Farm/garden day May 21

Dear Friends,

Please forgive me for not commenting on the conditions of the world today. Sometimes writing is more than I can manage. But if you wish to send support to Ukraine, there is a Zen community in Poland that has taken on this work, and are known to people that I know. (You may have to use Google Translate.)

Saturday, May 21 – Farm/garden day

So this was “spring cleanup day” and now we know more.

The house renovation is not finished, so we can’t move furniture back, but visits will be offered. The big task will be planting tiny plants and generally putting in the garden. People who want to use carpentry skills or big muscles will be invited to do things like building the outhouse or moving dirt and wood. Plenty of choices.

The day: early people 9-1, lunch at 1, afternoon crew 1-5, and a leisurely supper and bonfire afterward – as we like. Lunch looks like nettle soup with cornbread and black bean salad; dinner is uncertain; there’s a dessert involving rhubarb. Potluck contributions are welcome but not required.

If you’d like to come, please let me know your plans so I can do food. If you want to come Friday or even another day, email me and we’ll see what we can do.

COVID: Things seem a little tenuous these days. Tell me if you are in one of these two groups:

  • Unvaccinated
  • Particularly vulnerable in any way, including being a caretaker or just concerned.

We’ll keep these two groups separated. We’ll be outdoors, and we’ll have a contact tracing sign-in sheet.

Other upcoming events appear on the right of this post, so I won’t repeat them here.

I’ll be visiting Bloomington, Indiana a couple of times, and Atlanta in late July/early August. Feel free to reach out about either a visit or a ride share.

Warmly,

Shodo
