Aloha, Friends.: Sheep, finishing the house, and Mya

Things on the farm are creepin' along, but in a good way. You relax a great deal when the number of things in your life to be anxious about fade away. It's a trade-off, of course. I do find myself bored sometimes and in need of friendly and stimulating conversation, but it's still good overall.

Where's still doing little things to Don's house. It should be done in the next two weeks and then we can start the real projects on the farm that will support the ultimate goal of the farm. Don's vision is to create a working model of sustainable living by having a productive farm with several real treehouses on the property where people come and stay and learn how it can all be done. It's a pretty interesting plan, and it would be neat to be a part of building it.

The only real new things are expecting lambs to be born any day now, twins or triplets. If it's triplets we have to nurse one of them because the sheep only have two nipples. I mean, how freakin' cute will that be?! Maya, Don's daughter has been here for a week. It's been really refreshing to have her here as an alternative to talk to besides Don. She's my age, incredibly positive, and a lot of fun to hang out with. We shovel mulch together and move wood. It's nice. :)

Melia, one of Don's visiting ladies left a couple of days ago. It's good that she's gone. There was a lot of negative energy on the farm with her and Don always snapping at each other. Don's ok, though, he's going to China at the end of the month to see if he can "validate his feelings" with a woman named Katrina. I'm not sure what he would have done if it had worked out with Melia. hmmm....or for that matter, Julia, who's visiting in April. hahahahaha. The whole thing's bizarre, really.

Hope everyone's well! Send me messages and emails, please. It's always nice to hear from friends back home!
