Land!

So it's all been finalized and my partner's father is now the proud owner of 40 acres of land about 30 minutes out of town! Horray! Our family now has it's own land! He has all his fruit trees ready to go - he's been growing them for years in his back yeard, in pots. The well on the property pulls 180 gallons a day so orchards and communal living are all in the works. He's also building a temple to Maryai (his tradition's version of Mariamne aka Mary Magdelene). It's not a pipe dream either because he's done it before. They use to live in Arizona where, back in the early 80's when my partner was little, the family built a commune with huge three story adobe buildings.

I'm so excited because his father's intention is for the land to be for his children and their families - that means me! :) Seth still wants us to get our own land but in the meantime our family has some land that we can call home!
