      Worldwide Organization for Organic Farming - it's an organization that sources volunteer farmers in different countries, they do labour for you, in exchange for room and board (and periodically a small stipend). I haven't done it in a decade, but it used to be super popular amongst young, hippie-type travelers who want to experience the world, but cheaply and on a local scale.

      I had mixed experiences doing it in India, but I would do it again elsewhere. If you remember Bjorn at all, she did it for YEARS. She just bummed around the US living farm to farm - sometimes staying at some places for six months or so.


      Mostly art.

        If you want to be thought intelligent, just agree with everyone.

            Dog sitting. We've currently got my bosses pup while the are away on vacation. He's a treat, he gets my two old men moving and a shaking.

            I had to rehome one of my chickens this past weekend. She I mean he started crowing last Wednesday. My little silkie rooster had the tiniest crows ever! But he was relentless once he started. Luckily him and his best hen went to live at my friends farm with her flock. I could have just sent him but decided since they were kind enough to give him a good home and spoil him rotten I could part with a hen that would be laying soon as well and help pay his room and board.

            I got my first zucchini out of the garden with the promise of more of them and squash. Cucumbers and okra might be quick to follow, and my proudest accomplishment is my two corn stalks I planted! I've got like 2 ears of corn!! Next year I'll add another 4x8 bed and add carrots, cabbages, and broccoli to it. My asparagus should be old enough to start cutting next year but I'll wait and see.

              Life itself was a lightsaber in his hands; even in the face of treachery and death and hopes gone cold, he burned like a candle in the darkness. Like a star shining in the black eternity of space.

              Yoda: Dark Rendezvous

              "But those men who know anything at all about the Light also know that there is a fierceness to its power, like the bare sword of the law, or the white burning of the sun." Suddenly his voice sounded to Will very strong, and very Welsh. "At the very heart, that is. Other things, like humanity, and mercy, and charity, that most good men hold more precious than all else, they do not come first for the Light. Oh, sometimes they are there; often, indeed. But in the very long run the concern of you people is with the absolute good, ahead of all else..."

              John Rowlands, The Grey King by Susan Cooper

              "You come from the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve", said Aslan. "And that is both honour enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor on earth; be content."

              Aslan, Prince Caspian by CS Lewis
