So, for various reasons, I decided to try doing some volunteer garden work at Veggielution--after nearly 2 years of dedicated volunteering at Full Circle Farm. Mostly, I just wanted a change of pace.
The two places couldn't be more different. One is huge (11 acres) and regimented into distinct, orderly sections. The other is significantly smaller and charmingly haphazard in its design. One has a few chickens in a coup, the other has birds of all kinds wandering around the premises, including peacocks! This week, I even got to see them show of their tail feathers. I'm not sure if it was the same bird or not, but I did see two open tails. Pretty cool!
The nice thing at both places is that I'm not totally responsible, but I still get delicious, fresh, organic produce to bring home. So it's all good all around. :-)

Ru Stuff
What's a Ru?
Ru is a shortened form of the word Guru. It was initially a derogatory term, coined by the "townies" of Fairfield Iowa, and used to refer the members of the Transcendental Meditation community. It has since been taken on by Rues, particularly second generation Rues, like me, as a way to describe ourselves. It has come to mean a person who practices TM and participates in the TM Movement, regardless of where they live. See Ru Stuff links for more info.
