taking time

Scholarship. A wonderful word. Encompasses so much.

I'm off the farm for a few days. To have some time for learning, thinking, conversations, writing. About agriculture. And women in farming. And the state of the Farm Bill. And food distribution. And more.

I'm on a scholarship, and appreciate the opportunity to be here. Had the best glass of orange juice this morning. This does not happen easily where I live.

And there are these too. 

So difficult to believe that is alive and not plastic. 

There is a bit of time before the conference sessions commence. I'll be watching pelicans, those grace and beauty defying birds, dine with friends and enjoy sunshine on skin.
