Our family has dedicated the first day of 2025 to envision and dream about what is next for Colibri Commons. We are dreaming about building a food forest, a small coffee shop/tree house, naming our homes. It is home.
Here there go the names. The existing home is Casa Colibri, the two new units are blue jay house (south side) and owl house (north side). The community space is casa Esperanza and our chicken coop is casa kombucha. Kombucha was a hen was a rescued but that died and was buried at the same site where the coop was later built. So, her spirit protects the coop.
Casa aqua is the green house where we hope to grow aquaponics. And finally, we hope to set a small coffee shop/tree house close to the pond under the big tree.
The food forest is planned to be in a narrow area (19 by 66 ft) on the south side. It would be nice to have a small dome built to integrate with the food forest and the rest of the plants. We probably build that ourselves, just like the chicken coop.
These dreams are not going to happen right away. We still need to recover from the investment of the ADU and restore the soil after all the work done in the property.
Let’s see what five years from now this looks like.
