Did not sleep very well, but woke up around 645 without the alarm.
The professional development was awesome! Everyone I was introduced to greeted me with hugs and kisses, which is how people are out here, but still it was really nice. Sheena had great information; I met a few Principals and was offered a 1 day a week position by the end of the day at Meg’s school. Yaaaaaayyy!!!
Before we headed home, Meg and I had a couple beers at a little pub in town around 2:30 and then we headed back to her property to check on her animals. The drive back to Meg’s place was absolutely gorgeous! The hills get much bigger out there and it was super lush. We hit up the little Superet on the way back and got a box of wine. The mountains were so extremely beautiful and I FORGOT MY CAMERA!!! Bah!!! I will have to post pics on these pages later….
First, when we arrived at Meg’s place, I heard the puppies. Her dog Jane had 7 pups 3 weeks ago and they were absolutely fucking adorable!!! Ridiculous. I could hardly stop petting them and always carried one around with me. We set our things down, poured a couple glasses of wine and set out on a walk around the property. First, we went down to the pear trees, ate a few of those. Meg showed me where they have some fig trees growing that are so massive!!! Then, we headed down to a pohuta kola tree, sat on a log and looked down the pasture full of honeybees drinking from Nepeta and onto the mountains below. What a sight.
A few hours later, Bryan pulls up the driveway. I walk out a bit later to meet he and Meg and Dave is with them!!! I thought he was staying at the orchard that night, so I was pleasantly surprised. :)
For dinner, Meg made an awesome smoked fish pie with some sweet corn. The fish pie was similar to a Sheppard’s pie with a creamed smoked fish on the bottom, mashed potatoes and few sprinkled bread crumbs on the top. It was awesome! Yum!
I fell asleep with spiders crawling on me and woke up to a rooster around 5am, but slept well otherwise.
