19.3 Dance Field
The open area kept mowed for playing in. The slope is not bad, but would really benefit from a skilled bobcat operator doing some leveling work.
What is the best ground cover for an area to be used for human recreation, dancing, sports, etc? What will benefit the surrounding vegetation and vice versa?
Two underground invaders popup when mowing is neglected: black locust much more than persimmon in this part of the property.
Nature wants this area to become forest; how do we both get what we want?

The big field is well lit by the moon, once it comes out from behind the trees. Prefect for a bit of fire dancing.
Waiting for moon to come out in the big field.
The big field has a nice shady spot under the cedars, big enough for 20 people in chairs. Cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
The big field can be a performance venue
A little raking, a bit of pile organizing, almost ready. I am conflicted about having a neatly mowed field for bonfires within the permaculture context. How beneficial to the surrounding areas is a field like this?
It was above freezing, but not much.
