Wheel of the Year

I spent the weekend with my family in good ol Moorefield & Petersburg, WV. Although I do not go here often nor see my family often it is nice to see them and watch how they have changed over the past year. We attened the Spring Mountain Festival in Petersburg, WV and then I went to a Ramp Dinner with my best friend from high school, Gail. Overall it was a blast learning new things and catching up on the old. I tell you, friends have better memories than we ever do! My Dad & Jackie sucking their thumbs!

With May around the corner, it brings to me the realization that life truly is a blessing. I hot tubbed with a dear friend of mine, Steffanie this evening. It was great and I realized how important it is to have people...I just wanted to say thank you to my people. Mary

One of my favorite parts at Tai Sophia is going to Jim Duke's Green Farmacy....His garden is amazing in size, variety, and beauty. It is an herbalist's dream world. The best part is watching Dr. Duke eat everything we are told we are not supposed to. The Notorious Jim Duke Ramps..mmmmmmm Eleuthero Jim speaking about Fiddle Head Ferns

These are pictures of my last weekend at Tai Sophia for Semester #2. I spent the weekend out with Susan at "Growing Wisdom Gardens". Nice name, has a ring to it. It was beautiful...the flowers almost look like snow instead of spring. Check out the pictures below... Heaps of Flowers Cherry Blossoms or Dogwood?
