III. Landscaping and renovating - December 2011:
It is cold and the plants seem to stay where they are. But in South Florida, we still have some beautiful colors in the winter season. You will see them in the photos below. Again, you can come and help out to remove that huge pile of topsoil. We continue with the minor renovations inside.
Here are some photos for you:
Welcome!

At peace!
"Bodhisattvas at home should wish that all beings realize that the nature of "home" is empty, and liberate from its burdens."
