If I was Hannibal

today we were out most of the glorious glorious day. not sweltering but nice fluffy clouds passing by at a good speed. we had meant to meet uncle bobby off the cruise ship today but i messed it all up by thinking it was Friday not Thursday i was meant to meet him. so what did we do Friday?
well we went and worked on getting the land ready for a set of terraces on the slope down to the river. we had started the other week but it is mellow here. work when you can and when you feel like it. the terraces are a project that will some day get done.
so on this lovely day me zee and David went out and chopped the bay cedar trees down to use as a guide for the earth in the terraces.zee was making little stakes from the logs we chopped down and i am feeling mighty! due to chopping trees with a machete most of the day. i never liked those trees, always staring at me funny...
well near lunchtime i went to drink some water and needed to rest for a few minutes. it is okay while you are moving but the heat was trying to get me when i stopped being busy. i drank plenty of water!
well after a great lunch made by zee out we went again. chopped two trees and started processing the wood to more thick branches for staking leaving them to the side for zee to process into the right length. so as i continued with the tree slaughtering zee was making great progress putting the stakes in place for the terrace wall. nearly have one frame for the first terrace in place.

so at the end of the day, supping on a coke rather than a fine cigar,

I LOVE IT WHEN A PLAN COMES TOGETHER.
