I Borrowed Jed's camera

Dallin was worn out from supervising. G-mom is loving the nicer weather. It means she can see the world go by from her front porch again.



The question was asked "are Dave and Eileen planning on living at the compound forever?" The answer is No, only for the next three years or so. The following pictures are all pretty self explanatory if you've read the previous two blogs. Jed with the machete may need some explaining. Some years ago, we transplanted a small cherokee rose bush from the Agrirama. It grew and flourished nicely until G-dad caught it on fire on year while burning some grass along the fence. He thought for sure he had killed it. Oh no. The plant took its revenge and grew and grew into a monster attacking anyone who comes within a few feet of it. The thorns are like pieces of barbed wire. Jed was chosen to hack the creature back to its normal plant persona. We are delighted to say that he won the battle and next year's egg hunt participates will once again be able to hunt free of fear.

Ask Jed if he still remembers the "Legend of the Cherokee Rose" and why it is the state flower of Georgia?? Then maybe ya'll won't pick on the flower so much !

yes I remember, i was thinking of that story the whole time i was chopping out them. That explains their determination. They don't want to be silenced a second time..
