shadows in the sundial


Spring is full of flowers and roots, work and play, songs and fires, bunnies and dogs...
Sweet insistent Tumeric, oh how you keep surprising us in the garden! Numerous, generous, a fantastic harvest.

The garden is full of delight. Even the butterflies plant themselves in the beds... of course, bunny manure is seducing magic...


Making Micro-Orgasmic Cocktail fertilizer for the new beds... eggshells, leaves from the forest, yeast, cane sugar, bunny manure, cow manure (aged for added fragrance), grass clippings, wild plants, and a little anaerobic patience, and voila! Excellence for the soil!

 Also, we've been exploring natural paint making...
 ...and testing it on the walls of the back bedroom in the House on the Hill.
 Forking... leads to spooning?


Eating mulberry pie! Mia, the kitchen goddess, is full of surprises!
 The elephant grass, alas, found another use... mulch!

Double-digging the new gardens (aka, the work)...

Sheet-mulching (aka the play), with chopped banana stems and leaves, humanure compost, sawdust, bunny compost, chicken bedding, and elephant grass mulch. Ready to go! 
 Maria being discreet.
 The new mud cabin, getting bottled up.
 Dreamy wall building...
 Excursions in the forest to find medicine plants...
 And wild mushroom harvesting!
 Never too much elephant grass...
 Bunny love!
