Website almost live, garlic planted, homeschooling materials, etc.

Accomplishments today: A friend of mine built a spacious herb and spice storage shelf for me 3 years ago. I fits perfectly here in the cabin, so we transferred most of the herbs and spices from the kitchen to storage since we need more room in the kitchen. It’s now just across the pantry. We discussed the tornado that occurred here on April 27, 2011. It didn’t actually hit our property, but came dangerously close. Lula Lake Land Trust on Facebook has a magnificent picture of the tornado as it approached the mountain. Noah’s friend Jim delivered a load of firewood. Thank you so much Jim! It will be put to good use. Lori was able to order Camilla’s homeschooling materials from University of Nebraska. I grocery shopped at the Village Market since I was in Collegedale. They have humongous bok choy for $1.99. I planted 24 cloves of organic garlic today. I was able to acquire more jewelry making supplies today, and spent a couple hours this evening on jewelry. I still have much to do before Main x24 this weekend! Lori researched building cob structures and companion planting. She mentioned that garlic does well with rose plants, but not well with asparagus or green beans. Good thing she looked that up, as we almost made the asparagus very unhappy. Lori bagged dried sage for culinary use in our kitchen. Dinner tonight was rice with stir-fried squash, carrots, bok choy, onions, mushrooms, green peppers. Chicken for some, organic tofu for this veg : ) The chicken lived out a happy life on Sand Mountain before making it to our kitchen. Lori spent EXTENSIVE time on website work today. She wrote the vision, and we all wrote bios. ETA for website become live is Friday at the latest. Thanks for following us.
