Talk about being Self-Sustaining and Self-Reliant My husband and I went to the island of Cyprus last month to meet extended family for the first time The British ruled Cyprus since 1878 and when they left there was a violent conflict between the Turks and the Greeks over the ownership of the land Today the Turks own part of the island and the Greeks control the other side of the island The United Nations patrols the swath of land in-between the two sides to essentially keep the peace We met Stavroulla my niecersquos mother-in-law a most remarkable and independent woman who lives alone in that portion of land right in the middle known as ldquoNo Manrsquos Landrdquo She built a home in this area after the Turkish military took over her familyrsquos land (and village) for their military base We stayed with her the 3 days we were there There was no electric or water company in the area She has had a well dug for water that feeds her house She creates her own electricity with a windmill and solar which powers her rangeoven and hot water heater--pretty amazing So we had hot showers and TV if we wanted but the area cell towers were really weak so almost no phone or internet which was fine with us She had chickens and a couple of ducks so we had fresh eggs every morning She had tons of edibles and flowers growing in her garden with wild white asparagus that grows along the dirt road in front of her house There was also wild arugula in her yard fava beans potatoes (that she doesnrsquot remember planting) rosemary different types of mint and other herbs and plants that we couldnrsquot translate the names from Greek to English She also had these massive ovens outside that she cooked a special pork dish all day for us--it melted in our mouthyum We were there for her surprise 70th birthday party What do you give someone that yoursquove never met before The only thing I knew was that she was a gardener so I ended up giving her a SCGC apron with gloves in one of the pockets and a bunch of vegetable and flower seeds in another I wouldrsquove put in some garden tools but didnrsquot think I could get it through the airport security She loved it just as it was (See her pictures on page 7)

and Sherry Christensen Our very own Bill Schaefer (aka Butterfly Bill) came to Las Palmas Elementary School on Friday March 30 for our Fun Friday in the Garden He brought caterpillars and butterflies and spoke about which butterflies need which plants to lay their eggs on and how the caterpillars then eat the leaves of the host plant I learned some things I didnrsquot know and Irsquom sure the kids did too As a bonus a few of us got to see a Bluebird nest on the school grounds with two eggs We were also at Las Palmas on April 20 when we did an Earth Day activity We taste tested bottled tap and filtered tap water and talked about the toll that plastic water bottles take on the environment While not a scientific study the majority of the students preferred the taste of filtered tap water Our final Fun Friday at Las Palmas will be on Friday June 1 when we will help ready the garden for the summer Please come join us
