(lovely isn't it! I almost can't believe I am posting this awful picture)
While it is not much to look at now, but when I look at this broken building every morning when I pull out of the driveway, I can envision a wonderful future!
And what is it that I see exactly? I see a beautiful and simple place, one that provides the children of our community a space to express themselves however they can. I see a place that provides access to the many languages of creativity, with children freely exploring these languages and materials however they see fit. I also see myself in this space, learning along with the children!
I see a garden and fresh food, and outdoor space to run and jump and get dirty!
Overall, my vision is one of community. A place for gathering, learning, and growing!
Here is our progress so far - in pictures :D
Demolition Madness! Previously this space was an old garage converted to an apartment...we (my husband and dad...I was pregnant at the time) had to tear down walls, old flooring, old kitchen....yeah, pretty much everything!
our big helper!
There are light rays in the above picture because we also tore off the old roof! Now we will be able to pitch it and have some great passive solar light and heat :D
So now it is pretty much an empty space, just waiting for its new life full of laughter and learning!
