I have the best sister ever. You all should check out the layout that she did for indoorsprout. It looks great!...
After two weeks the rain has returned to Seattle. I didn't realize I missed it until it was back. My favorite seasons are early spring and late fall, which here in Seattle usually last 8 months but this year we've had to deal with the unfortunate episode that is winter...

I've been doing a lot of thinking lately about a farm. I've decided that I should combine the two things that I want most in life: a farm and a library. I just need about 20 acres with a small hill. Something of an octagon with a circular building within it. With facilities to be completely sustainable: farm, dairy, brewery, granary, housing, livestock, etc. Maybe a stream for fishing, but I could always build a trout pond. Somewhere here in Western Washington. Anywhere else it just wouldn't be right, except maybe N Cali. Hopefully some day...
It all continues to collapse around us. If you are not frightened yet, you should be. And if you are frightened, know it will get better...
I like the library, but an octagon shaped building would create more waste and therefor not be as green (and cost effective) as a rectangular shaped building. Just something to think about.
ReplyDeleteI'm talking about an octagonal building with 200 foot walls on each size. I'll draw you a picture some time. I think that done properly it would be extremely green.
