DR PICTURE POST!!!

By popular demand!!!  Actually, none of these are mine, they were all taken by Tom.

PS - We had an amazing anniversary.  Tom gave us a beautiful Vedic verse, some incense and two bracelets made of broken prayer beads.  The beads have been to monasteries all over the world.  They have history.  Alline and Kurt set us up a little table with candles and put black olives in a heart shape on our pizza.  :)  It was super-duper sweet.  So, on to the pics!!

Beautiful mural on the back of the O.K. (Outdoor Kitchen)

Gobcobotron.  Anyone who read the Year of Mud blog should recognize this place.

The Gnome Dome.  Where my good buddy Kyle lives.

Larkspur.  Bear and Alyssa's home for now. 

Work Party at Ted's house.  We're working on making light clay straw to stuff the walls with.  Later on we poo-plastered.

Some of the beautiful mosaic art that adorns many homes here.

Mosaic in Ironweed Kitchen

The common house, wood storage in front.

Aubergine.  It's a half buried school bus (obviously).  The front has an earth berm with a bench cut into it, and a green house on the back.

The 'grocery store'.  Mostly dry goods, all done on the honor system.

The Milkweed Mercantile.

Solar cooker.  I think we were de-crystallising honey.

Contra Dance at Sandhill Farm.

Izzy lovin his new country life.

Tryin to paddle.

Life here is pretty good.  It's simple and honest and real.  You connect with people without artifice or concern for image.

Namaste - the god in me sees and respects the god in you.  This is a huge tenet of life here, although it's not usually put in those terms.  Everyone has a bit of the truth, and knowing that makes it possible for the people here to get along, form consensus, and live and work together...even when they have conflict.
