More slashing and burning in the woods yesterday, but now we have moved down to the lake again. I was just in time to catch the sunrise before our work began. It is surprising how much growth has returned after our attentions last year, the elder in particular shoots away with great rapidity if not checked, so we concentrate on removing as much as we can to allow the new native saplings to get a better start. we have decided that we will have a camp fire cook out on Thursday, as much to save our legs as anything else because it is about a quarter of a mile down to the lake and back again, and we made the trip three times on top of our work! Time then to perfect the art of weeing in the woods again, not the easiest of skills when you are wearing waterproofs, you live and learn as they say!
"What is the good of your stars and trees, your sunrise and the wind, if they do not enter into our daily lives?"
