I just finished up another 3 day ‘Plant Medicine for Bodyworkers’ series for the massage students at CRI. Every time it’s different, depending on the season and what’s available to harvest. This week @farmermamagrace hosted us at her place where we made fire cider and elderberry elixir ✨

Work doesn’t get much better than this. Learning from this wild river with a group of wise and lovely people.

Annual ‘Maya’s birthday/rose harvest’ week. I’ve got a big batch in the drying racks and jar of Maya’s favorite rose petal + lemon balm glycerite macerating.

The thing about drying calendula - do it on trays, upside down. Otherwise the petals get all shriveled up.

Three Mint Tea.... I may have eaten too much candy while stuffing Easter eggs, and am doing my best to counteract it. This is Spearmint, Lemon Balm and Anise Hyssop, all of which are happily taking over my yard and need zero care from me. I have daydreams of wading through hip deep lemon balm to get to my door. We’re well on our way.

My boy. What a sweet heart he has. He has a friend over this afternoon and in between smashing rocks with other rocks, rolling things down hills and throwing heavy things, he hiked down our big hill and picked me ‘the prettiest flower on the whole hill’. Our Balsamroot seems particularly vibrant this year, but maybe that’s just Spring speaking. I’ve yet to harvest any roots or make medicine with Balsamroot, despite our local abundance. For now we’re just working on getting to know each other. Admiring each other’s beauty.
