Building a sustainable community on an apocalyptic wasteland. Clearly we don't know what we are doing.

Season 3 premeir!

The last few months have been an interesting start to the year. Tom and Travis went out to the east coast, where Thom is planning on buying land and starting his own land project. After three and a half months of biking down the Mississippi and other a adventures, Jackson has returned home, and we are planning a powerhouse of a summer.

I have been working stone masonry for the past few months, which other than being great exercise,  and bringing in enough money to pay for some big projects, has got me even more stoked on doing stonework. If all goes as planned this spring I want to do a bunch of landscaping in the garden, build an old school stone well, and maybe a stone bridge over the creek. We'll see what happens......

Things in the garden are on schedule despite not having Thom around, Jackson and I have picked up where he left off. Though the tent caterpillars might be holding off their invasion, slugs are on the full offensive and ate all our baby cucumbers. We are hoping tiny bowls of beer in the garden will work as slug traps, and if not, well at least our cat will be drunk.
