Pre moving

 Today we brought a few things to the land. Tomorrow is the main moving day and wednesday we will sleep on the land. Linus is restless these days and the moment we went to the car he jumped in and sat there happily waiting, just to make sure that we would not leave without him. He has been through enough moves with us that you would think that he knows by now
that he is coming with us, but apparently not.

On the way with the second load, we saw a tornado off in the distance, it was far away, very thin but appeared to be touching down, I was happy to be so far away..

 As we came down the dirt road leading to the land we saw this tiny rainbow and Kaleena said she thought that it must have been the rainbow that chased away the twister.

 This is what the house was looking like this evening, by wednesday regardless of where it is 

we will be moving in.

Solar panels, solar fridge, hot water, doors and many details will come later .

In a way we will be camping out for the first couple of months...

 Here is the dry toilet, or composting toilet, almost ready to go.

We will add a composting lasagna, made up of different layers, to the bottom of the solid waste compartment to get the composting started. The urine will run off into the compartment in front. 

All that is needed now besides the beginning 

composting layer is a couple of doors.

 The level of peace on the land in the early evening is something quite special, and quite different

from the noisy days, such as they have been lately with all the construction going on.

Looking forward....

~I would also like to give thanks for the tender and comforting comments 

on the post about my dad the other day~

~His body is tired, yet his spirit is high and his soul in peace.

To watch him go through this challenging time, 

to follow him through the different stages of this event,

and to see him flowing and accepting, all the time with dignity and humility, 

is inspiring, and yet another gift..... ~

~Blessings~
