And here we are again, in the thick of the dark days, waiting for the light, waiting for the recharge of solar energy into our bones and brains. The year shifts from practice to a bit more theory and planning. We tend to our ecological relations in different ways — in sometimes more subtle ways,Continue reading “Solstice Happenings”

Intentional Time
That’s where we’re at these days — defining, living, seeking out, and maybe lamenting the lack of intentional time. Time we spend intentionally being present in our lives, in the world we want to live, is a focus we are trying to pay heed to. It’s hard — because it’s so easy to swept upContinue reading “Intentional Time”
Foliage and Past Autumns
The autumn of things is in their focus inward; saving all the resplendent energies to rest, repair, and then to rebuild (as seasons cycle). The colors of this fading summer woo us with promises of rebirth, sure, but generally, we are on the same path and find that we are much more wooed by theContinue reading “Foliage and Past Autumns”
Catching Up on our ‘Weekend’
Someone walked into the shop the other day and before we could even greet them accusingly inquired, “Why are you closed on Wednesday and Thursday?!” and I get it, it’s the middle of the week but it’s just the two of us so we need to take some time off and since we are alsoContinue reading “Catching Up on our ‘Weekend’”
Tuesday Happenings: Common Ground Fair 2025
Happy Autumnal Equinox! Our favorite family celebration for years now has been the Common Ground Country Fair. Taking our little pea is always an adventure — we love taking her up to the MOFGA (Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association) grounds for any kind of event (workshops, ME Apple Weekend, etc) but the Fair isContinue reading “Tuesday Happenings: Common Ground Fair 2025”
Mid-week Check-In: (r)evolutions
There are all kinds of revolutions — astrological/cosmological/seasonal (all connected, of course, as similar engagements), political, personal, and ecological, as a few in mind. Our wytchy selves here focus on all of these as a piece — to be connected to ourselves, we have to be connected in nature (or aware of this nature, we’reContinue reading “Mid-week Check-In: (r)evolutions”
Summer Solstice
This Summer starts with a healthy dose of heat and humidity. And though we’ve had rain every week, it still feels a little dry in the garden (the corn are really calling to me to carry water up to them — days past we had a watering system in the garden but between changing upContinue reading “Summer Solstice”
Tuesday Happenings: Springing
Discovery is always a thrill, no matter the season, but there is something about the new tendrils of growth and baby shoots to invigorate the senses. Right up until the allergies hit, we can breathe a little deeper and feel that things are about to change. It feels like a shift we can translate fromContinue reading “Tuesday Happenings: Springing”
Happenings: In Transition and Translation
It’s been a minute since we’ve posted about our homestead adventure. Sometimes things take a turn and you’re back to wondering what exactly is the definition of homesteading and why does it matter? The place the world is in right now is a great reminder of why it matters and what it is becomes experientialContinue reading “Happenings: In Transition and Translation”
Deep Winter Happenings
It’s been a bit of a back and forth with the weather — snow every other week, biting cold every other week from that. It feels like a ‘real’ Winter, for sure. But somehow we’ve missed it, we only see it peripherally these days and rarely get to get out in it. We thought thereContinue reading “Deep Winter Happenings”
