We love this time of year on the property. Our chickens are emerging from the forest to sprint to the coop for a quick bite before running back to their hidden nests. So our harvestable eggs have dropped in numbers, but we are feeding fewer chickens and the first wave of baby chicks have emerged. Our farmhand from Singapore, Eugene Chow, left after building a beautiful Shinto Gate to be remembered by. We will think of him every day as we pass through the gate into the spiritual realm. Primrose is super excited because one of our friends and neighbors, Lala Powell, just gave us two bags of super stylish clothes that are right up her alley. So she has been doing model shoots every day and changing her clothes multiple times a day to wear new dresses. It’s adorable.
Savanna is trying to reduce the amount of “inside” chores that she does each day so she can enjoy her life outdoors a little more and not be stressed by the never ending list. I have been doing the same with “outside” chores. We sorely miss our weekly dinners with our surrogate family members, Barry and Donna White, and we can hardly wait for them to get back. And I recently received the 16 page editor’s report of Just Like a Soldier, which I hope to start working on next week. Our crops are planted, some have died due to wind, Typar malfunctions, and poor hardening on our part- but all in all, they’re doing alright. Last month’s newsletter went out on schedule, we posted two new YouTube videos on our channel, and the Kickstarter campaign is almost finished- so we have a feeling of success on the business fronts. A mama moose and her month old baby are tromping around the outside of our fence and we are having a great time watching the baby play and mama eat from our bedroom window or from the yurt deck. Lastly, we have been practicing our archery skills and jumping on the trampoline. All in all, life is good out here, it would be even better with a few weeks of warm days.
Until next time, let’s be respectful to each other,
Robert
