Day 73  [timing]
2023.08.16 Wednesday, afternoon entry

Pump house day!

New boot L arrives with enthusiasm for helping and a spark for enjoying nature/permaculture/life.. a good time for me to take notes..

New boot R arrives with also an enthusiasm for helping and an efficiency mode level 2.. he likes to combine one task to become to outcomes.. I e earning BB’s while doing boot stuff.. today he helps with cob and earns a cob BB.. awesome time for me to take notes here as well..

I’m still weaning off of my funk from who knows what.. intuitions whispering “slow down.. enjoy the moment..” which has lost most of its meaning to me.. but which makes me wonder if I ever had a “joie d’vivre” (sp?) ever.. not sad, just curious..

L peels the final log member.. there’s a third of a BB there.. if he felled the tree and peeling was the whole tree, I believe a whole BB would be available ;)

Day 74  [timing]
2023.08.17 thursday, morning entry

Had me a chance to browse ace hardware
What a great store
Also had some good me time
Wednesdays are a good mid week moment for really touching base with self
Check in to take deep breaths
Ask what wants to grow
What needs watering
What song is good to sing

Hey Dez, I'm not keeping up like I should.  Is that Mr. Bean, or Ms. Bean.
