chapter 4






hello to all you peoples out there! today was a very slow day cause last night was a glorious thunderstorm. which was quite nice because we happen to sleep in a loft that is directly under a tin roof, so thems cats and dogs coming down made quite a beautiful ruckus for us to cozy down with, so much so that i slept 12 minutes past my alarm, so the 80 or so chickens were let out a bit late and fed late. they happily cluck on. so yes, the thunderstorm caused quite a flood in and around the surrounding pasture lands so we had to move the donkey and some of the sheep and goats to a place that wasnt flooded, that was certainly a tough job because they didnt want to do this, there was a lasso involved. so yes, all work halted today because the garden had a lot of standing water and elsewhere were lakes also. so today aimee and i just cleaned the harvest house, which is where they prepare their csa boxes. i had a lengthy talk with the owner of this farm scott the physicist and aimee and i get to visit his lab at some point. now i am just drinking a guinness and hanging with the other wwoofers doing a crossword and aimee is playing the guitar. here are some various photos. unfortunately i did not take any pictures of the flooding, maybe tomorrow i will, it will still be there. much love i miss all of you very much! peace.
