Part 2

When you live on a farm way out in the country you get used to things having to be done with out any warning. That is what happened to the first part of this post, Wood Work had to be done. Not cleaning the door jams but getting ready for winter in a house with only wood for heat. Wood has to be cut, hauled in split and stacked and it is best if you can do that a year or so ahead so it gets good and dry before you try and heat with it. The wood that is. So we all went out to work on wood for a bit. I stacked and split and Jim carried it in from where it has been cut. We have a lot of old myrtle here on Club Sena and it need trimmed all the time so we always have wood. This year we are very lucky in that a friend works in Myrtle making beautiful works of art and he came and cut up some of last years down wood. Now I can see the river better. lots of firewood size pieces and some cut lumber will be my reward and the barter system works again. So back to interns. The wood is stacked in the dry and it is rest time. One thing I have noted is that being older allows you to take a rest anytime you want. That is not all bad! There has to be some rewards for putting up with getting old.
Back to House rules
Respect the HOLD command and stop what you are doing. Freeze till you are sure you know it is safe to move. This is a warning cry when someone is in danger.In the SCA and at SCA events this is used for your safty. Please respect it.
Don't touch without permission , be person or possession,
Harass no animal or plant , they were here first and it is their home.Raccoons excepted,ask for ammo
If you don't understand, ask. But be sure you want to know the answer before you ask.
OK. I will think of more but this will do for now. Write me if you have any questions. In the near future Club Sena will be looking for a pottery apprentice. All parts of clay taught in exchange for work on the homestead.
Have a great Week!
