Catching up with Nora from Sunrise Farms reminded me why I consider myself so lucky to have gone to school in New England for the brief four years I've spent here. The obvious celebration of community as exemplified by Vital Communities and the wonderful people who work here tirelessly to support it like Melissa, Debbie, and Lisa come together each year in this high school gymnasium to meet again after time apart similar to a high school semester break.
Nora learned about weaving this winter during the off season at Sunrise. Her table held yarn and fabrics from her farm made from lessons learned off the farm. New CSA shareholders and equally hungry piglets and sheep await her now since spring is here. I visited a friend's weaving factory in Maine during the last spring break I'll ever have here in New England before I head out to live in new places. Flavors of the Valley and any reunions with most of the people in that gymnasium confirm my belief that one of the best things about journeys and trips away from home are new friends who becomes old friends that serve as notes from new homes once you leave them eventually.
