I love the mud house and cladding - sounds like one of my houses in SA - mud walls lined with corrugated iron and a tin roof - back from the early days of mining - they were railway cottages ... <br /><br />The community does seem blessed and will be so interesting to hear more - cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078877172139600813.post-30059712970590928232012-02-24T23:58:57.738+13:002012-02-24T23:58:57.738+13:00What a wonderful way to grow up.

You must have had such a wonderfully uplifting day. Besides the commitment of the community and all that it stands for, the ripeness of the season really comes through in your pictures. <br /><br />I just saw a film called "The Greenhorns" last week. An area garden club, not mine, was featuring it and some of went to see it. It is about sustainable farmers across the US and how they are working their small farms. They are all very young farmers; recent graduates from college or leaving jobs behind. I thought of you as I watched it, thinking it would be of interest to you. The club bought the film and there were strict rules as to how they could use it. Well, I've rambled on. See how your posts inspire me?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
