Mounted three pieces of raw wood into Tsuchida tsuchi (soil) with concrete (or is it cement? – which do you mix with sand and water to make the other?) for 3 different, but vaguely-related, projects:
* sign post with arrows pointing distances to favourite/special places (there is a list but… need to re-earn my orienteering compass badge so I can point the signs in the right direction. Resisting the urge to be really obsessive about this but worried more engineering-minded friends will come double check my work and you know, if it’s not within 2° of accuracy you know I’m going to hear about it – I can hear the “well actually…” in my head already. And then any US people who come will be confused by the KMs as well – sigh!)
* post box for (un)secret messages the kura barn >> atelier, lounge & Cascadia consulate
* phone to the wind as a shrine & refuge for conversations with those passed or possibly lost {further evidence}
PS Transplanted two trees today. Super fun being arborist Ryoko’s assistant and father-in-law’s “co-worker”. Yeah, used a shovel and a wheelbarrow and *everything*.
Yes, it seems I’m really “nesting” and getting ready to live here forever.
