June by the Numbers

This is Walter. He was rescued from a Walmart parking lot. Seems he came shopping underneath someone's car and made a break for it. He now lives on the farm. 

June brought a quick trip to the east coast. I made a quick road trip to New York for my mothers 75th birthday party. She was surprised and happy to see me. Family and friends came and it was a nice little reunion. 

Along the way I stopped in Ohio and dropped off the rocks I picked up in Utah. I won't make it to see them planted in Key Largo but I do hope to get down there to see them in the water. 

Time on the farm has been a rewarding, challenging, eventful experience.  I'm taking a break and heading back to Seattle.  Time to work, build up the savings account and catch up with Seattle. 

With the miles driven this month I have now done enough in one year to drive around the earth!

May by the Numbers

When I was recently traveling out west I came across an old Indian Site. I may have mentioned this before but one of the trail side signs talked about "Persistance Place".  A location that the people would return to frequently or occupy regularly. It was usually a location that had many of the resources that met their needs. It would seem I've found some persistance here on the farm and no need to move around this month.

Always some interesting clouds and weather. The farm is on a hill facing SW and oncoming storms. While its relatively hilly it's not to far to Oklahoma, Nebraska and tornado ally so lots of thunder storms rolling through.
