Watch Gakkou No Kaidan

Just before

JUST BEFORE
The end of the year!
Just before we go again! Just before the break to finish!

so I need to tell you, tell me. That every day of this adventure of creating my fruit farm, is a day of experiences, discoveries and exchanges, love.
Just tell you again and again that I am conscious of the immense privilege.
Just tell you that I grew up and that is a joy.
Just as I tell you thank you for giving me this! And your offering is generating creative and love.
And if tomorrow, our adventure confirms a utopia, all that is acquired is in our hearts and no one can erase it.
And if tomorrow, on the contrary, our adventure explodes in its correctness, we will know deep in our intimate utopia is a reality and that nothing can prevent us from creating, to go beyond what seems possible.
Then just before we make merry and celebrate divinity, then the new year, tell you how, we still need courage, confidence, determination and love. How we must be vigilant to identify our fears and reassure them. How we need to be clairvoyant. How we need to take care of each other. How our earth is precious.

soon in your AMAP your distributions. Watch for postings of my farm, they will advise you specifically on the conduct of the 2009 season.

2008-12 2008-11 Rest

REST
Nature is in her period of rest! Water is
this year generous. So it will end up compromising the future harvests! With the rains of recent days, new beds of strawberries are almost under water. In fact, I had planted in a plot (I had that opportunity here) that the risk of flooding. Already rains and holidays, the water was rising so quickly (this is the exhaust stream that overflows) that it had raised plastic mulch, swept the tips of the flower bed. The fence had kept the marks of this rising sea full of weeds and branches were hung on pegs and the son and of course just tripped. BEFORE THE FLOOD



AFTER


Fortunately I had foreseen this and have made substantial mounds on which are planted strawberries. The point is that the water level begins to decrease before freezing for example! It is imperative that the roots are ressuyées as quickly as possible (maximum 2-3 days) if there asphyxiation and death! in all cases the sheets are filled and there would have been enough to fill 10 pools!!
( history of this basin )


Luckily, the tornado of Charlier shunned my gardens!
And then the rest is also me! In all cases in farm work. Finally we agree on standing, I take this time to put everything plumb: repairing electric fences, cleaning out ditches, repairing and organizing supplies, clean the surrounding gardens, removing crop residues non-degradable materials (plastics , scrap) and especially preparing the upcoming season.

It was not planned that Lucien have surgery for a benign tumor the size of an egg, between the ear and brain. And especially considering there was no indication that it would last so long. To date, it is still in intensive care at the hospital Timone Marseille. Only an hour's visit in late afternoon. So every day of 240km car train schedules do not fall into the right niche! Fortunately Lucien's family is there and very very helpful. The news is a little better and we are full of energy.
So, I suggest not really in my farm. I hope to catch it all when everything will get better.

contracts will be signed in February 2009 and the first strawberries will arrive late April / early May
The management group has not yet decided on its cost. There are a lot of work on the definition of the real cost of the contract. Three members of the group meet next week! But he is sure there will be some increase! AMAP
All my supporters have their general meetings. I attended 2 only. But it appears they all have the same problem: lack of participation of its members. AMAP in Dracénie has managed to find a scheme to bring in the steering committee members and is really great. AMAP at the individual level, it is certainly contracts with farmers, but collectively it is essential that it works! Otherwise it is doomed to failure! Everyone should bring something: it takes the "raw" to create, invent new energy .... etc. All in all our standard, we must be brave to go in good conscience towards this goal: to keep the gardens that feed us closest to our families. Even if you think you have nothing to put in AMAP except your contracts with our farmers, start now! You have something unique that you will at one time or another to advance a little more in our goal.
The last weekend of November (just before the operation of Lucien), with my friends arborists in AMAP Daniel and Fred, we held a meeting of arbo-amap in Carpentras. There were about 25 of France. And For three days we could exchange our production techniques, our experiences on our AMAP, etc. .... Once I had confirmation of technology as I started to put in place to limit the effects of late frost on flowering peach trees. And I have explained how we have implemented in the management group to calculate the contract price, etc. ... It came out very clear, now real fruit ( with taste and variety) is not found are consolidated and that the search for these fruits.

