Thank you all that came out and helped us ring in the dark time of the year with our bonfire and drum circle. We had a great time and feel privileged that we have so many great friends. There was good food, a warm fire (sometimes a little too…), good friends, and even some good beer to be had as well. We had alot of non-drummers that showed and I want to see you guys drumming next time.
We’ll do this again in a month or two. Look forward to seeing you then!

Bee Koozies!
Man, it’s cold! We take some feedback, I find a long time listener, talk about Fall Fling, install some gutters, make some Bee Koozies (see pic), and explore the many splendid aspects of mulch!

Finally it seems that someone actually gets it! A town in the Boston ‘burbs is using goats to clear an overgrown public meadow.
“Under a pilot program in Andover, Lucy McKain’s dairy goats will rotate their grazing around the meadow for an all-you-can-eat buffet of grass, brush and other growth. The goats can clear as much as a half acre every three days at no cost.”
(associated Press)
I hope it works out for them; I’d love to see other towns catch onto this idea.
