LOTS of butterfly medicine this summer! I'm excited tonight for the delivery of more lessons. Earlier in June, i remember experiencing this erratic butterfly zooming around the Earth house. I was really actually taken back by it, this yellow/black beauty was fluttering and flying into things, and acting so out of control. I got … Continue reading Ah, the Butterfly

Eating local
I’ve decided to eat local for the rest of the summer. And I’m talking really local since I have everything I need right in my neighborhood.
