Aloha Garden of Peace

Mark and I made it to Cal Earth Monday morning, at 10 AM. We spent the day assembling an old “repurposed” futon so that it could be a futon once again. Lunch was spicy bean soup made by Sorub. In the evening, Rachel unpacked (gladly) while Mark went to a yoga class. I am happy to report that unpacking was tremendously easier than packing the apartment! Dinner was a spicy green bean dish made by Nezirine. We contributed several sweet potatoes which we boiled in the oven. we will probably make up the work day on Saturday.

Today, we began the work day with demolishing sandbag rows and a window in the practice area. Lunch (around 1 pm) was basmati rice with sliced plantains and peanut butter on Fruit & Nut bread (Old Town Baking Co).

After lunch, we helped pick up trash around the property, on both sides of our fence. The challenge with trash pick up work is that right now is the season of stickers and grass seeds and it is hard to ever get all the stickers out! There is still a lot of trash for us to pick up tomorrow. After work, we went food shopping (bought brown rice, vegan Daiya cheddar cheese, Bragg’s olive oil, and Dr. Bronner’s lavendar soap. Delicious vegan grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner!
