Well, the Kindred Gatherers are gone, but lovely Dulcimer rifts still waft through the Canyon, along with fond memories of a stellar group. We are sad to see our Wwoofer Minta go this fall, but she will be staying on for a little while longer and we will cherish the time. The Blueberries and Strawberries are ON! There are a few Rasberries on the new canes and Tomatoes are finally starting to ripen. Minta did a seed to table project with Amaranth, and now it is one of my favorite crops, grown as a grain, but she harvested the greens (or magentas as it were) and stir fried them up with a little of our Mission Olive oil and garlic from the garden. MMMMmmmmmm. We acquired a new hen and her chicks from a neighbor who's dog was eating a chick a day. When the dogs mauled the mother, our neighbor showed up with a box, and now we are home to Fillus, the Auracana with her babies Fritzie and Freddy. Flea was also a chick, who died under his mother's wing during the night, go figure, the circle of Life. We are open to campers for the Labor day weekend.... the River swimming is fantastic. We have been dog sitting Sage, who, although she misses her owner David, is having a good time in the country. Well, just a stream of conciousness for now.... Love to all.... PS. Looking forward to meeting an Earth savvy new neighbor named Fred.... He is majorly into Wind and Solar power.... look him up under WinSol33.... Well, all for now...
