March Greenhouse

Isn't this a beautiful site? Thanks to Bevan, one of our newest members and his partnership with La Boca Ranch we have lots of life in our greenhouse.

Don't Touch My Stuff

Just another day in llama world at Heartwood.

Thank goodness the snow is melting and by the way, keep away from my stuff.

Oh really says white boy Kiowa. I don't want your darn stuff!

Whatever........

Bald Eagles over Heartwood

Caught these photos as I worked this afternoon. Right out my back window.

Four Legs or Two?

Here is one cute female who insists she is a two legged creature (like us). Daisy is her name.

Daisy has done an excellent job of wrapping us around her little paw(s). But this day her cuteness was to no avail.

She is requesting that she come into the retreat room with the rest of us so she can put her two cents or four paws in the conversation. No go.........

Getting to Know You..........

Remember the song: Getting to Know You, Getting to Know all About You?

Well, last weekend Heartwood had their annual "retreat". We've been holding these weekend marathons since sometime in the mid 90's and they always bring us to a deeper understanding and acceptance of each other and ourselves.

Our first home was built in 2000 and last year, 2007, our neighbors finished their home, the last one in our cluster of 24 households. Now that we are up and running, we were investigating the possibilities of how we could take ourselves to a new place in expressing and sharing Heartwood Cohousing with the rest of you.

It was a full and rich weekend, with lots of great ideas. Watch the blog and we'll keep you posted on what we finally consense on. Soon you will be able to Get to Know Us a little better.

Cabin Fever?

I'm very excited that our slowly melting snow will soon reveal spring time, my most favorite time of year.

It's been a banner year for snow accumulation in the high country in Colorado and something that is greatly appreciated even though the digging out and the soon to be pools of mud can be a real pain.

We still have a few feet of snow at Heartwood, but each day as the sun shines, I see a little more of the fence tops, a little more of the sleeping shrubs, baby trees, gardens and the birds.

Enjoy the picture of my front garden, it is a joy to have that a part of our summer viewing here at Heartwood. It is one of my gifts to our community.
