Jennifer rolls with the flow

National Park
Jennifer M. Perry,  Artistic Spirit and Astral Traveler, joined us for 2 months.

Harmony Hill was her first farm.

A quick learner, a lover of animals and the outdoors she soon became a valued HelpXer and adopted family member.

She is relaxed, flexible, easygoing and happy.  

She over lapped with Ka Hei,  Rob, Chad and Oscar, getting on well with all.

We trusted her to care for the farm while we were away on two occasions.  She is a very creative cook who uses whatever is growing outside or in the fridge.  My two favorites were a wheat free chicken pot pie and celery soup.

Therese came over and taught her to shoot squirrels and it turns out she is dead eye shot, her first time shooting.
Shooting squirrls
Jennifer sensitive and intuitive.  One day on a walk she felt something looking at her.  We looked up and there was indeed a huge owl high in a tree looking down on us in broad day light.  I would not have spotted him hidden in the tree top.

While here she started exercising everyday loosing about 15 lbs and growing stronger.  She went to a cattle round up, bunco, and a party or two.  We wish her joy on her continued adventures and healthy living.

Ka Hei

Enjoying some of Ka Hei's fabulous Noodle Soup Hong Kong sytle
 Good times and good food with Ka Hei an environmental sciences student at UC Berkeley, from Hong Kong.  Ka Hei loved to cook and shared some of his grandmother's recipe as well as his own.

He was here with both Jennifer and Rob.  Rob was studying petroleum science and it was interesting to hear them discuss
fracking and extracting vs protecting the air earth.

He loved the animals and learned to milk a goat and groom a horse.

He brought his Ukelele and  patiently taught me the the rest of the song that Emma started teaching me.  He accompanied me to Aptos on his way back to school making the long ride much more enjoyable.  We hope to see him again.
