Well, I have found myself back in the vastness of the Great Plains. I finished my internship on a slightly sad note (read: fully experiencing the cycles of life and death that can be found in a farm setting). Working a season on an organic farm taught me so much about farming, but also about myself. I learned that I have the ability to endure long hours without a break, that I can work in conditions that are in no way ideal (ie: pouring rain, freezing temperatures, high heats, and so on), and lastly that I can witness the passing (or harvesting . . .) of animals that I helped raise. I feel confident that I can run my farm thanks to this experience, and I hope to do just that within a few years. But, like I said I am now back in good ol' Nebraska for the time being, meaning I'll have the spare time to update my humble blog more often. That is when I am not perusing Pinterest . . . :)
