I got a good whiff of that fresh spring air today and it was heavenly. That means the gardening and building season is almost upon us. We decided to rent a house in town for winter but we are eager to get back to the landstead and carry on with all the projects we have on the go. Various tasks from our extensive 'to do' list include; planting the annual garden, starting to establish the forest garden, carving out more paths and trails, building two compost toilets and a root cellar and finishing the sandbag roundhouse build.
We would like to make this year our first official year as hosts for work-stay volunteers from May to October. In addition to the (hopefully) steady stream of visiting helpers, we also plan to host a few larger group gatherings to advance quicker on certain tasks. I will post info regarding dates as soon as they are confirmed. In the mean time if anyone is interested in volunteering please send me a message at sophiamaslowski@gmail.com.
For now, I leave you with a photo of the well we dug out last fall. If you look close you can see my reflection waving to the water down below. It is a strange feeling to have so much excitement for a substance that has always seemed so plentiful with the turn of a tap.
