Now that life has settled down some, I can relax and think about what I want to write. There is quite about to write about. I don't really know where to start.
I guess I could start with the most recent thing. The Wisconsin Valley Fair.
The Fair is a busy time for the 4-H office. There is so much happening and going on. The Fair is a great chance for 4-H youth to show off when they've been working on and learning about for the past year. Its an opportunity for them to start thinking about what they want to do next year.
In between all the elephant ears, cheese curds, and baked potatoes, I had a chance to walk around and look at some of the projects the youth had done. I saw many paintings and drawings that just looked absolutely beautiful. I saw foods that looked delicious. I saw welding projects what were far better than I could ever hope to achieve. I saw models that took all the patience in the world. I saw cows that looked so cared for. Sheep that were sheared nicely; pigs that looked comfortable. I saw horses that were pampered. I saw all the hard work that the 4-H youth put into their projects. I was impressed with it all.
So now I'm preparing for my last week as a VISTA. Over the next few days I will be reflecting about my time here and I will write about it next week.
Until Then!
