Harvest Festival & Open house



We asked our friends of the community to come and help us harvest the vegetables. 
Even though it was a very wet summer and wettest summer for most of us, some vegetables grew well. As the garden has been providing a variety of vegetables for last few months, we are very grateful. With the extra hands, we managed to harvest all the carrots as well. 
After we could appreciate our harvest by eating nice hot soup that was made from our own vegetables in the garden. 

The same afternoon, we had "Open house" to welcome our friends and neighbors in Clai House. Instead of turning the events with full of games and programs to entertain our guests, we kept it simple. We could spend more time with our guests. 

There was one more event on the day in Kiltrateera afterwards. We had our first "story night". It was wonderful to listen to all kinds of stories sitting by the fire in the old farm house. The house has a perfect set up for such event. All the grown up were quietly listening. I hope we can create the story nights more in the future, especially in dark nights in winter time.
