DO IT AGAIN IN 2010

After a year of having so much fun trying to redefine in 09, Roby and I have decided to do it again in 10. This time we are hanging out at the Solarliving Institute in Hopland California. Follow along on our adventure.

Shall We All Walk A Bit Lighter

Happy Earth Day

The kitchen yurt has a whiteboard in it for writing inspirational sayings. We have declared it Earth Day everyday on site to instill in us that everything we do has an impact. To celebrate we decided to throw our first party on site. We have a Cobb Earth Oven in our community village. Cobb is a natural building method using straw, clay, fine aggregrate and water. Many of our buildings on site are made from it. They promote using resources readily available on your land and are natural insolators. The Cobb Oven is a wood stove and great for making pizzas. Our new friends the Magruders who own a free range organic cattle ranch were going to provide the sausage for the pizzas.
We supplied fresh chard, onions, and garlic from our garden.
A true farm to table meal. Gini brought the kambucha tea punch. (we are learning all about these healthy foods). To finish off the evening we had organic hemp cookies. As the sun went down, we built a fire and the musical instruments came out. Ben pulled out his guitar and his fiance Grace started singing. They should have a traveling act. We have quite a few accomplished singers in our group who have been or are members in bands. The impromptu concert went into the wee hours of the morning. We celebrated Earth Day in style and hope to keep the mission going.
