Blueberries, conferences, buildings

Another hot day, but at least better than yesterday. And Zadek, Biddy and I went blueberrying then, so now I've got a tubful of yummmmmm. It's making us pretty happy. Big ol' cold bloobs. We had them for breakfast.

Biddy's a new member, and she can sing just about anything, and when she does, you want to listen. She's got an amazing voice. Wow, that's very exciting.

And what else? The Communities Conference is starting on Friday, so there'll be many many people at the conf site, and there'll be a whole bunch of women at the conf site... um... the weekend after, I think. For the Women's Gathering. I don't go to that Gathering much anymore. My family can't go, 'cause they're all boys, basically. Oh well. Then in October, there's a new gathering, of permaculture folks starting to build a strawbale shelter. I've been in strawbale shelters, but haven't watched them go up. It'll be interesting.

Years ago, I helped stuff leaves into walls, to make a wonderful house bigger and better. That was really fun, and a lot of work. Took a lot of chicken wire fencing, and some two-by-fours. The structure's still up and looking good!!

Okey dokey artichokeys, looks like I'm off to the races. Hope my pony wins. So far, I'm feeling pretty lucky.
much love,
Kelpie
