i finally made it to the choclate shop down the street. i went with pierette, and she has a 20 percent discount which i was able to get too. she bought sooo much choclate. over 50 francs worth. she brings it to india for her friends there whenever she goes. i have been eating about 400 grams a day or so. im starting to floss my teeth to balance things out.
pierette has 3 very productive apple trees in the field outside her back yard. last year she got 900 litters of juice from them. i spent an hour or 2 picking apples for her. the beginning of next week we will will juice them.
after the apples i mowed the lawn and i mowed a circle around the trunks of the apple trees so they will be easy to find when they fall. she has a few compost bins that are mainly filled with grass which is just nitrogen. a compost needs nitrogen and carbon to break down properly and for the microscopic organisms and such. so i took the not so good 'compost' out and filled it back up. first i put in sticks so air can get in through the bottom. im not sure if this will help at all. then i put in a thick layer of grass then a layer of leaves and continued layering until it was full. jaque, a little boy that pierette was looking after that day was playing in the yard, and i called him over and picked him up and put him on top of the pile and had him mash it down. he was into it. this morning right after a breakfast of mushy pancakes i went out to my hot pile of pure love and reached deep, deep inside and felt the incredible warmth. oh, the joy i got from feeling that heat. i love it.
yesturday pierette had me cut a big limb of a tree so the sun would hit the part of her yard that had to much shade. i felt a little bad about cutting it, but the twigs and everything went to a good cause. i built a small 8 inch tall fence infront of one of her garden beds. it looks pretty interesting. and the smaller twigs and such will be put into many faggots and used as decorations.
the meals i have here are delicous. yesturday for lunch it was potatoes, salad, and atleast 7, maybe 8 different types of cheese. and for dinner tonight we ate delicous lasagna that pierrette spent hours on. when i was travelling with andru, are staple meal was bread and cheese, and maybe occasional yogurt. it's nice to have variety. i miss travelling with my brother though.
