The Field

If I hop my back fence, I'm in the field.  When I was a kid, this was the vast, wild frontier.  My frontier.  My kingdom. 

Since then, the frontier's gotten smaller and I've been demoted.  Nowadays I'm relegated to the position of official trash collector.  I'm not the king anymore, but maybe the new job comes with a new and better title: Steward.  That's what I want to be -- a steward of the land.  I love this little field.

This log will chronicle my experiences in the field, and maybe some thoughts on related ecological subjects. I've also got all these pictures I've taken, and I'll try to scan and upload some.  It's only a small field, but a lot can happen there.
