The Project Plan
Some of the colors
Today’s progress: I ran out of paint. I have to get more tomorrow and finish up the chalkboard portions. I am enjoying this project and the envisioning of the end product. This is going to be fantastic. Just wait until you see my perpetual calendar after the tape comes off tomorrow! I’m excited!!

Four years ago, Rob and I were wed after waiting years and years and longing for each other during all the time apart. Now we share 3 children, a farm, a love and a life like none either of us has ever known except for in past incarnations with each other.
I cherish you, my lover. My best friend and lifetime love. Happy hanfast, happy anniversary. Seems like forever, but in the best way possible. I look forvard to each new adventure, every year that we share.
Anniversary
April 21, 2009 at 6:24 pm (Uncategorized)
Tomorrow is our wedding anniversary. Hubby got me this long coveted Turkomen ring:
I love it.
I love him more, though. And he loves me enough to make sure I look bad-friggen-ass when I am dancing ATS.
Tomorrow is also Earth Day.
Love abounds.

March 31 and snow. There’s not much to say about that. Better now than in May like last year. Still, *sigh*.
would people STOP drinking the breast milk!?
March 25, 2009 at 10:18 am (Breastfeeding, Breasts, Children, Family, Food, Friends, General Musings, Human Milk, Love, Nursing, Raw Milk, Wimmin, crazy silly happy fun time, human, immunity, local food, sacredness)
So I pumped. This is a remarkable feat for me. I managed to pump almost 12 entire ounces of milk from my breasts! YAY ME!
The boy refuses to drink my milk from a bottle.
So as not to let the milk spoil, I put it into not only Zoe’s hot chocolate this morning, but Grace’s and mine as well.
It made a lovely creamy hot chocolate.
“juice, squeezed from a person…”
not exactly, Rachel. But it is tasty like juice. Mine tastes like white chocolate in my opinion. Zoe says that “wahgahwah” tastes like soy milk and orange juice. Rob agrees with the Friends that it tastes like canteloupe juice. Grace says it kind of tastes yummy but she has no opinion about what it tastes like.
So should I pump more, I know my family is going to drink it even if the boy turns his nose up at it out of the bottle. He likes his milk from the source.
Home Again Home Again

Criminalizing Organic Farming

House and Senate bills to kill all organic farms (FAST track bills in 2 weeks)
Food Safety Modernization Act (HR 875): Criminalization of Organic Farms
Bills are:
House H.R. 875 http://www.govtrack.us/congress/ bill.xpd? bill=h111- 875
Senate S 425 http://www.govtrack.us/congress/ bill.xpd? bill=s111- 425
There is an enormous rush to get this into law within the next 2 weeks before people realize what is happening. Main backer and lobbyist is (guess who) Monsanto.
This Bill will require organic farms to use specific fertilizers and poisonous insect sprays dictated by the newly formed agency to “make sure there is no danger to the public food supply”.
If this passes then NO more heirloom clean seeds will be allowed, only Monsanto genetically altered seeds that are now causing unexpected diseases in humans. Here is a short video on the subject: http://www.voteronpaul.com/newsDetail.php?Food-Safety-Modernization-Act-HR-875-Criminalization-of-Organic-Farms-222
Lets get real folks! This has NOTHING to do with food safety. This is only about TOTAL CONTROL by the feds in our lives. So, get on that phone ASAP and burn up the wires. Get anyone else you can to do the same thing, by sending this message far and wide.
The House and Senate WILL pass this if they are not massively threatened with loss of their position…. . they only fear your voice and your vote.
LET THEM KNOW YOU OPPOSE THESE BILLS: HR 875 and S 425