The arbo is even more subject to climatic hazards which continually jostle our gardens.
In 2008, after having had some frost, hail were done on the remains! How can they pass to the next season? Under the current system does nothing to solve this kind of disaster. And the price per kilo is so low that the farmer can not "make reservations" in good years to survive in years like this. The AMAP
have a role to play.
continue constructing for our children thank us (to paraphrase Daniel!)

What Is The Best Materialfor A Lever

Peinturlur'âges: Old Age and Creativity Workshop

Conference-exposure
under Week in Lunel Blue
with Malena Merlo, host workshops " Alzheimer, talk to me in art "



Slideshow workshops "about Alzheimer me Art "

editing: Malena Merlo



" dependent elders and their families: towards an intergenerational communication creative "

Peinturlur'âges is an invitation to reflection traces the innovative experience Alzheimer talk to me in art conducted in 2008 within the LINC countries Lunel:

What is the purpose and meaning of these art workshops? Is Art Therapy? Is it replicable experiences? What impact on the lives of the elderly weakened by losses due to aging or isolation? And the person with dementia?

The idea of linking old and creativity is not new: it is known that old age is conducive to creativity. Yet this does not translate enough into professional practices in the aid relationship, nor conveyed in the image of the older person within our society.

It becomes necessary to avoid the stigma of the loss and focus around the relationship of these resources and capabilities of the individual. The ability to express themselves other than by word is part of these resources. Regardless of whether this expression is artistic in nature or not ...

Putting Alcohol In A Camelbak

painting of St. Maurice Navacelles


When WEEK BLUE, organized by LINC Agreement and the District of Lodeve Caylar, Aratousages leads a workshop introduction to painting in the charming village of Saint Maurice Navacelles.

Thirty people were registered to attend this workshop. I confess
have been relieved when only a dozen have landed buses from Lodeve (mentor 30 people to learn to paint is not an easy task!).

Another great session full of meetings, discoveries and surprises. Participants were able to enjoy through a new approach * the plastic support and ownership of the painting, each in its own way .

Second success, after the success of the first painting workshop led by Aratousages Township. This first workshop was held last June in Pégairolles Escalette the county during the tour "Ageing Well in the Hérault "organized by the General Council in connection with the LINC Agreement.


is certainly the beginning of a beautiful adventure!

* new to the participants themselves ...





Thanks again to the team LINC Agreement, always lively and friendly.

Pokemon Card Value Chart 2010

2008 - just Price

"Fair price" >

warhorse of our discourse
all the sauces it is served! I see ads on the outskirts of aglommeration, on TV, thrown to the poor, exhibited the more fitted, in good conscience and the wealthy ......... unless it is the right price ?? I know! But it is there among us and also our commitments activists! Bizarre! Same words in all camps!
For those who were not there yet ..... in 2000, the birth of the CSA concept in France ...... machine were on their way. And what could bring the fact to "keep the peasant on his land, hoping to" keep Foodland.
of this movement there, all my soul, my story, my whole body (my last child was born late December 2000), picked me up and carries me from this blade.
My involvement is just my everyday since!
With the creation of my farm, with you, with this Earth My daily work with my motivation to the creation of other AMAP, here and there, with my involvement with Daniel, etc. .... .. blah! I emerged from the images to better communicate to the body, the ...... CSA concept is:
* = threefold economic, social, environmental, with the central axis: * HUMAN contract = production darling, letters (or else!), the link to Mother Earth, the link the farming, etc. ... with central axis and engine PEASANT
With these ingredients, AMAP made its menu! Each has its own recipe! It depends on the players YOU MY DEAR AMAPIENS.

At the end of this fifth season, I can ask and observations: *
I am capable of filling the baskets every week throughout the season! Even if it's not with the fruits that we (you and me) want so much!

