i've finally got my own little plot of land. last night i went down and began weeding - or really that should read 'clearing'. my only weapons are gloves and a bush knife. i sweated it out for an hour, to make the tiniest little clearing. but dammit it i'll be back this afternoon, and tomorrow afternoon, and as long as it takes! (or, until i get bored). but for now it is now a battle of wills. me vs stupid weeds. i want to see clear, leveled earth. it's ambitious.
