Farm Livin'





I've made it to the Santa Cruz area, twenty miles north of the city. I've been staying with the fine people of Green Oaks Creek Farm. BDog and I followed Lindsey down from Marin County this past Wednesday, and the time has been full of adventures. After a quick tour of the property, we were put to work weeding some of the organic vegetable beds. The folks on the farm have been very patient and have allowed us to help transplant, harvest veggies, and even milk the goats. Brendon doesn't get along with the goats, I think its because they have such creepy eyes.

Udi, Lindsey, Eytan and I went to Ano Nuevo Beach and witnessed an amazing wildlife display. Elephant seals are battling for the role of Alpha male to win the harem of females in order to keep his genes in the pool. These big burly males were fighting ferociously. We sneaked up super close to the group all while pelicans were diving for fish and a little otter was eating supper.

I have decided to stay this week and spend some more time pretending to be a farmer. Bdog loves smelling the chickens and horses. Now, if I could only get him to stop barking at the goats.
