After A long break

Well I'm back.

It's been a long break since I last wrote. The time between has been filled with good times, challanges, goodbyes, and new beginnings. At the end of August I left Oregon and returned to California. It was the end of my apprenticeship at Horsepower Organics and I felt mixed beening so excited to return to California and my sweetheart Rain but also sad about leaving all that I learned to love and enjoy, the still morning, the quiet work of the horses, and the satisfaction of the work I was completing. The last weeks and days in Oregon were a blur of haying, garden work and horse work. When I returned to California I was reunited with my sweatheart and we moved into my parents house as temporary measure while we looked for housing. Rain started her job working as an enviromental educator at Westminster Woods in the redwood hills of west sonoma county while I started looking for a job in my native sonoma. I was lucky to find a lead with the sonoma compost company and secured a job with them where I am now working full time selling compost and educating the public as I answer there questions. It is an ironic twist that after two years of working as the compost coordinator at UCSC I again when myself working with compost for my living. Rain and I have also been pursuing a farming opportunity at the Ocean Song land trust and have made the permilinary steps and first meetings. Wish us the best as we move forward with this. I have also been taking a Beekeeping class through the local JC and have signed up to recieve two nuclus colonies or nucs this spring which I am excitedly awaiting. Rain and I are also taking a tango class together and having a lot of fun with it. We have also, thanks to Rains hard work and persistance, found a great cottage just outside of the town of Occidental which we will be moving into shortly. And that is that for now as more happens I'll be sure to post.
