Party time!

Nothing is set in stone yet, but there may be a party at Dragonfly this weekend. It will be a combination of Clark’s birthday, a house warming, and an all around Aquarius party. Short notice we realize, however, if you don’t already have plans, call the Big house and ask Olathe about the party. I’ll post more when there is more to post.

UPDATE: Well, there was two great parties since this post, Clark’s birthday and then mine (Steve). And there will be pictures posted soon.

Vision statement

An idea going around lately is developing a vision for the farm. I personally think this is a great idea for many reasons. Once agreed upon, there is a direction to move forward. It also puts people’s ideas in writing. Writing something down and working on the text helps to clarity the ideas trying to be expressed. I look forward to this effort and I encourage others to begin developing vision and mission statements. First, explore the information in the link to gain an understanding about these statements. Then return and start brainstorming in the comments below. Once the ball is rolling, a second post will be written to aggregate the comments and start developing the vision. The point being – Go nuts! Don’t hold back. Let us know what you think the community should be…

UPDATE: There has been some great conversation on this topic. Check out our mandate post!

Upcoming meeting

Exciting news for the farm – there is a meeting of dragonfliers scheduled for next week. This will be the first of many I am sure. There has not been a meeting in sometime. Longer than usual anyways.

There is much to talk about and this first meeting is certainly not going to cover all the topics that are on peoples minds, but at least it is a step in the right direction.

There will be a follow-up post after the meeting.

UPDATE: There is now a post-meeting post 🙂

Piano

The end of era. The piano in the main house at Dragonfly is moving on. It will be loved and cared for at Mad Beaver (i.e. no more freezing and thawing). This will free up some space in the main house, which is part of the continuing effort to reduce clutter in the house. For this momentous event, Stu, Wayne, Olathe, and myself are here and we are awaiting recruits (Rocky, Blair, Tammy, possibly others)…. Oh, they just arrived. Gotta go.