* I am able to produce! I found a way to have enough water to grow strawberries in a field vines, to produce melons and watermelons, etc. ..... a recalcitrant
: tomato!

And even if the results are not still here because it is along the trees, the fruit is on the way .....

It is time for thinking of me! Finally I think to myself! I know how you feel so strong to me, all your accounts, your smiles, thanks, I know ... so much. No, now I must think of me. I proved, I must admit I'm not so bad I must think of me.
I gave during those 5 years all I am. It was for me, my way. It helped me grow to be, and I say from the bottom of my heart, THANK

But I got to the end! The path now is that the sustainability! The peasant!
Less time working in 'high season'
More enumeration
Inevitably we come back to fair price!! for whom? For you? For me? For all of us? The reflexion
must lead.
I am very confident, my management group at its first meeting Wednesday, Oct. 22.

What Does Running Affect

2008-9 "The MAP"

"PAM" >
ah PAM! There are gardeners, wine growers, grain farmers, ranchers, arbo course! And there are the MAP! And WFP, I loves me in my gardens and you consolidated, or you do not miss, either you sulk conspicuously! And yet they are fine, amazing, creative and deliciously delicate! While not found? Medicinal Aromatic Plants

.
And like their kind arbo, producers of WFP are a particular style. They are the mountain areas as agriculture has moved away .... they cultivate thyme with all sorts of 'phenol' and run wild places to experience the rare medicinal .... and often in their Magic workshops, they distill out the species: energy sources, smells and subtle powers. And bin
fascinated me the peasant of arbo, I am bewitched by the WFP. So I grow! And wish I could grow even more kinds, but first the arbo. You see yourself with a basket filled with WFP? While those who love it give ideas to those who watch it! And it would be wise to take advantage of winter to put it on paper and share it. For those who have the computer, do it on the yahoo group, if other give them to me or my amap links in your site to collect the revenue pages.

This season I have innovated in marjoram and oregano. Two very close to the same scientific name Origanum '. marjoram (Origanum majorana) is a cultivated plant with grayish foliage and velvety Oregano (Origanum vulgare) found in the wild with foliage green and slightly hairy.

Good're very serious. You will be obliged! Completing the assessments of my 2008 season. This year, to have 100% response, you must fill them on site at the time of attendance sheet. You say to me that you always forget to émarger! I know it's bazarre end of each distro! But there will amapiens catch up to you! Then you glue the questionnaire! To me your answers provide valuable information on how you feel. With them we will work on the contract price, 2009, but also on managing the short and medium term exploitation. We also balances economic, social, environmental, personal, etc. .... to refine our decisions. I say "WE" because we are a decade in this management group. I bring the different elements, and are exchanged. The composition of this group is two amapiens each of my amap. It is open and you're welcome. Your eyes
necessarily bring some interesting things. Next
Management Group October 22 to 18 h

It's raining! As nature is happy. As trees benefit. As the earth delights. As the strawberries rot!! Damage, they promise to produce again and as it is less hot, they are big! But they really do not like rain. On two flowerbeds, I covered tunnels with small caterpillars. On the third I wanted to do, but I could not push the hoop was too dry! go figure! Now it would be worth more but it's all rot! " but hey I'll do Sunday with the kids!
So, I am afraid that the distributions end up quicker. Unless a beautiful sunny and warm period in the making. In all cases, I harvest as it can make a distribution like that you'll still treat you a little help.

And then winter break with his relative. I must be very vigilant on my rest to me. I really need it and I tend to forget as soon as I feel a little better!
And although again this season, we still do not have sufficient these peaches, I know casually, operation matures and soon we will be surprised at all of these beautiful baskets. I know I made mistakes, I have not had a chance, and everything! But if I can take a little longer, it will happen. I know.
This winter will set up a new small orchard of figs (one planted at the creation is very disappointing and completely heterogeneous) on the site log, a patch of raspberries under the arches of the greenhouse where the plastic is dead, it will be replaced by a shade. I want to clear a small plot at the neighbor who has been abandoned for 15 years and will RCW (RCW fragmented, see previous letters) for growing raspberries. But good is not won with the neighbor.
And we must improve the existing: to build small huts to house the pump at the edge of the basin Peissonnel and that the log on the site, eventually burying the cables and hoses, tidy, clean, tidy, clean, inventing tricks, improve existing ones that work, and well calculated for all the 2009 season is going well. In
Now I'm late on planting strawberries of spring! And prepares the composting manure and sow the green manure and for them the rain is a gift! so ........

