Y'all, I have tried to upload my video to the TubesYou at least three times now. The internet here is a struggle. I'm trying again tonight. Cross your fingers. Believe me, I haven't forgotten.

Today Erica and I worked on installing the firewood rack she and Alana designed and built the frames for last week. We got 85% done before lunch. So close! After lunch I met with Paul for a while and coordinated with Lara about projects and whatnot going on around here. Productive and positive meetings.

--

Chris and I recently discussed the need to reframe and refocus our thoughts and actions around here to lend more positivity to the projects. This has otherwise been a bit of a struggle for various reasons. But I feel like we have good momentum to continue in that direction and drag others along with us. :) Really, it's something that needed to happen because otherwise life is exhausting and nothing is enjoyable. That's not really how I want to live. I'd much rather be engaged and provide that momentum to move everyone forward together.

Today I worked on the design for the Cooper Cabin bathroom a bit this morning. After Chris finished digging up the water leak at the base of one of the hydrants, we ran to town to get a new part, drop off the cardboard recycling, pick up some food, and other odds and ends.

And since I was sitting right next to the router this morning while I was working, I was finally able to upload the video I've been promising for days now. Get your popcorn ready. It's super riveting. hahah.. :D

Chris dug such a deep hole he was barely able to get out of it. Luckily it was a literal hole this time.

So very thankful for gardening days. They help to slow things down and remind me to breathe.
