Happy Fall Y'all! We had an aromatic time at the Potpourri Bar event in our community. We made our own lavender sachets, simmering potpourri bag, and wintry green potpourri bag.

For our simmering potpourri, we had dried orange and lemon slices, cinnamon sticks, cloves, anise, dried rosemary sprigs, and cinnamon apple tea bags. These bags are meant to be simmered on the stove for a lovely fall aroma, not to be ingested.

As for the wintry greens, we put together tiny dried pine cones, acorns, rosemary sprigs, dried eucalyptus leaves, pine needles, and several drops of either pine or lemon eucalyptus essential oil. We are ready for winter!

Our community smelled so divine when the event ended. Thank you to all who participated!

Paul joined our community this past May and has been a wonderful influence. He has a quirky sense of humor, loves helping folks out, and easily strikes up conversations with everyone.

Paul used to practice and instruct Tai Chi. He gave us an informative session and demonstration about Tai Chi - an ancient Chinese martial art that features slow, gentle movements, deep breathing, and focused meditation, often called "meditation in motion." There are five main styles: Chen Style, Yang Style, Wu Style, Sun Style, and Hao Style. The most popular is the Yang Style, which Paul practiced and demonstrated for us.

We had an interesting and curious time learning about Tai Chi. We're hoping Paul will give us some lessons in the near future!

The Wallpaper House Band graced us with their repertoire of retro, reggae, country and folk music. Between them, they play guitar, viola, banjo, mandolin and acoustic bass. They started out by mistake, slowly evolving toward each other's music and have been together for eight years, playing at various venues throughout the Boulder County area.

We learned about the band through one of our residents, who is friends with one of the band members. Thank you for sharing your musical talents and friendly, personable approach with our community!
