hello from vermont!
i now live here on the farm with 5 of my very nice co-workers and over 100 chickens. mostly my life here has looked like work, and then the feeling of being tired from work and the brain power it takes to absorb an abrupt change of environment. slowly but surely, i am adapting and settling in!
spring here so far appears to be winter, just with more mud. i have spent many of my working and leisure hours stomping and squelching through a variety of mud textures and consistencies. already one of the great pleasures of living here is the hundreds of acres of woods and hills and trails right out my back door.... they are filled with many beautiful instances of moss and lichen as you may gather from my collage.
if i may be controversial for a second, vermont is a beautiful state! i am moved by tall mountains and old homes and wide fields and rivers and main streets. this will be the third place that i have moved to as an adult, and it's weird and exciting and overwhelming to think of how each time i do, i compound the amount of very good people in my life that i know and intend to keep knowing, who live out of any easy proximity. a hole i continue to dig myself deeper and deeper into! i regret to report there is no solution on the horizon, but as holes go... i suppose it could be much worse.
love,
isabel
