Spent last weekend in fields of flowers in the most unlikely place! Wow!! Pictures will show more than words...Luna and I in a valley full of sunflowers...People everywhere, waist deep in flowers.....Hill and mountain-sides, covered....Salt Creek, in the middle of the valley, running with water. Guess who played in the mud?Yes, that's correct. A LAKE!!! Badwater is about 2 feet deep in some

I'm off to gather Yerba Mansa in the desert. See you next week. It will be very nice to get away from the computer screen. It really takes time to set up the blog, but what a wonderful way to share information. I'll have lots of 'how to avoid the flu' tips when I get back.

Mindful Every day I see or hear something that more or less kills me with delight, that leaves me like a needle in the haystack of light. It was what I was born for - to look, to listen, to lose myself inside this soft world - to instruct myself over and over in joy, and acclamation. Nor am I talking about the exceptional, the fearful, the dreadful, the very extravagant - but of

I've added a few more roots and leaves to site. Links to some of my favorite places. Books I'm reading or always referring too. I'm going to add a page of favorite herbal teas and tonics soon. I'll be away from the computer for a few days. The weather is great and I'm going outdoors to gather sunlight, rain and all things herbal.

This is a picture of my time spent in Waterville Valley, NH recently. (This is what I look like to myself. It keeps me from going insane; I really don't have a clue how the concept will effect you. And is that really important? hehehhhhe) While attending the American Herbalist Guild's annual conference, I had the opportunity to wander the fields and gather a few herbs. Delightful.

All new things green. Here I'll start a new Herbal blog, as yet to be named, but with good thoughts I'll gently go forward. I've picked 'Herbal Musings' until I come up with something that fits more to my thinking.
