Whitefeather Peace House
We are opening into the summer schedule now. Whitefeather folks are Nathan, Niea, and Tom. We are enjoying the increasing transition of the tiny bit of front garden into more and more of a combination of permaculture fruit and flowers. The fruit began with the one old Italian plum tree that was there. We've since planted grapes, apples, figs, raspberries, cherries, strawberries, rhubarb, olives, honeyberries, kiwi, pawpaw, hazelnut, banana and blueberries. And to the original tulips and campion we've added lilies, azaleas, hydrangea, roses, bleeding hearts, magnolia, fresia, apricot twist and herbs. It's getting a bit crowded!
The New Year has seen some people come and go at Whitefeather.
Terri and Alexa are now part of a lesbian Mom and Kid house and to our joy
they come back around frequently. For one thing, we need to keep marking
Alexa's phenomenal growth on our kitchen archway--she came first to Whitefeather at age four, height 3'6" and is now six years old and 3'10"! We will always love them.
Also
note the new pair of cherry trees hauled a few miles as a Wide Load on a
bike from the little nursery back to Whitefeather, our Zorbapu and Annie trees. Arbor Day came
early, and then, for Alexa's half birthday/Arbor Day, we planted two little peace olive trees~~
And let us all congratulate the brave people of Tunisia and Egypt! This is the Year of the Grassroots!
