Where there is a will there is a way!

"You, yes you! You will be healthy"

You leave her alone for a minute, and look what you get. Don't worry men it tastes better than it looks. Notice the clever use of a pot under the compost bucket.

Chicken Tractor (Phase One)

Gardening Island Style

In keeping with the environmental spirit in our corporate vision, this is the newest innovation (not a new innovation, just new to us) at world headquarters. It is called a chicken "tractor" (for you non-farming mainlanders, that means the chicken house is portable). The deal is as these boys and girls clear and fertilize the garden we move them along section by section to fresh grass and bugs and plant our garden along behind them as they go.
We've borrowed the chickens and the tractor, as an experiment, and if all goes well we will expand the flock and build a modern tractor (think Tim the Toolman carbon fiber, aluminum, fully automated, high tech computer assisted, super tractor with racing strips and flames with a hot tub and swim up bar/lounge) Nothing but the best for our new friends the chickens.

Stay tuned for more chicken news, this could get very exciting very quickly!

Gates, Latches, and Handles

Submission number one

Here is el president standing with last years winners F&MJ with their current and yet unfinished entry into the annual "take a day or several days off work to build a gate" competition here at world headquarters.
We are expecting some serious competition this year, with entries as far away as the Cove and possibly other parts of the world as this competition heats up for another year. The fine detail and superior craftsmanship seen already from world champions such as this dynamic artistic duo brings strong competition to this years build off says our judges.
So take a day or as long as you like off work and send us your gate, you never know this could be your year to take the trophy home.

Stay tuned for "take a day or several off work to build something interesting to put on the top of one of thirty hand dug by Judith fence posts" competition heating up next!

The Ski Run Is Open

Skiing in July?

No, this is just how islanders dress before they take on the mighty hills of dog patch on duct taped homemade Go-carts. In the end the blackberries always win. Details at 11:00!

Award Worthy Lilies

Click on the picture to see how big these really are!

While the rest of you have been working and/or bettering the outside world, our fearless leader has been tending her award worthy Lilies here on at the edge of the earth.
They're over six feet tall, have bullet proof stocks, and have come out to show the most beautiful flowers. I figure you might like to see the kind of gardening we tend to here at world headquarters during the workday of course. It has produced lots of shoots so you're welcome to have one or two for your own workplace if you like.
Also, I've installed a outdoor hot/cold shower to compliment the employee offering here at headquarters. It's a little risqué, but wonderful being outside under the warm rain shower.
