I get tired of good-byes and lately that has been all my life is full of. I have said good-bye again to Baltimore as I ready for my transition back to farm life. Good-bye to my sister and her boyfriend as they travel west. Good-bye to my wonderful roommate of 3 months, who invited me back into my old home...giving me a wonderful space to be within my transition. Good-bye to my house which I do not think I will ever live in again. Good-bye to all the people who are my rocks in that funny city. Good-bye to farmers markets and Indian stores. Good-bye. Good-bye. Good-bye. I realize that these good-byes must be said, that in order to move and change and grow I must leave that wonderful world of people I love. I know that this path of life holds new life and yet today it is hard to think about new life. All I can hear is Good-bye.
Good-bye my wonderful friends. I hope you all know how incredibly important you are in my life.
My wonderful roommate...oh how grateful I am for laughter and long, long talks

You are missed already. :( (And your profile picture makes you look like a chicken!) :)
yes em....it was a strange day that picture was taken:)
well, my friend, you are missed. i got used to you being here & now it feels weird that you're not a few blocks away anymore... but I look forward to tales of your farming adventures in the coming months. enjoy! - j
oh, katie! i didn't know you were leaving!
we went into atwater's yesterday and i looked for your smiling face. we will miss seeing you around town, but look forward to reading about your journey towards making your heart full.
good luck to you.
love, kathleen (and paul and liam, too!)
best of luck on your new adventure. . .i know all about goodbyes and rootlessness and maybe that's why we're gardeners. we have to put roots down somewhere, even as we float like dandelion fluff, ready to set ourselves in yet another lawn.
elspeth is unpacking the kleenex with dispatch so i'd better run
