So things got a little bit wild and overgrown.

I'll be posting my progress on cleaning up this mess.

However I was able to collect a whole bunch of Spanish needle and I am super excited.

For those of you who don't know Spanish needle is edible and incredibly nutritious, the seeds can be used as a topical analgesic, and the dried leaves can be used as a to***co substitute.

It occurred to me that I have never had a party. I haven't been at a point where I felt stable enough in the future. Now that I'm at the most uncertain point in my life... I realize that it doesn't matter.

I am going to party on Saturday August 31st. It will either be a victory housewarming party or a last hurray! No matter which we are going to have a blast.

Let me know if you want to come!

So, props to Kush for bringing the best gift a cat has ever brought me. A snuggly, domestic (maybe) bird... No birds were harmed in the bringing of this gift! Slight injury to the wing that is unrelated to his rescue.

We got the bestest cat!

Orcas sinking ships, shark bringing us a turtle to save, deer seeking us out to save her baby, and now this... It's like the animal kingdom is welcoming us back into the natural world, IF we are willing to be a part of it. If not, well refer to the first story. None of us wrote the histories that lead is here. All of us are writing the future! Where do we want it to lead?

Happy World Meditation Day to all our fellow homesteaders! Today we celebrate the power of mindfulness and inner peace. Did you know that meditation is not just about sitting still and emptying the mind? In fact, there is a meditation of action, also known as the yoga of action, which emphasizes bringing mindful awareness to our daily tasks and actions. As homesteaders, we know the value of being present and intentional in our gardening and farming practices. Let us take a moment to connect with the earth and our bodies, to breathe deeply and move with purpose. Let us cultivate not only healthy crops and animals but also a sense of harmony and balance within ourselves and with the world around us. Happy meditating!

We've been very busy this month. Our tilapia have become parents. This means a great deal of excitement, but also a lot of work setting up new ponds. We have been up to our elbows, literally, in muck, trying to make more room for our little scaly friends. :)
