I think maybe the worst thing we have done to ourselves in this era is inventing the nonstop opinion machine and spending time on it every day

I remember the time I met a girl from Durham and was like oh, Durham! And she understandably was like what have you heard about Durham? And I said oh it’s just that Jeremiah Dixon was from there. Of the Mason-Dixon Line. Which I know because of Mark Knopfler and James Taylor’s song Sailing to Philadelphia. Um anyway

you really have to love and appreciate and inhabit your body because the rest of the entire world is going to be SO weird about it

I have lived such a rich and beautiful life…and I would not have said that 5 years ago

I feel very myself in shorts and boots and a big jacket that dwarfs me

okay I finally learned something extremely useful today about growing tomatoes in the poly tunnel…from a fellow wwoofer who just came from a different farm instead of from my host, but I’ll take it. I made a whole diagram in my journal. Collecting knowledge

my host on this farm has lately been saying all kinds of wildly, confidently incorrect things. The other day he said “no this isnt decaf coffee. It’s whole beans” and I realized he thought decaf coffee came as a powder. And I guess was unrelated to the coffee bean at all.
