Every time we go out to the land, we learn about a “blue million” new things.  This last weekend we learned about the elaborate trail system through the woods, where the natural springs are, where the home site is where our 77 year old neighbor, Don Buckner, was born.

We learned that that same neighbor was featured in a Chatham County Herald article in 1980 where he talked about doing some of the same things we are about to get ourselves into.  The article was all about organic agriculture, resource conservation and energy effeciency.  Windmills, solar hot water, woodlot management… Sound familiar?