"Alzheimer talk to me in art"



Photo: Paula Rocha


"Alzheimer talk to me in art" part of the program of accompaniment and support to people affected by Alzheimer's disease conducted in 2008 by LINC Lunel countries, initiated by Fabien Boissonade, host- LINC coordinator.

Painting is offered as support meetings at three workshop sessions where people are invited to participate in pairs CG helped. ARATOUSAGES becomes a partner in this experience through the General Council under the program "Ageing Well in the Hérault" .

I want to thank Mary Caze, special assistant to the General Council Hérault, for her dedication, enthusiasm and listening.

Location: Lunel CLICK
Number of participants: a total of 18 people (people with disease type Alzheimer's and their companion)
Moderator: Malena Merlo





Specific Purposes workshops Alzheimer talk to me in art

Propose an experiment Intergenerational meeting between parents frail adults and their families through artistic activity focusing on the nonverbal dimension.

This is a targeted action without treatment.

discipline plastic proposed as support for meeting and communication, is one of abstract painting (not figurative). Abstract painting can begin its work, leaving aside the concern of the result, for this focus on the action of painting itself. It can be addressed collectively (two or three people working on one sheet) or individual according to the wishes of the participants.



pedagogy, methodology and procedures of 3 workshops

The methodology is based on a pedagogy of creation that allows each participant to capture "the way "the artistic medium and gradually build its own expressive universe. This pedagogy aims to highlight the identity and history of the individual in the idea to perform work on the image of the person (the image perceived by itself and the image perceived by others) .

The collective work can focus on the use of language as a medium to explore the relation to each other in the sharing of territories: listening, respecting the choices of another of its space, identity and acceptance and value of its present capabilities. The report of the body, gesture, spontaneity of gesture, the pleasure of making and doing together are the heart of the process.

Thus, apart from the information and notes of work proposed, the workshop participants (caregivers and helpers) are routinely asked about the conditions of progress each meeting, including the fate of works created, in order to ensure informed participation and ownership of up to action.




A Woman Doctor Touch My Penis

Alzheimer talk me into art ... 1st meeting


March 18, 2008 1st session: Collage and gestures. For an approach to abstract painting.

Work individually. The instructions concern the procedures to provide benchmarks for everyone to understand painting. The bonding can appropriate the space starting form, which helps the composition. The gesture helps relieve hand and discuss the painting as a bodily act.








The first three works have been carried out by Raymond, who has a regular practice of a style all his own. The latter is carried out by his female companion.





Jacques performs two works very different from one another. The first intimate, more in his image, according to his own desires and its history. The second, experimental, open to other possibilities of expression and in my opinion, imbued with the energy of the works carried out around him.





Jacques is accompanied by his beautiful daughter, who, without doubt, proved a great "amateur" of abstract painting! (Above)






According to his wife accompanying Rene "never want to do anything." Yet his achievement reveals a surprising spontaneity (top). His wife tries every way to be the author! (Bottom)




Yves also proves very comfortable with the plastic support as evidenced by these two realizations.






His wife, her, groping and experimenting ... without being less expressive!






Andree and I, we learn to know, to connect by lines, gestures, colors, but also by the look and laugh ... Gabriel, married her, lets himself carried away by his imagination soar.

2nd session: Sharing territories. Speak colors.

Work in pairs. Share the sheet to learn to listen differently. This is a technique of nonverbal communication. The caregiver is guided by the person being cared for: it for her to dictate its rules. The person experiencing loss can thus assert its own resources and abilities of expression.
