Duendesday: Happy Equinox!

{life with a curious and crazy 12 yr old} We wytches around here love our festivities – a time to connect with one another, make special food, and focus on the seasonal changes. We’re off on a Woods Walk today – to see how the terrain is changing, look for mushrooms, listen to birds, collectContinue reading “Duendesday: Happy Equinox!”

Tuesday: Wind-Down and Wind-Up!

So, the Harvest Party was a blast – maybe not as many folks as we were hoping but those that came were generous and enjoyable. The food was great, the weather was amazing, the band AstroPlanet was fantastic. The raffle was a nice sucess – gave away T-shirts, Maple Syrup, a CSB Membership, and ofContinue reading “Tuesday: Wind-Down and Wind-Up!”

Recipe Thursday: Party Menu

I have to say I love party menus. I love planning for parties, cooking for parties, and enjoying parties. Yes, it gets crazy and I get crazy in the midst of it sometimes (so many things going on!) but I still love it overall. This year’s Harvest Party 2022 is going to be lovely. TheContinue reading “Recipe Thursday: Party Menu”

Happenings for a Tuesday

As we get ready to invite lovely folks to the homestead, we wander and tweak the wild spaces. We’re not wanting to tame all these spaces but maybe tidy them up a bit. We had a wonderfully generous philosopher come to the house a couple of years ago who was smitten with the cultivated versusContinue reading “Happenings for a Tuesday”

Monday’s Muse

Pronoia excerpts…~ Rob Brezsny If you’re honest with yourself, you’ll confess that there are few glories more sublime and more freely available than taking a walk in nature. Simply to imagine it can fill you with sacred joy. Close your eyes and visualize yourself sauntering along a wide dirt path in a meadow bordered byContinue reading “Monday’s Muse”

Duendesday: Faerie Dreams

{life with a curious and crazy 12 yr old} End of Summer brings Samhain/Halloween dreams to the forefront – though November 1st of last year she was already designing her costume for this year, now is the time of deep decisions: Faerie Princess or Blue Faerie (not ‘The’ Blue Fairy, mind you, I’ve already beenContinue reading “Duendesday: Faerie Dreams”

Our week starts with a Typical Tuesday

Tuesdays are generally our busiest days. Josh gets up bright and early to proof bread, warm the ovens, bake the bread, and then label and bag all the orders. Then he piles it all into our tiny car with our growing child and delivers to all the good people (the St. Nick of bread? ha!).Continue reading “Our week starts with a Typical Tuesday”

Another Monday’s Muse

“My home is the Earth. It is so subtle, so pervasive, so deeply embedded in the scientific story I had painstakingly learned through my formal education; and beyond that, I am surprised by its permanence in my psyche. Of course, I had always known I was from the Earth. But my childhood upbringing had keptContinue reading “Another Monday’s Muse”

Tuesday Happenings

It was so good to see some art and get out a bit the other night for the Gardiner, ME Annual Artwalk. We stopped in to see our lovely friend Jason at Niche, Inc. and play at the Unplugged Arcade (super fun), drooled over some lovely pottery, then sauntered down to Costell & Costell GalleryContinue reading “Tuesday Happenings”
