So, we got a email letter yesterday sent to our website (I’ll share it below because why not…it’s interesting to see people’s words and thinking, but without their name because public shaming people who do not know any better is not our thing) which solidified how we’ve been feeling in this area lately. We knowContinue reading “Tuesday Happenings: welcoming the good that comes from the bad…”

It’s been a week for sure. Just when we think we are getting caught up, another wave rolls us over. I haven’t foraged yet this year, and as of today haven’t seen the garden in a week — who knows what’s going on out there?!! If we’re lucky, all the plants are working it out,Continue reading “Tuesday Happens: Cosmic Imbalance”

It’s been a whirlwind of a weekend, family and friend visitations, a big birthday (whoo hoo!), and a town event (not as big as one would have hoped, but still sizeable). Many hats in many rings (many rings on one hat?). We have survived and are now on our ‘weekend’ which also happens to beContinue reading “Tuesday: Recap”

We’ve got so many good things going on we can barely sit still. The Solstic energy is getting us revved up to have some fun. The homestead is ready to be re-imagined and enjoyed — gardens galore needing wattle fencing, grapes exploding and ready to be trellised, flower garlands and rock patterns dying to beContinue reading “Tuesday Happenings: New Moves”

We’re getting to a place where we need to rethink our systems. Pretty much all of them: homesteading, parenting, the shop, our creative endeavors, our eating habits…what we thought was a goal is now either satisfied or will not come to be. I’m not one to think of success or failure as measures — theContinue reading “The Happenings on Tuesday: Redeux”

Somedays it is hard to tell if they are growing pains or growing pleasants but I’m going to focus on the latter today. We’ve seen some lovely developments of character, community, and focus happening inspiring us to be able to move forward. We did some amazing networking last week with a group who understand theContinue reading “Tuesday Happenings: Growing”

It was absolutely fabulous to meet and talk with like-minded folks last night at Every Light Wellness. We’ve been feeling a little lost, without a community to grow with, and it was very heartening to know we are not alone (and yet there are so many that feel this way…get in touch, we’ll connect you).Continue reading “2 Do List Tuesday: mid-week ‘weekend’”

Oh, the sun is shining so nicely these days, interspersed with Spring rains (doing their lovely job of curbing the Browntail Moth population — thank you, thank you, thank you). The garden still awaits our attentions and in true crazy-life-fashion we will get to it in one fell swoop along with getting the house underContinue reading “Tuesday Happenings: Reality Check”

We only got to experience the 98% but it was still pretty amazing! It was amazing to use our fancy little lo-tek cardboard glasses to see the moon inch across the sun’s path, it was amazing to see the strange light and shadows — the crazy stillness, it was amazing to see that 2% ofContinue reading “The Sign of the Eclipse”

Taking the extra day to catch up on things left by the wayside lately (like the blog, and more seedlings, and the new work in the studio, and spring cleaning) is welcome despite the nervousness of a bad business month. I’m calling it the Spring Snow Doom Storm, though it is not so doomy orContinue reading “Special Spring Snow Day Update”
