A Place For The Future Past

Many many improvements have been made — from simple (making a simple rainwater catch and drip system for the greenhouse) to more complex (a natural habitat for the pheasants and a BATHROOM for the yurt!).

Two new compost beds have been started, when done cooking they will be new beds too.

Emily has been a wattling demon, creating the protective and supporting fences around various beds, and we have enclosed and beautified a small side yard, creating yet another charming gathering space. AND the garage has bit by bit been transformed from mostly storage into a workshop and future boutique and gift shop.
