Today was the most beautiful day. I was roofing most of the day and the sky was bright and clear and blue. It was a nice change from the rain that has fallen the last two days. In the afternoon, I could see storms brewing and dumping in the distance. One blew its way over us and dumped a brief but heavy shower; it even hailed lightly. I was helping Samson and Stephen (from Kenya), Dan and Kent put a plastic cover over the unthatched roof of the big hut. We finished it as the first rain was falling and quickly slipped underneath to avoid getting totally soaked. It felt good to be outside and working here in this place once again; it was the helping hand that made my return trip to Toronto not seem like such a horror--knowing that I would soon be returning to this paradise of a work placement. We are getting the park ready for the school visits. Soon we will be learning what we will be teaching the kids when they come. The birds were out singing today as we worked. The mosquitos were out too, and peskily sipping at my blood. I am bored in this house tonight, but I don't know what to do. Walking around these suburbs without a destination is too unappealing an activity for me. I don't want to watch television...I want to shower finally--get this virus stuff finished and shower. Maybe I will crochet more of my strap for my bag. It seems so daunting and I am feeling a lack of patience lately, probably due to those bad choices I make. That's all from me.
Oh, but I also finished my proposal to my boss and CEO of HELP International, Rodney Sidloski, on earthships. I guess I can include it, or see if I can post in from an earlier time and link it to this page here (if I can you will see a link between the arrows. -->moops!<--) I am hoping he will get involved in the research and become excited about the whole idea of earthships and want me to come back and help build one someday.
