And the soothsayers predicted Snow.\u00a0 Oh, no.\u00a0 Really, not a big deal.\u00a0 Slush is more likely.\u00a0 The precipitation now is all good.\u00a0 As the weather continues (generally) to warm, the combination of rising soil temperatures and moisture puts plant life on the quick track up.<\/p>\n
Randy, from Randy’s plumbing, called.\u00a0 He will come out Friday am to install the gas piping to the generator.\u00a0 Center Point will come out on Tuesday afternoon to give us the bigger meter necessary to provide adequate gas to the generator when it works.\u00a0 Soon we will have protection against power outages.\u00a0 One more block for the retirement security perimeter.<\/p>\n
Membership in\u00a0Permaculture in a Cold Climate is another one.\u00a0 As we make the transition here to more and more home grown produce and hopefully some home captured energy, we will reduce our need to leave the property for grocery trips.\u00a0 All this moves us toward a smaller and smaller carbon footprint. Although, I have to admit, the steam room probably eats up more than we’ll balance for awhile.\u00a0 Gotta figure that out one of these days.\u00a0 When we get that Prius two years from now, our balance sheet will look better.<\/p>\n
