Hey, sorry it's been so long. I've been swamped! You know the idyllic bike ride I wrote about early on? Well I've had some other feelings about it since. What might they be? It's exhausting, I can't handle it, O no, not again! That's just the way things go I guess. Everything's nice in small doses, but what is sustainable? That's the big question. Anyways, so I've changed it up a bit. I moved into a one room cabin in Brooke Valley, about fifteen minutes bike ride from the farm. Thank goodness Coral has been so generous to let me use her bike. It's really growing on me..
The cabin is beautiful. It's all wood, with a little sink, a wood stove, a nice big sittin' chair, and a simple, single bed. For the first time in my life I get to have a shelf full of mason chairs with grains, legumes, nuts and seeds. It's so beautiful, what a practical decoration! There is a wee pond just a few steps from the cabin which I did a little skinny dipping in the first night I was here. (shh..) It's nice to have wild water to bathe in. The downside is that I think mosquitoes really enjoy skinny dipping too and they tend to follow me home. I'm developing quite a collection of little tiny mosquito bodies. It's been hot here. At least during the day and then cooling off in the evenings. From what I here this is good, because once it's hot in the evenings it will be black fly season and there's no respite until August.
I'm still working on getting morning and evening chores figured out.. Tonight, for some reason the pigs decided they wanted to go in the back door of the barn and when they found the door was closed, they tried to come around the barn and one got all tangled up in a wheel barrow. I get pretty freaked out when the pigs do anything weird because they all way hundreds of pounds and are all muscle. When they have something on their mind, particularly food, nothing can get in their way. And yet, things seem to work out alright. So far anyways.
