Are You Building a Park, or Something?

Tom was working on the lot today and a guy stopped by and asked the question that titles this blog. The answer is: No. And yes.

We will eventually build a house here. It would be nice to break ground in 2008, but we're letting the schedule take shape organically.

We are building a park - our own beautiful space and a space to share with neighbors, affectionately called "Luciferous Terra" - a place on earth providing light or mental insight.

What we are doing now is getting to know the property. We are letting it talk to us. Letting it show us what it wants, how it greets the sun and rain, how it moves in the seasons. We are becoming familiar with each other (the lot and us) so that it will be happy and willing to receive us. We're planting things and making it beautiful, letting it know it's cared for.

What a great way to bond with the lot and of course bonding once you are building! Nice Balance.

It sounds like a lovely bond that you are forming. Thank you for sharing your progress with us!

Hey fellow bikers: We're expanding the Bunker and I'm doing all the work (except elec, & HVAC). Just like you it takes longer but not as long as paying a off a mortgage. I'll send some pictures your way via email. It was great seeing you this summer and June is just around the corner. Happy Winter and I'll see you soon! Mark
