The last six months have been taxing for the Soul, but have provided us insight and empathy for others facing natural disasters. I refuse to call Helene an “Act of God.”
Robert has spent many hours these past months with his little Kubota and front-end loader and a chain moving debris to the edge of Brush Creek Road. Sometimes a sledge hammer and chain saw were involved, too. We had resigned ourselves to living with tons of natural debris on our property in the tree lines. Then, the Army Corps of Engineers arrived to our rescue!!! They are doing a fantastic job removing the trees and debris Robert was not able to move. We are feeling much, much better in April–and so are our neighbors and community who passed our fields every day!
Our drip irrigation and wells were repaired at the end of March. Robert has tilled the spring gardens and in our greenhouse, thousands of tiny seeds in our seedbeds are turning into seedlings and then growing into plants which will become heads of broccoli, cauliflower, Asian greens, lettuces, cabbages, kohlrabi, etc. to fill our CSA Boxes. For now they are safe in our climate-controlled greenhouse where they can be protected until mature enough to be transplanted into the “real world.”
