We're up to 5 folks who've signed up to join us for our day of mindfulness next Sunday on June 14, so we're close to reaching our minimum number for attendance. It's likely we'll go ahead with the event but we do like to have at least 6 folks, as often 1 or 2 people cancel. If you feel inspired to join us and can make it, please RSVP through the Eventbrite link.

Also: we'd be glad to take folks on a walking tour after lunch if anyone wants to stick around and learn a little more about our off-grid living systems and check out our small cabin and building projects in motion.

Mike's milling up some wood from a downed tree on our property to use as the framing for the two new compost style outhouses we're making. One will be up in Morning Sun Meadow and the other will be by the Guest Hut.

when looking up from my boiling kettle
to see deer foraging just outside

These little ones just started coming up at EM. They're one of my favorites: cat's ear, AKA mariposa Lily.
