20210729 Wood for the future

 

This is a pile of wood we cut which we put in the bonfire area near the stone circle.  Ready for the many volunteers who will hopefully come in the not too distant future.


20210728 Moving the gate

 

Today we took one of the gates on an epic journey from its original place in the New Horizon garden to the new gate.  With the cement slab it was very difficult as it was very heavy, but together we managed it.


20210727 First four wheeler on the farm

 

I had to take a picture of this four wheel vehicle, the first on the farm since we enlarged the new gate! This vehicle came to take away our rubbish and is the first of many that will come to do jobs like brining in leaves and building work  that need a four wheel vehicle.


20210826 Stunning clouds

 

I saw these clouds on my walk today.  I love the way they look so tossed by the wind although there wasn’t so much breeze on my walk.


20210725 Dancing sun

 

Unfortunately this still picture doesn’t give much idea of how the dappled sunlight danced with the wind.


20210724 Naked neem

 

We had several neem trees cut back yesterday by a crew of special tree cutting people.  As the trees were making too much shadow on some of the vegetable growing beds.  It looks rather drastic but Rajan tells me that the tree will quickly grow back and be a much better shape.

I hope he is correct!

20210723 Guru Poornima

 

It was Guru Purnima today, a celebration of all those who teach,  and so there was a special puja.  This picture is of all the puja items from Ganesha’s altar that had to be washed before the puja started.
