Online at home :
) so much has happened and I have so
many un-posted journals posts. But things go as they will and it’s easier to
drift with the currents, taking pauses here and there to tie a ribbon on a twig
and take note of the ribbons left by my brothers and sisters as they travel on
their own journeys.

It’s 7:00pm , Thursday June 20, 2013 . Tomorrow is
the Summer Solstice and Thank the Mother & Father we have a bit of garden
in and the weather has been most excellent so far this year. And things in
general have been very good.
I have bread rising which should be ready for the oven just
past 8:00 when it’s a bit cooler. In
warm weather I try to do any such thing in the evenings or cook out on the
grill. We had venison burgers and pit beans the other day from the grill and
they were wonderful.
We’re building a bathhouse out of an extra metal gazebo I didn't realize we had. It’s working perfectly and filling in for the solar
shower that’s still not been rebuilt. I’ll take pictures of it soon.
I’ve been commissioned to do a set of whimsical paintings
for a new bakery opening up in town. It’s been so long since I’ve had any such
work that I had forgotten what to do! The deal is confirmed but the details
haven’t been all worked out yet. It’s a small thing but so sweet just the same.
My salves and balms are now selling at Jean’s Healthway in
Ava. It’s a good community thing, folks working together like companion
planting in a vast and wonderful garden.
We lost our Thistle, Mother bless her. I can’t remember if
that got posted or not. We went without dairy for a time. I had some milk
frozen but I only use it for cooking, we don’t care for it for drinking, and
not enough for cheese or butter. I finally broke down and bought milk from the
T&C and soy milk for myself but we sooo miss our wild moon milk. Which we may
have again very soon : )
I guess that’s all for now, it’s 7:30 and I have things to do. A bit of time online before
the bread is ready for the oven, then a late supper and some sewing.
I hope everyone is fine and wonderful!! Merry Blessed Solstice : )

I hope you had a Happy Solstice. Today is Midsummer's Eve here - so Happy Midsummer! I was glad to see a post from you and to read that all seems to be going well, although I'm sorry to hear about Thistle, Janine :)
Glad things are going well, Jules...it finally stopped raining up here long enough to get the gardens in. Ben some crazy weather. Supposed to rain again tomorrow.
Sorry to hear about Thistle...
