Howdy Neighbor!

I've met three of my neighbors. One of them, Sean, is a carpenter. I'd like to hire him to help me install a air-tight wood stove. Sean also raises chickens and other birds including peacocks, finches, cockatiels, parrots, etc. He's an interesting fellow with a kind spirit...and Marilyn vouched for his character and skill as a carpenter.

Sean’s fencing is on part of my property as well as part of his and another neighbor…the field is open, sunny and very sandy. Sean and I tentatively talked about fortifying the soil with compost and his bird manure. And then converting that fenced area to a community garden of sorts. It’d be a perfect location with the sun exposure. It was fun talking with someone of similar vision and passion. I’m looking forward to meeting the rest of my neighbors! Marilyn said that every summer until most recently, there was a community potluck. Sounds like a grand time! :)
