Easter Warmth, in 3D

Okay, the 3D lure was just to get you to see the movie.

So, the clip is merely a 360 degree glimpse of Easter 2012 at Walker Creek... and it comes with a warning: you may have to tilt your head to the side as the camera spins around in a circle. By clicking the link, you agree to assume all responsibility for dizziness and/or warm fuzzy feelings that you may experience.

Filmmaker's note: Prior to all this merrymaking and munching, nearly 20 dozen eggs were hidden and discovered in the meadow/orchard during the Children's Egg Hunt. And several Golden Eggs along with chocolate ones in the Adult Egg Hunt (aka $$$$$$$). Thank you: sun, friends, family! With much gratitude for simple pleasures.

A Pattern Language of Natural Homes

These natural home concepts make me drool.
They are from A Pattern Language.



A Pattern Language, by Christopher Alexander, is a collection of 253 ideas that can make your living environment a pleasure. Mouse over the pictures to see which pattern the picture illustrates and click to see the picture on their facebook page to follow links to the house from where the picture came.

It will lead you to a paragraph, like this one: Pattern No.199, which is essential to my well being in the dark and gloomy kitchen of the Sunshine House (no pun intended).

Pattern No. 199: ‘Sunny Counter’. Dark and gloomy kitchens are depressing. The kitchen needs sunlight more than any other room. If you can, place the main part of the kitchen counter on the south side of the kitchen with a big wide window so that the sun can reach in to flood the kitchen with light. This is the kitchen at Deacon Vale Farm on Mayne Island, Canada which was built by Cob Works in 2005.
