Building, planting and planning. Sharing ceremony and good, home raised food.
Oddities in the weather and how the orchard did.
Observations on the Global Crisis.
Earth Spirit and Earth Living.
These are all parts of the News from Four Quarters. Enjoy.
Work continues with our new well house, with the roof now framed and sheathed. Next up will be the HDPE membrane roofing. Plan is for the roof to be sod covered, minimizing it's visual impact of the hilltop. We will keep you posted on that.
The innards that make our water flow have been installed, tested and permitted for some time, making water for the camp.

New Moon Service
A note from Hunybee for this weekend's Moon Service:
The wheel of the year turns once more. There is a chill in the air and soon the trees will turn, presenting bright foliage of yellows, reds, oranges, and browns. It is the time of the autumn eqinox, and the time of Mabon.

A word needs to be said about this years Rising.
This is a special year for the Stone Circle, in as much as we will begin construction of "The North Copse." Older Members, perhaps much older Members, may recall Orren holding forth on The North Copse as a small elliptical feature set due North in the Stone Circle as a Circle within a Circle, in consonance with the Copse Features that frequently appear in the Neolithic structures of Northern Europe. A tightly spaced twenty foot ellipse of Standing Stones, the stones so closely spaced that they can not be walked through, and ideally cannot even be seen through. Conceived as a special place for prayer and contemplation.
