Last month, a group of neighbors helped us to process 38 chickens who were raised in our yard. Dan and I raised them for 9 weeks. We split the costs of feed. Several of us went to a workshop in VT ahead of time to learn how to process in an efficient and respectful manner. It was well worth the $25 registration fee. When all was said and done, it took 5 of us 4.5 hours to finish all 38 chickens and scrub everything down with bleach. Here are some random thoughts from some of the participants:

 This is a Beige 1977 Mercedes Benz 240D (W123), says 77K on the clock, 3 speed automatic transmission. As rough as it might be right now the avocado green interior is MINT (for it's age). Decent battery, tires look new, with the exception of the coolant all fluids and filters were changed last year. I didn't change the coolant because it really needs a flush, wash and should be replaced with the orange stuff. The driver's window wouldn't go up or down and I replaced the regulator assembly. I'm sure it needs a few parts here or there (passenger side exterior plastic vent cover), definitely brakes and some TLC. |

It’s been a long time since I’ve made an update; it’s time to get back in the habit. We had a whirlwind weekend finishing up one of our solar installations and our shed project. Here’s a picture of the shed and I’ll hopefully add some of the solar installs soon.

Today is opposite day. Wear your shirt backwards. Put your left shoe on your right foot. Comb your teeth. Brush your legs. Shave your hair. Up is down. Hot is cold. |

Many people feel that our way of life, the move we made from Boston to the middle of nowhere is/was drastic. My mother-in-law and her husband still feel that visiting our home is camping. In most cases, the criticism of our way of living is said in the context of justifying their own environmentally friendly choices, “you don't have to go to such drastic measures to have a smaller 'footprint'. I turn off lights. I recycle. I drive a Prius.” This generally elicits a giggle from me, followed immediately by the “what is this world coming to” train of thought. |

We were thrilled with the attendance tonight. The Town Hall was warm and everyone was kind and interested and had great questions. It was a lot of material to cover. In opening the evening with the potluck, Dan and I were able to slowly adjust to the number of people as they trickled in. 25 people is HUGE for Grafton, whose residents can rarely agree on anything. I was intimidated. I met a lot of new people who I'm looking forward to getting to know better and I saw a lot of old friends whose faces were a comfort to me, looking out on such a large crowd. |
