This day would be a great settling-in kind of day.
In the morning the hay farmer who owns the field, and his wife, paid a visit to admonish me for driving up his field just before haying on July 27th, when I'd dropped things off with my mom. I apologized. He was cool about it, but she was ripping mad. We worked out another way to access the old road through the woods.
It was a great way to get into the land, but had no entrance. After making up with them, I walked into town to buy some food and get online.
The phone not working was becoming a big problem. I'd spent extra money to build up minutes and accumulate data to be used to publish posts and access the internet online while at the land. But it just wasn't happening.
By the time I returned to the land I was hungry. So, I cooked up my steak dinner and enjoyed the evening...
I also took time to walk around the tent a bit. Already things were developing and falling into their places...
The solar panel and system in general were working very well--surpassing my expectations. Things don't do that very often in my life, so I truly appreciated it...
Though it was only my second full day, I felt so thankful for having a place where the sunsets could be so majestic...
I'd found a bunch of apple trees along my walk to from town and even to the day I write this (nearly a month after the day depicted in this post) I still bring home apples from these trees...
It was a great day. The realization that the phone would be such a huge problem in the weeks to come had not yet settled in. I was still in a honeymoon mood with this land. I went to bed with the whippoorwill announcing the evening's animal-music entertainment.
