I grew up in northern Maine. A place where winter begins in November and begins to recede in April. In high school, the baseball team usually had to postpone their first few games of the season because there would still be snow on the field. Temperatures can easily reach -20 Fahrenheit and can even go as low as -35 or -40. One snow storm can drop 16 inches of snow. Driving is treacherous and the sun in set by 4 p.m. This is what I grew up with.

Anyway, Jenny has been very busy and has a lot of very cool projects she's working on. She's working with her community doing a lot of gardening, the village just received several sewing machines, and they're looking at a water tank project and composting toilets.
