…well, actually I’m a Leo (August 7th and don’t forget!) but I have landed, I did it, I made it, I’m here!! I spent my first night on a bed, not the floor. Expecting (almost) nothing is working great, you should try it, too.
Marcin actually shot a short video of me after my first 2 hours at the farm:
Eagle Has Landed from Marcin Jakubowski on Vimeo.
I slept wonderful, my stupid cough did too and I woke up before the roosters at 5 a.m. It was still pretty dark so I stayed in bed and listened to nature wake up slowly.
A hen and her little baby chick had spent the night in the “hall” that’s in front of my room. They wanted to get out to do their “business” and I needed to do the same. When I tried to open the door they fled into my room (they don’t know me yet, and I think I spoken German with them…). Finally I caught the chick and carried it outside and mom followed quickly.
For my “business” I have my own very private hut. I even have a toilet seat and toilet paper! What luxuries. I’ll have to get someone to carve a heart into the door, then it will be really authentic.
Marcin has had a tough few days trying to repair the car. Sad but true it is something substantial that needs to be replaced. He also spent a lot of time and energy fixing up my room and I’m very happy he did.
I took a look around the property right after the morning ritual (see above) and decided very quickly, I need to get some rubber boots. I’ll wait for the official guided tour after breakfast to find those delicious peaches. (Remember that video? I can’t forget it!)
You’ll hear from me regularly from now on. I will not have time to write many individual emails, so if you want to know what’s happening out here, read the blog!

Hi Rick,
thanks again for your entertaining help at JFK. Please tell the pilot with ‘more stripes’ that I truly appreciated his carrying my bag of ‘bricks’.
I loved meeting you Inga! Best of luck to you with your workshop!
Happy Birthday!
