We wish you could smell this photo. There’s no essay this week. No musings on existential questions and problems. Just a picture of our favorite southern flower and the food forest slowly coming back from a harshly cold winter and an incredibly dry spring. But now the rains are here, the flowers are blooming and the earth itself almost seems to be healing around us. We’re so close to finishing our guest house, planting crops and launching the website but we’ve still got a couple more weeks of hard work to be ready to re-open. Thank you everyone for your support and patience!
