walkabout (June-July)

Throughout most of the spring and early summer, we did a once a week walkabout of the farm, with Mark commenting on upcoming projects while one of the apprentices took notes. It was one of my favorite parts of the week, because even though it yielded a useful to-do list, the two-hour event still felt to me like a luxurious educational experience.

Also, one of the only times of the week where I felt totally unselfconscious about taking photos.
