From Slave #2: Michael
Today was yet another pleasantly and surprisingly warm day. Knowing there are multiple feet of snow on the ground where we came from, the balmy afternoons are cherished. The nights, as well, seem to be warming up. We planted several fruit trees today, only after clearing a large bed of weedy grass, affectionately know as ‘bastard grass’. Some time was also spent weaving young mimosa stalks around a frame, slowly building a shield around the outdoor bathtub. We are very excited about the final product of this project.
The other projects on the farm are slowly coming together. Trellis mending will never cease, so it feels, but hopefully by the time we leave we can proudly say they will be ready for the growing season. The chicken shed is nothing but a hole in the ground but tomorrow, apparently, we will begin laying a foundation. We–and Sophie agrees–think we might miss the company of the chickens and geese that constantly peck and waddle about the “yard” near the house.
As you can see, life crawls on here at Quinta Das Ablehas.
Stumble it!
