hello Internet. this is strange for me. I've been blogging for many years although i suppose it is more like an online diary. I've never blogged with a theme or expecting anyone to actually read it. I'm super excited though! this summer I'm volunteering at Everdale Organic Farm and Environmental Learning Centre in Hillsburg Ontario, about an hour west of Toronto. my time here has been wonderful and i have learnt so much about organic farming, alternative energy, and myself. i was to live sustainably and i want to be self sufficient. I'm not sure how i get from here to there but this blog will be a place for me to work out all my ideas. to dream and scheme about everything from straw bale construction to heirloom tomatoes!
the goats and chickens need feeding (and I've been working since 6am!) but expect posts on my thoughts on meat, and step by step instructions to making raw goat's milk cheese!

Salad Days
The name of my blog, Salad Days was coined by Shakespere in the play Antony and Cleopatra. It refers to the idealism of youth. It has evolved to also mean the time in ones life when they are at the peak of their abilities. I am idealistic, passionate and at a critital time in my life where the decisions I make now will shape the rest of my life. I am truly living out my Salad Days.
C'est Moi

Sounds like an interesting time will be had. Once I get Teacher's College done and start teaching, I'd love to do something similar during my summer months off. Yeah, one of many highly idealistic plans for my summer vacations. But when the time comes, feel free to give me a kick in the pants if I'm not following through...
Salad days, love the double farm/shakespeare meaning
