Dream Team

If I could have this group of clowns out there with me all day, every day, I’m pretty sure we’d never stop laughing. That being said, thanks for a sweet sweet weekend.
On Saturday we started setting up a processing area near the greenhouse, by dragging an old a-frame sheep shade shelter down the driveway towards the greenhouses. It’s solidly constructed and deceptively heavy, but we made it work, and hauled over a few tables and a big metal sink as well. We need to jack up the shelter a few more feet, to make it more human scale and less sheep scale (we’ll probably use concrete blocks), and I’d definitely add a radio to the mix, but I’m pretty excited about how it’s shaping up. Especially once the summer comes on strong, it’ll be really important to have a shady, sheltered area to do washing, bagging, all of that stuff. I foresee it being the locus of many conversations, water fights, flower bunching sessions….let the games begin.
