Ooooh, the last few days have been long! We are spending every spare moment up at the land… What do you think about “Dandelion Homestead”? Is that what we should call the new place?
Anyway, yesterday I got those strawberries that I bartered some herbs for… there were supposed to be ~100 of them, right?? Well, the woman who dropped them off showed up with a 55 gallon bag full of them and there had to be ~600!!! I planted 150 yesterday morning and couldn’t find any more space! I hope they take!! Yum!! (Am I using enough exclamation points for you?) T has also layed out the site for the temporary house and dug the post holes.
Anyhoo, I taught my first class at the school yesterday; Male Anatomy & Physiology for the herbalist. I think it went really well. Sometimes I felt like I was just rambling on, but everyone seemed to be paying attention and asking questions. I also brought the extra strawberries and gave them to whoever would take them!
Right after I taught my class, I sat in on an organic gardening class. We are going to get to take home seedlings from this class, so I really need to get my raised beds going. I wasn’t planning on starting a garden this year since we have so much going on with building the house, but it looks like life has other gardening plans for me 🙂
Oh, and you know that class I am taking with Aviva Romm? Well, she has asked if she can use a personal story of mine in her next book. It may not happen, ’cause the book is alreay 1200 pages long, but still, isn’t that cool!
So many other things have happened in the last week, but my brain is fried, so I will go sleep first and write more later.
Sleep tight!
Wow! lots of excitement. I love the name, btw. 😉
Hey mama – I started doing the pysanka three years ago and they’re so much fun! My locak source for the real deal supplies went out of business, but this year I did fine with procion (cold water) fabric dyes, and a fine icing tip wired to a dowel…. Maybe next year you two could use crayons and dye, just to get familiar with it….
sounds like a (good) full life! i’m happy that it is going so well for you.
Yummy strawberries, I wish I lived near you I could use some m ore.
I like Dandelion Homestead, here’s some other ideas:
Dandelion Hill
Dandelion Hollow
Good luck on the progress you are making. When we first moved into our home we were gutting the first thing I did was rip out the lawn and put in a garden. My dh thought I was nuts. The land really wanted to grow stuff though and I couldn’t wait!
I like dandelion hollar (or hollow) very much
That’s what I was thinking… either Dandelion Homestead or Dandelion Hollar for the home website, and then, maybe Dandelion Forest Herbs, or something like that for my “maria the herbalist” site. I’ll let you know. Soon, I will have to transfer my whole blog over, once the business sells.
I am so excited for you, I love the name Dandelion Homestead. I also like Dandelion Hollar. Beautiful! Blessings, Lj
