The first thing I learned after Pony left was that farmers don't have time for banjos and that the hard day's work never ends. The language you learn to speak with the animals doesn't stop being spoken when the sun goes down. No matter the hour, each quack, cluck, whinny or bleat has to be analyzed and answered to.
The whole experience was so surreal. The darkness, the novelty, the movie-like setting gave the whole evening a dreamy quality that was hard to shake. Yet the feelings, the friendships that were already forming, the thrill of shimmying down mine-shafts and up rickety, wooden ladders, that all felt real. Refreshingly real.
Catherine's story is incredible. She's an environmental warrior, a mountain queen, a wild soul, an intelligent mind -- she recounts tales like an ancient orator and can make you laugh until you cry.
