Regina and I are working in the store today (a couple of early sales made for a decent day - among mostly poor sales days of late).
We continue to make micro steps forward on all sorts of fronts (lots of two steps forward - one back).
Process to get energy gets more involved all the time, although we did get some good news the other day that may help speed things along. What is clear is that alternatives are necessary and probably better in some ways.
We are getting a lumber load dropped on tuesday - so some new things will start evolving soon
Everyone is getting acquainted with different types of local bugs/allergies/parasites
I got some skin reaction that has been no fun waking up with scratching fits, shawnee and luna have flea and ticks non stop and both have just started with some wierd worm that we are still perfecting the technique for squeezing them out (very disgusting)
Clearing on our land is pretty much good enough for the moment in general terms - with our focus now more on finding our two or three spring sources and getting those areas better organized. Our first effort with some local help was ok but not inspiring - so we are working on finding some new people to try. But main thing now is to start building a cabin

Sam, for the ticks and fleas you should try to see if a local vet can prescribe "comfortis" for the dogs. My dog had a horrible case of fleas last Summer. Tania and I tried EVERYTHING to get rid of them and it was to no avail. We would give her a bath and then pick fleas off of her and sometimes get 60 fleas off of her in one sitting, only to repeat the process the next week!!! Comfortis got rid of the fleas in 1 day!!! Crazy. Don't know if they have it there, but if they do, you should try it.
