Viv said she would like some panoramic shots from the top of the blue silo before the demolition of the barns begins. As a lover of climbing and goofy adventures, I said sure, why not? But there was the small problem of the ladder beginning high overhead. Even standing on a barrel, my hands were only able to reach the bottom rung of the ladder. Chin-ups were never a thing I had mastered. I then noticed some bolts on the side of the silo, and drawing upon some very rusty climbing skills I managed slowly and awkwardly to walk my feet up the bolts and my hands up the ladder. From there it was relatively easy, but high! It was gorgeous up on top, very safe-feeling, and a real adrenaline rush! That night I had the best sleep I'd had in years... not sure why!

YAY! You have inspired me to take a jaunt up the ladder myself before the big blue comes down! If I did it I would be conquering a life long fear of heights... Yet another accolade for ecovillage living!
