This past weekend I labored under the impression that our entire internet for our neighborhood was broken, but in fact it’s most likely the wireless router for the upstairs part of the house. Now that I realize this I feel silly for not posting sooner and posting twice in a row. But as I [...]

Orientation year is now over, but I still have a few workshops left to visit. One of them was cooking at home. While Pele is on vacation, Froud and I are trading cooking duties. Froud used to cook in the mornings, but when the head of the seed garden wanted him to be full [...] Tuesday was supposed to be our earliest start yet in the garden and had I gotten to the garden on time it would have been. Instead I turned my alarm off instead of hitting snooze and fell back to sleep. I woke a half hour late and thus I was a half hour late [...] Last week had small abnormalities like doctor appointments, birthday parties and roasting marshmallows on a week night and then it had it’s large abnormalities like tearing up a portion of the backyard to put in a small vegetable garden. Easter Egg Radishes I started digging my bed Thursday evening. I traced the outline of [...] Mystery Plant and tomato plants Wednesday night Miss Whatsit and I stole* food. The best kind of food.

This meant that the five full time gardeners woke up and got to the vegetable garden around 7 AM. First we harvested the asparagus, which had been damaged by the hard frost we’d received sometime [...] The highlight of the week was definitely Wednesday, and not only because it was Cinco de Mayo. I was invited to Arbutus for lunch by Miss Whatsit. Bella and Clark are their two regular lunch guests, and Gaia had also been invited for lunch. Miss Whatsit, who is not vegetarian, cooked a great vegetarian [...] Amy, a sweet natured cow On Tuesday afternoon I worked on the farm in place of Orientation Year. I’d been looking forward to working on the farm because it’s the last land workshop I had to visit and even though it smells like dozens of animals use it as a toilet (because they [...] |
