Thanks for sharing your way of life with me. It feels to me like you're
solidly engaged with working the land. Since Plato's students left
Athens to raise horses in the country, we've known that's how we humans
are supposed to live. Relations is where meaning is found in human
existence, a favorite teacher used to say.

Smiles.

I am not just "working" the land Tommy. I found it very interesting that this list was previously called "soil builders" for that is what I have been doing most ever since we started farming. After some 800 years of exploitation we hardly had any soil to start with. We have been steadily building soil and planting trees and shrubs here too. Only this being Ireland it all takes it's time. Still, it looks like we may have our first walnuts this year.
