks for the CSA pick-up tomorrow. It was a very productive day. The gusty winds and warm sunshine were invigorating; the first time I worked shirtless in many weeks.
I'd really like to have a very easy way of posting photos to my blog. There are so many I've been wanting to post, but it's always such a hassle to do it. If I figure something out, I'll let you know.
Just over a month to go until the end of the internship...
