of the body

I woke (slept in.. til 8) to a bit of muscle pain today.
Happy to have. My body still works and mends.
And so I did, work and mend, all day.

As this morning was overcast, we didn't have to water in the greenhouse initially. There was enough moisture still in the soil from yesterday. If we had watered yesterday afternoon we would have run the risk of molds beginning to form. We must allow the seeds/plants a cycle of wet to semi-dry soil. Never too dry though. D & I saved some wilting peppers. Within hours they were standing tall again. Beautiful.

Opened the front door to allow for air circulation and headed to the office.
Added a couple more essentials to our dry-erase board. Hung a blown-up scale map of the farm that E made yesterday (she was/is a landscape architect). And... the weekly forecast. Because, well, farmers kinda need to know these things.



2 major tasks today. Break-in new air compressor/fill all tires on farm/record psi's for future reference. A little more involved than one might think.
Yeah, this thing and I hung out today:



Pulled chairs from the second barn for the owner (who I finally met. Very nice.) to use for her meeting w/ members. Met some of them as well. Enjoyed the short conversations.

Later, I finalized the organization/cleaning of the tool room in the barn. Happy with the results.



(and that's only about 1/4 of the space. much more...)

The latter half of the day was warm-ish and sunny.

Spending my evening relaxing a bit. Relaxing my hands especially. Been hitting the Burt's Bees Hand Salve obsessively.



I realize more and more how much I enjoy working (truly working) with my hands.
I get that one directly from my parents. Absolutely.

Pretty spent. Laundry tomorrow. Might actually sleep in until 8:30. Dig...
