Operation Eden at one Year

Clayton Cubitt is back, on this, the one year Katrina date. He has an absolutely beautiful picture of his Mom, and some of his great writing here. He talks about the outpouring of support his mother has received. I’ll cite one paragraph from the post:

One day there’s a moldering heap of rubble, the next day hippie volunteers from Burning Man bulldoze it and take it away. One day it’s a flat slab of concrete, the next day a pre-fab home kit is delivered by One House At A Time and New Hope Construction. One day there’s a jumble of materials, the next day a church group from Oregon shows up and builds the frame and shell. A little later a group from Pennsylvania shows up and paints it my mom’s favorite shade of green, and puts a tin roof on so she can hear the rain fall at night. And not to be outdone, a group from Alabama comes over and sheet rocks the interior, then comes back and builds her a deck for good measure.

Read the whole thing.
