Summer 2006

Life is good, the hay is cut, the cousins and their newest "cousins" have played and swum. the hammers have swung, the world has been complained and talked and lived about. Birthdays have been celebrated (Emily, Dylan, Finn, Susie, Kathy) and still the work and living goes on.

Margaret describes the farm as one of those games where the puzzle pieces are locked on a track and you push them around trying to get them in order.

Susie's new chickens meet the old chickens and the eggs keep getting pushed out.
Devi and Susie swap houses and their families ride the wake.

Building a yurt

Level. Plumb. level. plumb

the floor is done.


Building a yurt up in the field. Actually two yurts. 25 cement piers, twenty five posts all cut different. over 50 rough cut hemlock boards. many many 2x4s measured, cut screwed. nails nailed, pulled, nailed cut nailed, screwed and cut.

this will be the newest "little building" on the farm.
