Pot luck sounds great!
A potluck!-good food and good talk!-sounds like a plan Margaret! Can't wait until you're back! My best to you up in Boulder, hoping you feel better each day!
I am delighted to meet everyone! I will be back in the Springs in a few weeks. Right now I am staying in Boulder with my daughter. The MS made it necessary for awhile.
So the Grands and I will be starting a window sill salad bowl soon!
Dave, Colorad…
Hello to All! Thank you for starting a group here in Colorado Springs! Recently watched the documentary "What a Way to Go: Life at the End of Empire". I highly recommend it. Another interesting online 2-hour course was Post Peak Livlihoods through t…

Margaret, thanks for starting this group. Glad to connect. As usual, Colorado Springs seems to be bringing up the rear!
Yay! I got the group put together. Now what do I do with it... don't know yet. The snow on Pikes Peak this morning heralded the start of fall. This morning was beautiful and warm, then the wind started... now there is a cold rain... and they are say…

Profile Information
- How are you currently involved in the Transition movement?
- At this point I am only really an interested bystander. I know that Manitou Springs is a transition town, and I frequently go there for fresh water. (got to love the soda spring) I am going to be getting a trike so that I can bicycle again, but ride the bus.
- In what ways do you identify with the Transition movement? Why are you interested?
- I have a potager garden, and also offered to yard share though no one took me up on it this year. I try to grow more of my own food and keep it local. I love post peak technology and hope to incorporate more art projects into my life. I love to quilt and spin.
- What background and skills do you bring to this community?
- Gardening, quilting, sewing, knitting, crochet, cooking, preserving, teaching people to cook solar and friendship
- How can you help the growth/acceptance/vitality of the Transition movement?
- I talk to anyone that will listen about it. I hope to get my permaculture certificate in '10.
- Your Favorite Books/Websites/Blogs/RSS Feeds for Information about the Transition Movement
- Permaculture by Design. Chicken Tractor.

trikes
Last night I went looking for bikes at my local bike store. (its just three blocks away and I had never gone in) They have some adult trikes, but they have recumbent(?) trikes that look great! I am hoping that spring will allow me to get moving on my own again. Nothing wrong with buses but I really would love to be able to ride again.

- Thanks for joining! I have been looking for something in the Springs to get involved in... found nothing that wasn't really already full. So decided to make something for myself and other. Glad you hear a chord!
Right now I am staying in Boulder with my daughter and her family because I have MS and David is on the road a lot. I will be relocating back to the Springs sometime in the next five weeks and am really looking forward to it.
Looking forward to meeting everyone. Perhaps by having a pot luck this spring.

- Hello Margaret! Just found and joined this group. Thanks for puttin' it out there! Read your profile, and heard a chord sound on the topics of solar cooking, crochet, spinning, and a permaculture certificate. Hope to talk with you on these one day soon!

Sustainable Greenhouse Design at Denver Botanic Gardens
February 6, 2010 from 1pm to 5pm
Have you ever wondered if it could be done? Can you create a greenhouse that needs NO supplemental heating year round? – the answer is yes!! This greenhouse design, involving stored water as thermal mass and our bountiful Colorado sun, can be used w…
I can only speak to my own experience. For most of my life I took the lead from my father and his cohorts in developing my worldview. When he died (a personal catastrophe), I took a few years to examine every aspect of my life -- including my values…
Hi Paul,
Sorry for the delayed response. Life got way too busy in December. I'm out of town right now but will be back by January 1st. I'll call you to discuss what we did at the library and to see what we all can cultivate for 2010 in Colorado :)
Hi All. Good to be part of this group. I'm planning on coming to the watershed meeting in January. Pavlos, I'll rsvp soon.
