helwenDid some nail setting and wood puttying this week, as well as painting trim pieces that will be used for the door ways and maybe some other places.
Thought about doing some woodburning on the inner parts of the central doorways, but I think I'll just stain them and then paint some designs at some point.
***
Threw away/recycled some stuff, pulled some materials together for an "elven chandelier" project, print/fold/cut/packaged/delivered a bunch of cards to Elmer's Store, picked up a desk in town for the housemates.

Went shopping this morning, got some 8' tree stakes and some groceries. The tree stakes are for putting up a wind wall along the meadow, so we can have a little more privacy. Goal is to get it set up for the pre-Moot. The walls would be down during the winter -- we aren't out as much then, plus the winter winds can be fierce.
I spent some time digging out the lower part of the field drainage system and moving the soil up to the berm -- we stopped when the Eastern Meadowlark made her nest right next to the berm and it's been hard to get re-started.
Then when he came over, I switched to digging out plants near the drainage area, prepping it for planting trees and also Milkweed. Yes, we still haven't planted all the trees, and in fact some of them could probably use a different home :D Tali was going to help with this but then she got heavily scheduled at work, so between that, the kids, and recovery time, plus duties in town, we haven't been able to work together.
Lyle's been alternating between mowing, taking dug up plants over to the far tip for composting, and working on the berm, etc.
Tired people are tired. And of course I'd like to be working on the library or sewing or something, but this needs doing too. Winter's coming, plants need to go in the ground or come inside over the next several weeks.
