Now that physical work on the property has slowed down, I am concentrating on learning as much as I can about adobe construction, water harvesting, plantings in a semi-arid area, etc. In addition to the countless hours I am spending watching youtube videos on these subjects, I purchased a book by Brad Lancaster, "Harvesting Rainwater." It embraces and explores the concept of sustainable living and I am currently trying to absorb the chapter about understanding the angles of the sun in my specific location. This is going to be a challenge-math is not my strong point. As someone said once "I don't care for math. If a number wants to get different, that's not my business." Bingo.
