Always look on the bright side....
Sunday, we went to the vegan potluck. After dinner a local couple treated us to a slide show of a trip to the Rockies. There's lots going on this time of year.... the famous Denman Island Christmas Craft Faire takes place Dec. 1st and 2nd. It kicks off all the Island Christmas activities.... stay tuned for updates on that.
Straw Bale House Update: The weather is cooperating and the trusses arrived on Thursday. (Thank goodness for roof-top delivery!) With a crew of three, we've managed to place them with few hick-ups. The exterior (Cedar) post and beams have all been placed, bolted and plugged. All interior beams are Douglas Fir, (some people have allergy sensitivities to cedar). The pictures are of the beam delivery and progress... as well as a shot of the fir that fell across the driveway during the last storm. It will soon be added to the firewood pile.

Looking at the bright side of life........The residents of Churchill, Manitoba are looking forward to Global Warming. Polar Bear watching industry will make way for a new grain port that will ship local crops around the world..... This week's blog finishes off with one of my favorite movie clips of all time.... "always look on the bright side of life".
