Seeds? Check. Soil? Check. Coffee? Check. It's #gotime, people! #openingday

Today's #sundayshoptime project: three-legged milking stool, as described in "Problems in Farm Woodwork" (Manual Arts Press: 1915), constructed with tapered mortise and tenon joints as explained in the #anarchistsdesignbook from @lostartpress, and my baby steps toward full-fledged #chairmaking.

Testing out some paint colors for the latest #farmhousereno project. We can't decide. What say you, Instagrammers?

"I have planted by the stars in defiance of the experts,
and tilled somewhat by incantation and by singing,
and reaped, as I knew, by luck and Heaven's favor,
in spite of the best advice."

• Wendell Berry, "The Contrariness of the Mad Farmer"
