This morning started off with a long walk with the little one (Chapito), taking some time to enjoy the quiet and get the day started right.
After that, I continued working on some chop and drop along the drive, cleaning things up and working with the materials already provided by the land. It’s always rewarding seeing how small actions add up over time.
Once that was wrapped up, I headed over to the Fischer Price House for the cleaning blitz. There is something satisfying about taking a space that has been used and lived in and bringing it back into order.
After the cleaning was finished, I made my way over to the Abbey and spent some time continuing work on the junkpole panels. Slowly but surely, the pieces are coming together, and it’s been a great learning experience working with natural materials and traditional methods.
By the afternoon I headed back to basecamp to unwind and recharge. The rest of the day was spent writing letters, journaling, and reading.
Another day of physical work, skill building, and taking time to reflect on the journey. One day at a time, one project at a time.
