Just took this photo of the front of the DeKist house, next to mine, with colorful “ecowarriors” sticking to the front wall, the beginnings of fruit and nut bearing bushes, a new asparagus bed next to the road, and a solar installation that works for both houses on the roof: 32 panels; 16 for each house, about 75% of current electric usage. We aim to get that down.
