Deshi's Report


Spring has arrived! Training has been interrupted by our efforts to clean the gardens of the wintry debris and bring life again to the rows.
We are not completely self-sufficient, but we do grow a significant proportion of our own food. So all hands were necessary to clean this past week. Unfortunately, no one remembered to update this blog; and so, constant readers, we were unable to explain our absence to you.
A thousand apologies.
In penance, we shall endeavor to provide some of our recipes to you at a later date. If it seems out of place that cloistered warriors would revel in culinary arts, remember that food is a celebration of life.
Our training has not been completely neglected, instead we use our current labors as a testing ground for our skills. The Great Sage himself cleared some fallen branches and used his tomahawk to chop wood into manageable pieces for the compost heap. Others have found wood suitable for working into training tools. And some are content to condition their bodies through the hard labor.
