The Morning Our Fence Got Delivered to Our Door

As everyone who has visited Hammond knows, half of our land on South Airport Road is surrounded by a vibrantly painted fence that brings a little beauty to our stretch of the highway

Since the beginning of the summer, we have wanted to fence  in  the rest of the land- including our future farm field. A couple weeks ago, Georgia- Pacific delivered 95 panels to our door!

Mr. Robinson, Tasha's father and our neighbor from down the road came by with his forklift (at 7:30 am!) and helped us unload the fence.

With some help from Emily and Moody...

We loved meeting James Morgan, the  driver who delivered us this amazing gift. He shared with us his discontent with the "one- world economy" and his desire to learn more about organic farming and permaculture. He left us some motivational books about quitting nicotine- for our "future library." Thank you James!

Sunflower has a one-on-one with James before he leaves

What a great morning! We want to paint the rest of the fence panels with  students from Hammond High School, Our School at Blair Grocery,  and the Ya/Ya Project. All we need are ninety-five treated 4 by 4s and about 50 bags of cement to get the fence up and begin to host this multi-school art project! 

Thank You Georgia-Pacific!
