One of the highlights of my summer was seeing a barred owl fly out of some brush near Viroqua in the #Driftless area of Western #wisconsin

It’s 14°F/-10C here at Big Raven Farm in southeastern Minnesota, and it feels delightfully balmy for a change. No wind, sun’s out, and even the ladies have deigned to leave their coop.

Today I've been pondering how much of my Amish neighbors' existences are affected by AI systems. They are almost all that are farmers who are dependent on supply chains and telecommunications for their livelihoods. There is an offshoot sect here that is trying to exist with zero technology, no gas phones, no selling to the English etc, but I don't think it will survive for long.

My first time making patacones con pollo desmenuzado, cebollas, tomates y pimientos. The West Lima fusion kitchen gone wild.
— in West Lima, Wisconsin.

During the first years of existence at #dreamtimevillage one of our outlier properties was this 5 story #treehouse built by master builder Bill Wolocha. There were no bolts put into the tree, everything is secured with yokes. The building had a flexible frame so it would shudder a bit in the winds. A fundamentalist neighbor farmer eventually bought the property and set it on fire, tree and all, to be rid of it.
