Here are some more pictures of the things I've done in the first few days:
Desert Hike
I planted seeds into dirt I made!
Making a raised bed garden
New friends! (We used food scraps to make the raised beds - they STANK!)

Hi Katie!
Girl, you are amazing! I will live vicariously through these postings.
Where are you going in India? I have a good friend who is a native of Calcutta, if you need any tips.

Hi Katie! We couldn't help but laugh at the idea of you paying good money to do yardwork - you could have done it for free here!
Love you!
Hey Katie,
Wow,wait a minute..you went to Israel to do gardening and composting. Do I have an idea here for you in Lancaster!!
Sounds like there's so much going on at the Kibbutz. Are you able to smile with the early rising? I'm impressed!!!
Luv,
Dad
