What a site this was! The sun rose over the mist and through the tree tops, causing long misty rays. Ah, it's almost not peaceful, it's so exciting, sometimes..
The chickens are really becoming relaxed and free. At first they stayed near their penned-in area and ate mostly from their feeder, but now, they go all over the place, mostly up to the area around the house, which is more level. If we are not careful, they will undermine the land and the house will slip down the hill... They seem to find it difficult to do their dust baths on the slope, nearly falling over when they try.
Oh, look at us go! After hearing my friends say how much they longed to dance, Gail organised a venue where anyone can come to dance for an hour. For two euros. We bring our music and just get on down and boogy. The venue is Friexial and it's lovely. The wooden floor is perfect, the sound system is excellent, and the view... well, you have to come and dance and enjoy. Thursdays from 4 to 5.
We, R and me, have been going to yoga with Charlie in Vale Bejinha. It is sooo good. Charlie is a great teacher and we both feel completely brilliant and knackered after an hour or so of his class.
The anti chicken/goat/sheep/dog fence is now in place and I am very conscientious about closing the gate, these days. I have been digging in muck and rotted straw into the beds and generally getting very hot and tired, making it all look really good. Next, I will start planting beans, peas, etc. This is a really windy site and I hope to grow some wind break, as the plants (and buildings) really take a beating. Well, we are right next to a wind mill!
