Jenny's Mansion visit and tree update

Barbara, Bill and I visited this Mansion in Patagonia, just south of Tuscon. Her friends inherited this place from their great aunt Jenny who was a famous writer.
In her will she wanted to turn it into a place for children to retried and learn about permaculture and taking care of the land.
