Catching a ride into town which means rare downtime... time for brk! Today was housekeeping. It is so sunny and beautiful, almost 70 degrees.
Lots of planning and reorganizing of the bootcamp this week. Leadership, facilitation, scheduling. It’s an interesting community experiment to be a part of, but I’m having a really good time, even through the ups and downs, at figuring it all out and finding what works, what doesn’t, what pisses people off, what feeds their souls. But it takes a lot of
energy, and I’ve found my mornings a real struggle recently; unsticking my eyelids to the sound of my alarm has been especially painful over the past few weeks. Which means... time to detox and go to bed earlier.
The tour was great last weekend. I learned a lot and met some really cool people, one who came all the way from Portland for the occasion, and even though it was cold and drizzling, I was proud of the boots for preparing so well for the tour and I had a good time enjoying the effects of our hard work.
I watered my
hugel a whole bunch on Monday, and planted some more seeds. I found a few tiny cotyledons coming up! Erica has a bunch on her side. The kittens helped us as usual, playing in the sun and supervising our efforts.
Yesterday was full office but very productive... one of those On the Ball days where the more I get done, the more I realize I have to do until I’m trying to do 35 things at once and can’t keep it all straight anymore...
Observation for Design is going well; it’s a great
class, but being so tired has made it difficult to keep up with the readings. But it’s so interesting, and such fundamental knowledge. We ate delicious pupusas while we listened to our classmates tell excellent nature stories from their observation sessions.
Today is town errands and housekeeping. And tonight is our next stained glass class. We sketched our designs over the weekend — it was super fun to get in the artistic zone and attempt to draw perfectly even hexagons for my bee design.
Enjoy photos of the past few days!
