On Penury Hill, we believe strongly in leaving the planet in better condition for the next generation. Each year, we plant trees and add more perennials to enhance the soil.

This year another Fat Albert Colorado Blue Spruce will be added to the east lawn. Arlene and the dogs, Narnia and Suki, have a ritual of walking back to talk to Fat Albert so he grows strong!

We are also considering an herb spiral mountain. Having a freezer full of meat and home-grown vegetables and fruit has made it easier to thrive during the StayHome order.
