Flaneur – I also hope the banner will be replaced by a sunnier vista before too long. Thanks for the kind words.

Has someone been hybridizing her web site? The new look is terrific and will be easier than ever to use. It’s always reassuring to see our gardener’s smiling face and I hope (as does every Commonweeder reader) that the banner of the snow covered meadow will soon be replaced by a sunny image of spring. As an architect I am fascinated by the idea of mushrooms as a building material. Earl Pope, another Hawley architect, once suggested the overabundance of West County zucchini be diverted to a factory, shredded and mixed with some sort of glue and made into a 4×8-foot plywood-like building component. Some readers may well wish that fruitcake be discovered to have structural properties, but I’m holding out for pâté de foie gras. Pat, your post is a reminder that we can never be certain what will sprout up before us on your web site. Thank you!

Rose and Carol – Isn’t this stuff amazing? I know of a strawbale house with a meadow roof that looks like a mushroom, but never a house made of mushrooms.
Lisa – It is really hard to keep up with all the developments. My hope is that they move along as quickly as possible.
