There certainly are missing pieces (as there always will be) between this post and the last one, but for now I have got to just continue moving forward.
Today looked a bit like this...
Had the great intention of waking up around 7, having a nice lovely warm shower and some time to myself before the "work day" began.
The reality ended up me unzipping my sleeping bag around 8 AM and gobbling my bowl of oatmeal in front of the washing up sink just as the morning meeting bell rang at 8:30.
Community garden session turned into Dan, Vikki (16 yr old from Germany), Meg, (and her little one Patcha.) Hand weeding around spuds.
Lighting of the lime kiln the school groups that are here currently made.
Spent some time journaling with the horses waiting for Fi. Walked down the lane with Star on the lead with Fiona and Mikey in front of us.
Pizza oven dinner prep, full action, pizza (yum!) and clean up. (I jumped in and covered Cara's evening shift because she forgot to look at the rotter and didn't know she was on dinner shift. I was very content and out right happy in choosing to stay through to the end - leaving mid way through would have felt incomplete.
And now - sitting in the volunteer office, most likely one of the last ones on the property awake (it is 10:30 PM - on a 'work night.')
After working for about 12 hours today I am ready for bed, refreshed, experienced, and (as always during my time at Embercombe) excited for the next day - curious what it will bring, what I will do and all I will learn.
I might be the dreamer tomorrow. I am feeling a draw to that these past few days.
