There goes a whole week
It’s another Saturday, another market day. A whole week since my last post. Today I’ll work some more on my office, check out a moving sale for scavenge-able goods, and probably do our laundry.
We hosted Bekah’s Dad on Sunday and Monday. We took him to the Cornell Ornithology Lab, which is pretty super cool. It was a very nice day, too. We got very luck on the weekend with weather.
I was supposed to move into my office on Tuesday, but was delayed ’till Thursday by some repairs and painting. So, I spent one afternoon following Bekah and Michael around as Michael gave Bekah some horse lessons.
I did some more wiring, too, and rigged up a way to suspend the speakers and stereo set up from the bottom of the loft. Now Nathan will have to watch his head (he’s TALL) but both Bekah and I will be ok. Basil, too. In the mornings I worked, to the extent that I was able to without the internet. I’m experimenting with ways to trick the farmhouse’s wifi signal into reaching our spot… some promising leads, but no success yet.
By popular demand, here’s some more piggies. This time, they’re like 1 foot long, and so cute. Notice the flash-mob and group-pausing behavior:
I’ve had a little more time to just sit, look, listen, and even smell. I’ve noticed that every single hour is beautiful… even the rainy times. Then, there’s fog and a lovely foresty smell. Even the cows (which are now trying to come into the gate — shouldn’t have fed them that fresh-cut grass) don’t smell bad.
I had to make the tough call NOT to go down to the city this weekend to host the Foraging Event I organized. It feels bad to set it up, organize it, and then not show up, but I just can’t make it work. Too much stuff to do on Sunday and Monday. Thanks to my buddy Sunil for covering for me (Sunil, come up and visit and let me buy you an Ithaca beer!)

Why am I jealous? I just read up on the last few postings. Sounds like a great adventure.
