Officially Night One in the Wolves Den

This past Saturday I drove up to Noel and Danielle's house at Black River Organic Farm, then it was off to Circle Acres Farm in Siler City but first Noel had to dig out some earthworms for the compost pile at Circle Acres then he showed me how to layer right for the cold(I have my own ways but thanks Noel)and he let me borrow a scarf which I plan on returning the next time I see him. When we all finally got our ducks in a row and got into their van, we started the two and half hour drive to get to Siler City which was a very interesting trip between the adventure to Wal-Mart for a Itrip cause the radio is too much to bear and just listening to what Noel had to say. 
When we finally arrived at the farm, I got shown around the farm and the house which is going to be a big project but before I even knew it we were moving again to meet Trace at the Co-op for some delicious dinner and conversation(I was starving and cleaned my plate). Then it was off to the house to keep warm for the rest of the night with a beer for me and everyone else had cheesecake. It was good. The next morning I woke up tired cause borrowing Nick's 15 degree sleeping bag since 3 people and a heater in the Wolves den gets it pretty toasty anyways, but I woke up with Noel around 8 and went outside to chop some wood to heat up Trace's wood stove, we also saw some snow flurries it wasn't much. 

When we finally all got hungry enough we went to General Store Cafe to have some of the damn best brunch I have had in a long time, then it was off to ECO where Trace works its a distribution center for organic food around central NC it also house Piedmont Biofuels and an array of farmers. We then ventured on back to the homestead to try and figure out where to erect the greenhouse but it was hard to tell how much sun each potential spot would get cause it was super cloudy, then I just wondered around the rest of the time till it was time to say farewell if only for two weeks time I shall be living in a camper and enjoying the hell out of life for a extended period of time.
