Fruit is a precious resource but only in season for part of the year – except winter fruits like wintergreen, of course. I am spending days picking blueberries and an organic, Amish, self-pick blueberry farm. It’s an incredible experience and the berries are only $.80 a pound. When dry, they feel like raisins and go great with cereals. Blueberries are my very favorite fruit and I love to add them…

Yurts!!!! http://wp.me/s4QJsA-yurts

I had somebody mention a yurt the other day and the idea has completely swept me away. I’ve spent some time looking into them and I am completely in love. This video is a couple who have made their home in a yurt:

  This video is a little bit kitchy, but has great information on designing and building the yurt – it includes the math!

Corrugated Plastic and Foam Results

My early experiment with the corrugated plastic and foam has turned out well; it feels pretty strong. I am going to find someone to make me a couple of forms. I haven’t strength tested it, but L was only trying to understand the process better and see if it made sense to me. It does and it seems strong enough to be sidewall or some other material. Yay!
