By and about the Nubanusit Neighborhood and Farm
Today has been a banner day at Nubi and it’s only 8 AM!
Suzy arrived at the Common House rosy from attending to the cows in -2 degree cold. She announced that the full moon had been in perfect alignment with the road through Nubi and was such a glorious sight, she barely refrained from summoning Clive to get his camera.
Then Clive himself appeared, delighted to announce that the tweaks made to the pellet system were paying off today with all boilers running and tons of heat and hot water to all.
For my part, I am thrilled to say that the cows are alive and well on day two of Shelley’s absence. And even Ed is alive and well having successfully milked the recalcitrant Pumpkin. Production is a bit low (the girls miss you, Shelley!), but the quality is perfect. It is really thrilling to know we can run the dairy by ourselves, all ten or so of us!
And yes I am knocking on wood.
This past weekend was a cohousing whirlwind of winter fun for our children.
Friday: our first annual neighborhood birthday celebration, which included outdoor scavenger hunt, indoor limbo contest and pina coladas, and a sumptuous community dinner.
Saturday and Sunday: ice skating on our pond, hot chocolate and movies with neighbors, community potluck in the Common House.
Monday: school canceled due to a big snow storm, so all the neighborhood kids spent most of the morning outside with snow fights, fort building, sledding, and creating a snow dinosaur (a “Nubisaurus” — see photos), followed by an impromptu pancake lunch in the Common House.
Not bad for a winter weekend.
we have our own real Winter Wonderland

It is above freezing point for the first time in weeks. Bring out the T shirts.

The first Nubanusit Family dance was held on December 30, 2009. The music was provided by Molly (Fiddle) and Carol H. (Piano) and dances were called by Bonnie. The dancers – young and old – were exuberant!

Look at the snow blowing off the barn and garage roofs.
We are using only four out of six heating boilers and it is warm inside, so we can deal with a lot more cold than this. Bring it on. This beats FL any time.
The cows and horses?… they went inside for a while. The chickens spent the day laying eggs, inside.
