Sun

Today was a little warmer than yesterday. Actually the sun shined all day so it was a natural mood lifter. The total number of wwoofers is down to four, but will be down to three this weekend, before going back up. Mornings here begin with a slice of bread and some home made jelly, fig, and tea or coffee as you prefer. Everyone makes it to the table as the please, although Carla and Gunda are up around 6 30 to get the kids ready and off to school. Once they leave we all get up, and then as we eat we get a task list for the day. This morning we cleaned and then I helped Drew Feed the horses, while Zabeth and Molly started in on some basic wood garden clean up. Like I said its tough to find our place here, mostly because there have been many people in and out. Plus as always, we are but babies when it comes to the inner workings of this farm. So we have to learn how to do the routine all new. Combine that with trying to connect with two new people, who are at the same time trying to connect with not just us, but many people, and raise two kids and run a farm. It doesn't come quick, but thanks to the sunshine and some conversation with each other things are getting a little smoother with each hour, like we learn where the dishes go, and where the wood pimple for the fire is. Today though after the beautiful morning we ate spaghetti for lunch. Lunch is a little later because the kids come home from school around two,and they don't eat there so we wait for them and all eat together. It was so nice that we ate outside. Then z and d took a ten minute nap, woke up, and walked down to the beach. We sat there and talked about the need for adaptation, survival of the fittest, and what we would tell people at dinner parties when we got home. It was a good day!
