We were finally getting some of the much needed fall rain which normally appears in this temperate rainforest. The day was gray and very wet. Scott and Eric commented to each other how much they enjoy this weather. It's a whole other mood and very North West coast.
The Lightwork Ecovillage was sitting directly within a beautiful, moist cloud. It had become a cloud forest.
Our normal views were veiled creating a tranquil inward focus.
Tranquility transformed into enthusiasm. The Ecovillage crew was excited to play at the Ecovillage in the rain.
Arriving at the Ecovillage's Maple Valley road we are treated to a carpet of maple leaves; a magical sight.
Scott navigating Troopy up the wet roads and having a good time doing it!

Scott and Eric put up 2, 30 x 40 ft tarps which completely covers the cob construction site. It is double layered and fully tied down with hopes of withstanding all the winter weather to come.
Our winter entrance way to the cob site.
The cob site all tucked in for the winter.
Our rain catchment, the water will be used in the on-going cobbing process.
Straw bales are brought inside the tent structure for protection.
Krista and Keith happily do 2 batches of cob under the big top!
Hunkering down for the winter weather. But we will not stop cobbing!
