The Workaway Adventure Continues
May, 2019
These 2 workawayers brought their own home with them. In the banner above, that trailer is a self-contained tiny home, complete with wood-burning fireplace. Its "logs" would be kindling for Long Shadows!

Matt and Carla dove right in with the gardening chores. 



Seed starting mix in the cups


Next, seeds in the cups


Then the transition into working with firewood



There is always more firewood to retrieve

    

Big rounds hauled out with a dolly


Bringing split wood into the barn

A little entertainment time


They had never experienced hummers landing on fingers



Hauling in the heavy stuff - madrone



Log splitting can now be added to the resume


Matt quickly learned an easier way to split wood - sitting down



A never ending cycle


Lots of rounds waiting to be split


 


Transitioning to fir - a much lighter load



Partners in all the work


The rounds keep coming




Clearing the ground,
in preparation for fire season


Real tidy cleanup
 



Hauling limbs to a burn pile


The Supervisor gets so tired watching all this work!




Trim and stack




Trim and stack

 

A day off meant a visit to Crater Lake.
 


Back to the garden and weeding



There is no end to the weeds


Pulling small weeds from the crimson clover cover crop

Matt and Carla got a lot of things accomplished during their stay.
