Massive Work Party day at Heartwood Cohousing

Was this one of the biggest work parties we've had? Don't know, but it was big.

We
  • Cleared huge amounts of Oak Brush
  • Pulled 100 year old Barbed wire
  • Replaced Irrigation Pipe
  • Cleaned the Common House
  • Seeded some of the pasture and
  • Fixed fence
On top of it all we had breakfast prepared by another resident and lunch was a hoot too.

Foxy Resident

Where is the camera when you need it!??

Running this morning down Heartwood Lane, 7 am ish, the sun just coming over the ridge. Out of the corner of my eye I see a henna colored critter scampering out of our preserved wet lands, across the pasture and across the road right in front of me!

I stop, the henna colored fox stops, we look at each other. Off he/she scampers on to the neighbor's property, stops and looks at me again! It took my breath away.

What a magical moment.

Reseeding the Heartwood Cohousing Pasture





Lots of work going on down in the pasture. More to come on that as we just had a HUGE work day that was a blast. Food, Fun and work.

Back to the Pasture. One of the big projects we are working on is reseeding large sections of the pasture. Right now we have a group of people working several hours a week getting the field turned over so it will be ready for the seed. This is part of our 5 year plan to get the pastures up to our standards.
