Yurt down 2011

Its been a crazy five months! I didn’t get anything planted this year but we did manage to landscape the ‘swamp’ quite nicely in preparation for a beautiful garden, it will be in full bloom this spring, we have heirloom seeds for all sorts of vegetables!!

The most important thing is I completed my large yurt!! I made some mistakes with my math and once it started to go up it turned out to be 18 feet in diameter rather then 24, so I had to readjust a few things…. But its beautiful!!

I will be working on setting up my 12 foot yurt beside it, and will be living in it starting ASAP, please follow along!

Day #1

Spent the first night at the farm last night, very happy, this is certainly the life for me! after arriving I unpacked some of the minimal gear I brought; a weeks worth of clothing, books, beeswax candles, sketchbooks, and art supplies, the essentials basically!

My Parents gifted me a chainsaw early for my Birth day, so I am very grateful of this, I also picked up a 30 watt solar panel on sale at Canadian Tire, I am pretty excited to put both of them into action soon! (the chainsaw tonight I hope)

I cant describe how much I love the sound of a crackling fire, the crickets and frogs on a warm spring night, its truly how life is meant to be lived, every day, every moment embraced within nature.
