Harvested all of the grains today with the help of some neighbors and their equipment. a 1940's crank start tractor and a 1930's cutter and bailer (i forget what its called). beautiful machines. really nice guys, they also have a steam engine thresher! i will be gone for the threshing in September but hope to go over and take some pictures of it before i go. after loading it all (4 acrs) into a big buggy we broke for lunch the clouds rolled in and thunder boomed over head. we all through down our lunches and ran back out to the field and got all of the grain into barns before the rains hit. wheew. something magic about grain. especally seeing it in the golden sun, then the growing dark black and purple clouds of the thunder storms green light. so magic. fun day.
i also went to a permaculture work shop on orcas island this weekend. it was so inspiring. beautiful land, solar energy ran the whole farm. amazing philosophy permaculture, the only things missing is livestock. i guess thats why im biodynamic. love that milking cow.
hope everyone is well.
