[ Field notes ]
A running record of the work.
Entries appear when there is something worth saying, not on any schedule. Weather, animals, small mistakes, quiet successes.

The rafters of the small barn are now full of bundles of lavender, tied with twine and drying in the still, dry air. A quiet week of scissors and string.
