Sorry for my inactivity. My son has finally been put on the lung transplant list. Until then it will be surgery as needed to remove parts of the lung.

Safe journey all.

YOu all know that Pikes Peak Permaculture has a monthly potluck?  It moves around and has lots of cross-pollination.  Last site had many greenhouse amenities, rainwater catchment, tons of food growing and some great space to spread out in.  Good place to get to meet other TT'ers and permies.  If you are NOT getting the TT emails (outside of this locale)  send your contact info to...

tt.manitou@gmail.com

Love & light!  Sorry you've had a rough summer, Margaret... you have lots of company in that!

Comment by Margaret Beers Oliver on August 7, 2011 at 3:19pm
it's been a rough summer for me health wise. However I have managed to get some of the yard squared away.  I have someone I want to introduce to everyone someday soon! Working on getting him online. He's great with a garden or a horse. Also he does handy stuff !

Sorry that I have been unable to keep up with my postings... pain meds seem to make my brain fall out!

What is everyone doing to get their Spring on?

Beth, There is a small coffee house at the edge of our local co-housing community that is really good (prices are good also). It's called the Dog Tooth Cafe, and is located two blocks north of the Uintah and N. Corona St intersection.

Comment by Becky Elder on March 28, 2011 at 2:52pm
There is also Poor Richards just north of DownTown on Tejon Street... There is Wooglins on Tejon just south of Cache la Poudre and also Montagues on South Tejon... south of the highway...  Good luck!

there is a quiet local neighborhood coffee house called the Raven's Nest on the corner of Boulder Street and Institute....it is just northeast of dowtown..if you find Boulder Street (one of the main streets downtown going east and west, just north of bijou street) and head east you cant miss institute...maybe 10 blocks...Brian

I know that we are desperate for water... but I don't have a backup heating system in this house yet! I can't afford for the power to go down. 

However, I did start to rake some of the winter blown leaves and branches into the area to start a new raised bed.

At Becky and John... I know we need rain... several nice misty days worth in a row... nothing flooding just free!
