November 3rd...Crazy Weather

November 3, 2011

Today was a great day on the Wairuna farm. When I woke up this morning the sun was so bright and gorgeous it woke me right up and made me ready for work. Before work I went out and took some pictures of the farm and its beauty. It has so much to offer. We start work at nine o clock sharp, Shaun tells us not to be late…time is very important on the farm. Today I was in the garage separating the carrots that Esart, Nolan and I harvested yesterday. There was well over five thousand of them. What Shaun had me do was take the smaller carrots and weigh them out to 600grams per bag. Then twist the bag and put a tie on in. For the bigger carrots I had to weigh those out to 1 kilogram and do the same process after weighing. This job required much patience. Since there was so much reptilian involved I made it into a breathing exercise and did some mediation although it was hard to focus the whole time. Once the carrots were all taken care of I put them into separate bins for them to be shipped off the market. Shaun them told me to help Estar plant in this large field. Estar and I did this together for about 45 minutes and then our workday was up.

The weather today was remarkable. As a said it was gorgeous and sunny this morning. As the day went on though the weather had to change at least ten or fifteens times. I saw overcast, rain, snow, and hail today…in one day! It was truly remarkable to see the weather change with in a matter of minutes. It would hail for fifteen minutes like I’ve never seen and then the sun would come up for ten minutes then it would rain! Insanity and beauty at the very same time.

There are supposed to be a couple of new WOOFERS coming today but who knows.

Peace
