Mother Earth News's "111 Modern Homesteading Articles" on CD ROM. As soon as this powerful, moving, and overwhelming national conference is over (I worked 14 hours yesterday through moving speeches, tears, and laughter) I am going to devour every 111th article.
Moving day is tomorrow. Soon we will post pictures of the land in all of it's beauty. My two major concerns are the supposed locust infestation (we'll see just to what extent the locusts have damaged plants and what different people mean by infestation) and a red fungus on the cottonwood trees, which will be a really big bummer to chainsaw down. My immediate remedy? TEAS! Chamomile, comfrey, and nettles brewed into a medium to light-strengthed tea sprayed on flora can cure many ills. This is my favorite journey so far...
Just got back from a self-sustaining organic farm here in Sequim. A.MAZ.ING! Can't wait to visit yours!!
ReplyDeleteWhat was the name of the recording/artist we listened to in the hotel in Santa Fe. Was it Sarah Pirtle's "Magical Earth"?
