Group B had the most boring day. Literally! We worked on our timber frame posts, making tenons and mortises. Here are a few shots of this project:

| My mortise. |

| Emily using the "fascinating" machine |

After lunch, Patrick invited (requested!) our help in re-covering the hoop house at Sentinel Elm. We stretched the plastic over the arched frame and shifted it into place. Then Andrew started in on attaching the plastic with zig-zag wires. Inside this hoop house, we have a crop of mid-winter carrots ripening as well as several varieties of greens. Thanks to everyone who had a hand in making a snug home for our crops.

A wonderful photo. Will the plastic hold up to heavy winds like the ones that moved across the Midwest the last two days?
