April 6-12

It was a lovely week at Indralaya with warm sunshine by day and cool star shine by night. While Leonie was doing battle with the slugs in the garden, the first mowing of the meadow was completed. We are hoping that the steady clear weather will bode well for the fall fruit harvest as the pollinators have had plenty of time to do their work with the blossoming fruit trees.

On Friday we headed to Seattle for a meeting of the Indralaya Board of Directors. It was a very full agenda, including discussion of how best to approach special events that fall outside of the established program schedule, review of the 2014 financials, the possibility of providing wi-fi for program participants, and updates on where things are with the many Spring projects and preparations for the program season that is just around the corner.

A Study in Crabapple

There is one crabapple tree at Indralaya. It is located on the edge of the meadow near the Grove. This year its blossoms have been remarkably effulgent. See for yourself!
