1st of Hematite, 250 - Summer Has Arrived

We're running low on alcohol, having to resort to drinking water while we wait for the first crop of plump helmets to be ready to harvest. Adil the cook has been busy hauling stone and wood to the stockpiles when she's not cooking so she hasn't had much free time to gather fruits to ferment. Now that summer has come, it's a good time to get some fresh air between the rain showers to stock up.

The workshop is coming along nicely; Stodir the mason and Onol the doctor with carpentry skills have been keeping busy. Stodir crafted some tables and chairs to put together a small dining hall for everyone to relax in between jobs.

Digging is now underway to build a well in the dining hall. Once that's dug out, the miners will begin digging out rooms to build bedrooms for everyone. Now that summer is here and word of our new fortress spreads, we may be receiving migrants coming to settle here with us. The extra hands would be a godsend, and if we're lucky we'll bring in some migrants with job skills our current group lacks.
