There was some progress on ‘the barn’ this past few weeks – insulation is up on one wall, the cross supports are up, the big hole where the stairs are supposed to be has been partially uncovered, the ditch for the well pipe to ‘the barn’ is dug and the pipe has been laid out in the yard to uncurl – little things that like. Most of the work this week and all of the work this weekend was in the campground.
We are having our annual Samhain festival October 14 – 16 and the campground needed some work. We had several trees that have been down for 2+ years that needed to be cut up, split and stacked. We also needed to clear some new areas for camping as we are expecting a few more this year than we had last year. The thing with having more people and more tents is that our labyrinth circle has to get bigger which pushes the tents back farther into the woods.
We got all of the trees cleared, split and stacked and now have over 3 cord of wood – I don’t think Bill will have any trouble heating the woods for Samhain this year! We also took down some dead trees that were starting to drop branches and needed to come down for safety.
We had a small Mabon ritual on Saturday night where I burned our corn dolly that I had made 2+ years ago (seems to be a trend here) and we charged the new one. We all said what we were thankful for and then we sat around the fire and had a nice fellowship afterward.
All and all it was a good weekend and we had some great friends come out to help us. I’m thankful for those friends!
We had fun too!!
