What I am learning

1. Living in a community is work.
2. It may in fact be worth the work as long as the people are great (which they are)
3. I can get along with anyone who likes Pete Seeger
4. Electricity is overrated
5. Some people can weave baskets and some people can't

The sun came out yesterday. We sat in the swamp water hot tub and wood burning sauna. It was the perfect end to a stressful day.

It seems like the sunny days we spend less time working and more time soaking up rays (it's sunny less than 60 days a year). That would be all good, but that means we save all the hard work for the rainy days when I slip on stumps and get damp and grouchy. We have been lading huge stumps and chipping and splitting them. Tough work. It makes me feel good.
