Spring of '07 the water department began bringing pipe to lay the lines up the hills to give us more pressure and relieve us from hauling water to our own tanks. YEAH, can't wait!
The prayer chapel which was begun during the winter months is at this point by Spring '07. It is truly a gift, and the artisans who are constructing it have the blueprints in their heads. AMAZING craftsmen!
Each stone in the building is gathered by hand off the surrounding land, and then polished on the inside and left rough to the outside. HOURS of precision work by hands trained through generations of masonary and rock workers.
Spring also brings our traditional (several years now!!) fossil hunters from the local public and private schools.
The children find the fossils and then replace them for the next hunters. There is real conservation and preserving the land teaching going on with these kids and their teachers.
A lunch break at the picnic tables of the cottages is a nice respite on a warm Spring day in the hills of our little countryside home. Until next year precious ones. Thanks for being such good stewards of the land!
