Log:
This morning was amazingly beautiful! The fog hid the mountains and made my morning job rather majestic. I was planning to visit Coffee Break and see Jerry, but he wasn’t in this morning so I went to CCAT instead. Rosie and I spent the first few hours of the day dedicated to singing folk songs and pulling out that darn ivy. We continued our work on the filing cabinet, which seems to be coming together quickly.
I accompanied Abigail to the library to borrow a few things from the CCAT display. While in the library display case Abigail and I came up with a fun display idea. It would be very attention getting if we actually had someone in the display case using appropriate technology. Maybe only for an hour a day someone would sit in the case and hand wash clothing, or make recycled paper. It would need to be in a high traffic area to make the display worth the effort, but it would certainly be fun and entertaining for anyone passing by.
We spent the major portion of the day cleaning the house for the PBS crew that was going to visit this evening. When the crew arrived, we were amused to find out that only one small section of the back patio would be on camera. Noelle was nervous, but she did a great job. The film crew was very interested in everything going on at CCAT. They left with a few instructional pamphlets and an hour’s worth of tape for a short segment on alternative energy.
After I left CCAT, I went to Rosie’s house to pick some of her neighbor’s cherries. The cherries were falling and she hadn’t seen anyone pick any, so she asked if we could pick some. They were generous and said that if we wanted to pick ‘em before the birds ate them all that would be fine with them. We got to work with a small step ladder we borrowed from CCAT. We ended up with close to a quart of fresh ripe cherries. To compliment our lovely fruit, we made a decadent chocolate dip. After a few trials we concluded the two were best separate, and we agreed to meet weekly to make some sort of chocolate snack.
The days keep going by more and more quickly, it’s starting to feel like I belong here :)

Questions:
-Would anyone in SENS be interested in participating in a live display?
-How much information does SENS have that could be useful to others if organized in a neat filing cabinet?
- How difficult is it to make cherry juice?
Feelings:
I believe that every time you put yourself in a new situation, you can redefine yourself. I think every time you do this the chance for re-evaluation enables you to keep narrowing in on who you really are and who you’d like to be.
