As many of you probably know, my time here in Wisconsin is
coming to a close. My last day of work is tomorrow, 8/16, and I will be flying
back to California early in the morning next Tuesday. Once I get out there I
will meet my friend Ivy who I worked with at Wolf Ridge. I’ll then grab my car
out of storage and drive her and myself up the mountain back to the ranch. I am
so excited for her to be working with me this year!
This summer has been an amazing learning and growth
experience for me. It does feel like home up here in the northwoods and I am
glad that I got to spend a few months here. I wish I could stay longer to see
the seasons shift, the hazelnuts become ready to eat, and the loons switch into
their winter plumage.
It will be hard to drive away from here, especially knowing
that my parents have likely sold their house up here that I have known for 23
years. However, I am excited to get back to California. My rambling bones are
ready to move again—and once I get done with the blastedly annoying packing I
will be happy to move on.
