Topside GF

TSO,
Is it official-official?

Kt,
I left the Farm in November, after taking a full-time Children's Librarian position at a library in Northeast Ohio, not too too far from Cleveland. I miss the Farm like hell...it's in my blood and I struggle with a constant desire to get in my car and drive back, but thus far, have fought the urge for the past 8 weeks. I go back and forth in my mind: the desire to be in my beloved Midwest and close to my favorite brother and his growing family, and the urge to be working at or around the Farm. I have a huge list of things which I miss and can't find in Cleveland, but have promised to stay for a year (this because of my apt. lease) and then reevaluate my life.

Here are some of the things which I miss at GF:

• amazing and fascinating people who let me be their friends
• my huge garden (and dreaming of what I will plant--this helps get through the winter months
• the compost bucket)
• grocery shopping at Main House
• cooking and baking and spreading my GF love that way
• working with the guests
• walking around GF
• "Nature!" (said in my best Will Ferrel doing Robert Goulet voice)
• working and living in close proximity to so many friends
• there always being something going on
• the animals
