I can't not blog today because I didn't yesterday and the year before

Lithuanian Jores or Beltane honoring! To bring in the fertility of Spring and Bless our garden we made Garden Goddesses....each unique and very magical! Typically Lithuanians would set up a swing in the forest and take turns flying through the air - our goddesses will have to do the flying for us this May until we find a suitable forest tree....We also started the first batch of oil for our healing Comfrey salve - just can't get enough of it.

Osha la, Osha, Bear Medicine, Empress of the Dark Forest, Colorado Cough Root, Loveroot, Lovage....

Oh, Osha laaaaaaaa! Our lovely Osha root, specifically chosen with Kahill in mind.Wow, it looks a bit male? Our root was so perfect, I don't think we can chop the ends for tincture...our Osha will be dried, whole and used as a powerful healing tea this winter. What a fantastic weekend spent with Osha in the mind, body and soul....thanks to Ann Drucker and Jenny for keeping such a powerful and loving space!

A final Fall Hurrah in our beloved Crested Butte

We spent an amazing weekend with friends Heath, Holly, their boys Tristen and Aiden. Last minute camping....comforting to know that we forget just as many or few camping essentials whether we are rushing out the door, or taking a week to prepare :) And we had the place to ourselves.....

Fall Fetishes

Wool washing, and more veg harvest. This beautiful wool came from our own Lyon's Farmette sheep, tended and loved by Karen Wallace. This particular batch was from her Navajo Churro sheep which were the very first domesticated sheep of the new world and have endured for over 400 years.

Cass is at the Cross again!

The cold couldn't keep Cass off his bike or from taking...well, we'll have to go with top 4 since ACA has him taking 1st place, or not even being there? Hmmmm...we'll see how long this takes to clear up:)

Harvest time!!

Mmm...nothing like filling the house with the smell of carefully tended garden veg, just plucked, and feeling safe with a winter's worth of food tucked in the cupboards....with a friend....
Thanks Holly!

I can fly!

He's little, but has big goals...taking after his big bros!

Odie goes long....
