The Dog Days of Summer

Posted August 6th, 2006

I apologize, dear hostelers and readers of the update, for in the daily hustle and bustle of hostel living, I have simply forgotten to keep our avid readers informed on our recent events.

We have been working through the summer heat to keep our gardens happy. The vegitable garden has hit its peak of the season and is on its way out but the flower garden is radiant.

This year’s Labor Day retreat is growing nearer every day and will be themed Mind Body and Spirit. We will have workshops, events and even a canoe race. Spaces for the weekend will be limited so call and book yourselves before its too late. Our dear friends Nikki and Jeremy have gone off into the big world to partake in the adventures of travel. During their road trip they will be working with other communities, going to concerts and camping in beautiful parks. We wish them well here at the hostel, and await their return.

In the land of the chicken there is a note of sadness as our oldest chicken, Grandma has passed on. In her wake, we are happy to say, is a new chicken era. The baby chicks are now almost full grown and have taken to their pecking order. Now the chickens that were once the young ones are now the seniors in the group. How the circle continues…

Thanks for checking in on us and i will keep you all updated as new and exciting things happen…

Mikey and the Crew…
