It stinks mostly because I wrote up this LONG post, and Blogger decided to eat it. Thanks for nothing, you big stinky-butt. I hope rocks fall on your head!
So, basically, this is the condensed version. I posted a comment to High Hopes Gardens, which sounded a little something like this:
"Hey there High Hopes Gardens!
I'm Coloratura, a student at USC, currently writing essays about sustainableagriculture and the negative impact of "corporate farms" and such on the environment. I stumbled across your blog while looking for blogs that were relevant to my research subject, which is sustainable farming. And, therefore, small farms! :) So, I just had a couple "practical"-type questions for you, just due to increased curiosity from my latest project, I hope they're not too silly for you!
Anyway, I was just curious about the "practicality" of farming; I mean, you havethree children, how do you school them? Homeschooling seems a little too time-consuming, on top of running a farm, although it also seems difficult to commuteto and from a school, if you live far from it. And, what do you do in your free time? I mean, do you ("you" being collective for your family) have enough free time on the farm to take up any hobbies?
Sorry for all the curiosity; being a city-girl my whole life, your farm sounds absolutely incredible, and I'd love to hear more about how everyday life is there. :) Thanks so much for writing your blog, it's a fascinating read!
Best of luck to you with the fires, we've been having some of those in Californialately as well, and they're no fun at all!! I hope everyone stays safe. :)
~Coloratura"

In closing, I am angry at Blogger. Because it ate my post. >:[ Grr.
