Life Update

Well a lot has happened since my last post.  I quit my job.  That's right, for the meantime I am no longer the Goat Gal you all knew me as.  I'm a little relieved because hopefully this means people will stop greeting me with "how are the goats?", a question I never know how to answer ("fine?  they're goats?").

So I'm saying goodbye to Oregon for now and Hello Bay Area, returning to my roots to spend time with my close friends and family this summer, take some vacations and be (temporarily) funemployed.  I'm also playing with questions of "what's next?".  What else is out there?  I know I liked farming, I got a good idea of what it entails (although I've barely scratched the surface) between being the Plucky Peasant and being a Goat Gal.

Is farming something I would consider returning to?  Yes.  Would the circumstances have to be slightly different than they currently are?  Yes.  Until then, here are some things I would like to do this summer:

get back into art/photography/pick up where I left off
make stuff for people, make useful stuff
go kayaking with Rae, spend time in the Redwoods

go backpacking in the Sierra with Maya June

visit Camp Tawonga/go to the hot springs at Mammoth/Kibbie Lake backpacking trip

bike to farmers markets and eat tons of fresh fruits and veggies, cook with them

make fresh pasta, ravioli

make kombucha
get rid of lots of stuff, have a wardrobe that roxxx
keep up with everyone back in Oregon

go to breakfast with The Dogs (my parents friends)

hang out with Anya and Sophia in Bolinas

pick peaches in Brentwood

Road trip to LA

Spend time in Sonoma

lots of baseball games

take Roscoe everywhere (Chrissy Fields, Albany Bulb, Point Reyes)

make new friends

I will continue to blog from time to time as I have been, albeit under a new name. Hopefully I will be posting more photographs. I'd like to get back into shooting film in a seriously artful way. Maybe it will suck, who knows. Anyhow, I'll keep y'all posted. Until next time--
