Say Folks! Are you perplexed and confused??

Have you been browsing through our website and blog, attracted to what you see with cohousing, ecovillage and organic farms , but perplexed and confused because either:

1. There's such a lot here, you don't know where to start?
2. You can see we've got a great thing going, but the scope is wide and you're boggled with having sooo many questions?
3. It looks too good to be true, so you suspect we must be embellishing the picture or we're actually a creepy cult with a nice veneer?

If you're any of the above... please write to either Beverly or Ann at welcome@yarrowecovillage.ca ... and fling any question at us... nothing is silly, too basic, too complicated or not important enough! You won't be committing yourself to anything at all, well ... except perhaps, to receiving an answer.

:>) ... that's Ann and this is Beverly .... :>)

A Village Tale - Illimitably Earth

The days are long enough now with the hour change, for me still to be able to squeeze in a good walk with the black dog after dinner, and before the light totally fades. She and I head in the direction of birds singing. Down the lane to the creek. Far off, I can hear the starlings caroling from their night-time roost in a tree two streets over. Masses of them go there at every dusk, because they like to live in community. Go figure!
But the birds I was hearing aren’t these starlings. Rather, they have a sandpiper call and are piping and whistling from the grasses around the creek. It doesn’t matter that I don’t know what birds they are. I have all summer to find out.
And I’ll be creeping up on the river otters some more, too. I’ve seen them a number of times already, splashing about in the water and then rolling around on the grass. I want to know what they think is so funny.
Yesterday I heard a chickadee guy calling for a sweetie from the top of a bush. I would say yes, if I were a chickadee gal.
What a good time of year this is for the village!

Looks like Spring!
