Roofed
clarity
[info]thiscafe
Today we finished re-roofing the shed/cottage, which has not been easy, considering the amount
of rain we've had.

Tomorrow, taking a day for rest, then finish building the new floor and start painting the interior.

When all of this is done, we are going kayaking. Rain or no rain.

Morning's Chi Gong

Morning's chi gong's sound,
three cranes pose silently--
the pond reflects their moves

they translate words
to body's motion--
wings sweep the air

berkshire mountains contain
the scene--
cup the watered memory

music floats, as do they,
across this day's unfolding grace--
fairie elements compose.

Yard and College
clarity
[info]thiscafe
Got a lot done yesterday.
Seeds planted, 4 sections of fence up and
gate installed.

Today we continue working in the yard.
More seeds to plant and three planting shelves
to build on the side porch.

Cooler today. High 59, but will be pleasant
for the work at hand.

This evening a college class comes to
see our house and talk about living a
mythic life. We'll read from some of
our books.

Gardening Continued
clarity
[info]thiscafe
Garden work is going fine. LOTS of leaves raked up and out of the way.

The art doors are moved to a corner of the garden fence;
straight, square &, and plumb.

Periods of cookie eating and coffee sipping between tasks.

Garden Work
clarity
[info]thiscafe
Just got back from buying 37 plants,
so of course tonight it's going down to
32 degree here. :-)

Tonight they will live on our sealed
porch and stay warm.

Plenty to still do in the garden.
Also building the framework to
go around a mold-form pond,
so that it can have a bench/shelf
to go around 3 sides of it.

Ah, spring.

Working in the yard, raking old leaves,

We had to move the kayaks in order to

Totemic Presence

[info]thiscafe
Well, didn't make that walk, but did manage
to get to the bookstore and cafe.

Bought three books and a 15 CD audio book
for $29. Had a grilled cheese sandwich with
Dijon mustard and tomato, chips, and coffee.

Also looked through our own new book, that
arrived just before we headed out.

It's called "Totemic Presence". The link
will give you a preview of our book.

Rain

With a rain filled day, looks like we'll not garden
as we first planned.

Plenty do inside and later a jaunt out to the
cafe & bookstore. Since it's a light rain, probably
a walk on the boardwalk as well.

Garden

Got the other two railings in, trimmed out two posts,
and trimmed two branches over-hanging the garden.

Two more garden planting shelves to go, a platform
for the garden screen tent, and the wooden walkways.

Nice to have a day of strong sunshine and temps climbing.

Continuing to work on the porch. The overhead trellis is up.
Today we put the siding, where the porch meets the house, back on,
and we finish building the potting shelves.
