Green Acres Village: Dinner Outside on Patio, not once but twice! — which, in this unusual spring of intermittent rain, was a big gamble, especially last night, when a few drops did fall, and we covered the food for a few minutes.

Green Acres Village, May 23rd Community Dinner: The usual beautiful people plus, “What is a cank?” via @AnnKreilkamp #GAPV #CommunityDinner #SocialPermaculture Though it wasn’t raining, the patio and furniture were still wet, so we met inside the Overhill house, at least 18 of us, not sure, some were going in and out of oohing and aahing at the new chicks who are much larger and safely into a larger cage in the greenhouse for now.
