H ope I n P rogress (Constructing a longer season with recycled materials.) 🌱🤞 #gardenscape #upcycle #orangesun #brainfood #growingat9000ft

Photo captured of our first big push with the recycled green house construction last week.

Forms poured and timber framed over a preexisting raised bed. Orange hued sun glimmers amongst the clouds in a skyline framed with pine trees.

Despite the neighboring fires and lack of moisture in the forecast, still moving forward with the dream to grow nutritious food 6 months out of the year.

Good morning Susan.. ☕️Love your book reviews! Rarely swing by for the java sessions. Been a bit busy trying to hustle to the job sites the last few months.. But I read that you’re out in PA near my old stomping grounds.. ☺️🫶 hoping to get out that way in the next couple months to visit family.

“Never sacrifice the good in search of the perfect. To get from A to Z, focus on getting from A to B. Your likely to change course long before Z anyway. Think ahead but don’t borrow trouble. Build momentum, above all else..” Isaac Lidsky 📷: by me (1/2026) #BlueSkyArtShow #wide #HumansofBluesky
