"A farm is a manipulative creature.  There is no such thing as finished.   Work comes in a stream and has no end. There are only the things that must be done now and things that can be done later.   The threat the farm has got on you, the one that keeps you running from can until can't, is this: do it now, or some living thing will wilt or suffer or die. It's blackmail, really." Kristin Kimball The Dirty Life: On Farming, Food, and Love
