June 22 - Workday and Solstice Celebration!!!

UPDATED!!! June 19
Dear Hart’s Mill Members & Friends,
This is a reminder that there will be a workday on the HM land this coming Saturday. The weather forecast looks great: high temps in mid-80s, nighttime low in mid-60s – perfect for those who wish to sleep over. Very low probability of rain. What could be nicer?! Well, maybe, nice weather PLUS lots of community-minded people!!

June 11, 2013 - General Business Meeting!!!

Update: We had a fantastic meeting with a great turn-out, including 4 of our exploratory members! What a crowd. We hope to see many more exploratory members join us at our General Business Meetings. Meeting minutes will be available soon to all our members.

2013 Communities Conference at The Farm...

Two of our members attended the Communities Conference at The Farm in Summertown TN and really enjoyed learning from and with all the people there. The youngest participant was 5 months old, and the oldest... Well, it doesn't matter. We are all young at heart!

April 20th - Workday.

It was a beautiful day today. Katy, Paul, James, Lorna, Antony, Linda and Peter sowed about 2/3 of he tobacco field. It has other growth pretty much covering it, so erosion isn't a worry. Then we scouted building sites on the far side — and found locations for some members homes. After garden maintenance and planting of more raspberries (tho there was some damage to the first one Anthony put in… we may have to cover these), we hauled in some water from home in buckets; something we may have to keep doing to keep water supplies up.

Spring Workday

Harts Mill rain barrels and first garden beds
Hart's Mill workday picnic

We had an absolutely terrific day of gardening progress, and a perfectly delightful evening and meal around the fire pit.

We got more garden beds planted, and we now have a reliable watering system in place.

Highlight of the evening was a delightful pirate shipfaring duet sung by Anthony and James – all of it duly recorded for the Hart’s Mill historical archives of significant events. It doesn’t get any better.

Stay tuned for announcements about upcoming working parties.

Paul
