Today I am glad for my friend who helped me with my sewing machine. I am also glad to have another friend to sew for, and yet another friend to make candles for

Joy is small. It is quiet. It sneaks in to everyday life and it can be overlooked so easily. I am trying not to overlook joy and contentment. I’m leaning into gratitude and peace.

Life is pretty funny. Sometimes you think you’ve found a treasure and you think you know what to do and how to treat it. Sometimes, through no fault of your own, you ruin it because of inexperience. Things are like that. People are like that. Not everyone or everything can be colorfast.

I’m living closer to the land than I ever have before. This evergreen huckleberry surprised me on my walk today and began to dictate the rest of my week with a demand for harvest. I am grateful for all the teaching I have received that will allow me to take advantage of the free food at my doorstep.

My partner comes from a farming family. When they share, I feel so lucky to have access to fresh food. They truly embrace the spirit of generosity. This week we had been gifted some figs. So naturally we have to make jam, and will give the family some.

I think that you can miss out on life by not romanticizing it. Breakfast today is from backyard chickens, homegrown tomatoes and home made apple butter. Naturally enjoyed with someone I love. Happy Sunday.

Today my cyclamen plant (a rescue from my research planting site) finally bloomed. I have never had a plant bloom indoors in my care before. It’s a very rewarding experience!

Late summer, early fall. It’s time to harvest. Winter is around the corner. There will be hunger, and cold, but now is the time to prepare. My life is like this right now. It’s time to gather up and store. The future is uncertain, but there is opportunity in the present

I’ve spent this weekend trying to feed my soul. I am happiest when I am allowed to practice an analog life. I am my most fulfilled when I can knit, and make tinctures and bake breads and dry herbs, and grow plants and read. There are too many things in life that push me around too fast. 🐌🐢🌱

The ocean is full 'cause everyone's crying The full moon is looking for friends at high tide The sorrow grows bigger when the sorrow's denied I only know my mind I am mine
