Creative fun on pizza night as these friends and their dog picked grapes, apples and basil from the farm. They ran the ingredients through the juice press on site and made the most quenching awesome drink with lots of fun and laughter. Also, we are celebrating National Dog Day. More grapes to pick.

We are excited to host this annual event again this Wednesday. From our former career path and travels, Julie and I have come to understand the importance of embracing all cultures and as Rick Steves, international travel guide, says, ""Ideally, travel broadens our perspectives personally, culturally, and politically. Suddenly, the palette with which we paint the story of our lives has more colors." We welcome the international students and professors back to SDSU.

Farmer Bill and Julie, aka Bumpa and Nana just hosted their own family gathering at the farm these last 10 days. To get all four families together is a rarity but it was a blast playing games, eating, dancing in the barn, pizza night, fishing, drones, family yoga and chat with Old Turtle and more.
But the magic was hanging out with the three grandchildren, helping with the chores, feeding the goats, chickens, working in the gardens, making fairy houses and doing pottery. And to top it off a very special gift from a great friend, Noi Reinike, who wrote a children's book about the farm and grandkids and presented it to the family with lots of tears and laughter.
Now that the farm is quiet, (except for wedding dances 🥳), Bumpa and Nana are already deeply missing their family and grandchildren so come to pizza night tonight and cheer up Bumpa and Nana.

August Farm Story;
It’s early morning on the farm, the grass is wet with dew, the sun has not yet broken the horizon but it’s starting to get light. The fog is moving in across the prairie like a giant ocean wave that is crashing onto the beach. One can feel the fog/wave as it is so thick it diffuses the morning light that emits an eerie, mystical feeling.
Farmer Bill is in his happy space with Old Turtle out in the meditation circle. Now, if you are new to these monthly farm stories, you can read the back stories on social media but in short, Old Turtle is a storytelling rock on the farm. Ha, yup…that seems kind of funny/weird but as Farmer Bills gets older, he has learned some things aren’t as they seem to be. That might be a quote/lyrics from the Okee Dokee boys.
Anyway, the conversation with Old Turtle turned to “little wonders” as she is covered with these little sparkly/glittery things that one must really slow down and gaze to see. It forces one to ask, “how did these sparkles get there” and “how long have they sparkled and why” and “what are they made of” and the questions and wonders start to flow.
The sense that these “little wonders” emit causes something deep inside to produce a fleeting sense of awe and then frisson happens. Frisson is the fancy name for goosebumps. So, when you are out at the farm for pizza, feel free to saunter around and experience some “little wonders”. Start with Old Turtle, she would be happy to guide you.
