Spring is in the air...

Spring is in the air. We've been super busy, me with work, Colleen with organizing and throwing lots of events
The Fairy Workshop went very well and new folk showed up who had seen the flyer which was exciting!


The Romp was more like a run and scream than a dance but the potluck was nice and we met some nice folk again we hadn't known before.

And this one is coming up on the Equinox and we are also throwing a ritual/gathering potluck to celebrate the return of Spring.

Jakobi is a super scooter, loves to wake up screaming when Thomas the cat nudges her in the morning and is gearing up for full on crawling by getting up on her knees. She is eating bananas, rice ceral and avocados plus her new favorite: Pizza Crust.

On the homefront we have found a piece of land with our friends Rick and Karen and their 3 kids. It's in Worcester; 60+ acres and has a house on it. It is where Rick and Karen live now as renters We are preparing an offer sheet to submit in April and if it is accepeted and we get a mortgage we will buy it and build a small cabin this summer and move in September and then spend the winter getting timber ready for the 'real' house and have lots of fun work parties in the summer of 2011 building our solar passive hybrid post-and-beam 2 story with a living roof and greenhouse kitchen straw bale home.

More Tortola videos coming soon but until then enjoy this!
