Yarrow Days June 5 - 6
June 5 is a busy ecovillage day (Chuck unveils our new common house at 8:00), but we're taking a break at 9:45 to attend the Yarrow Days parade.
Apparently events run right through until Sunday afternoon. As I find out more, I'll keep you posted.

My first Yarrow Days: can't wait!

Growing
The houses are growing, the new gardens are growing, and so is the community. The pictures above show homes 7, 8, 9, 10 as of May 16. The beautiful people are from our community meeting on May 9. It was such a nice, sunny afternoon with great company: I'm looking forward to everyone living two minutes away instead of hours!
The next community meeting is Sunday, May 30. If you come early (1:00), you can see the...baby owls? owlings? owlets? The Fraser Valley's nurturer of barn owls, Dan Clegg, will be here to bring the nesting box down from our silo to band them.
