Here comes the Sun














This little collection of pictures shows the what the sun is doing for us these days. It is cooking our compost, growing the plants in the greenhouse, and saving CO2. Now we are going around and checking to see how we can conserve more energy, turning off  the computers from 7 pm to 7 am, for example, turning off things that don't need to run, etc. This is a miracle for us, a dream that came true. The monitoring system is in a small room in the barn where we can connect a laptop and download the energy data to a laptop and take a look at what is going on. BTW, the hurricane only came up with 3.5 in of rain and a 35 mph gust. We are far above flowing rivers or brooks so we did not see the damage they have south of here. One bridge in our town is majorly damaged, a detour to live with for months. We were so lucky.
