Just a few yards away from the earthen plaster workparty, Gretchen was teaching 15 people about making your own honey wine!
I love Saturdays at TLC Farm! This past Saturnday, a bunch of us gathered in the outdoor kitchen to put earthen plaster on the cob bench under the nearby cedar tree. With the help of some Lewis and Clark students and other new Farm friends, we sifted clay, mixed it with sand, straw and water, and gently applied the muddy plaster to protect our nice bench.
The little sayings about this one are true:
Before enlightenment: chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment: chop wood, carry water.
Wood will warm you three times: once gathering, once chopping and once burning your fire.
Chopping wood is a wonderful form of daily meditation and connection to the mundane-but-profound experience of taking care of one’s needs. As someone who is usually part of the office-type activities at TLC Farm, I must admit that chopping wood is now one of the highlights of my week, and a nice way to warm up. Give thanks for the trees!
