the 'hippies cook with herbs' party

As a change from our 'I'm not a dirty hippie' monthly parties, my friend Cortney offered to do a cooking demo with fresh herbs and lots of fresh garden produce. It was so very good, and very fun.

OK, I love this. Cortney brought her own Compost container.  This is the mark of a kindred spirit!  I love how she wrote 'compost' on both sides--to prevent children (and adults I suppose!) from snacking out of it. 
Also, the next evening I had my bookclub meeting and we met at my new friend Linda's, who only lives a few blocks from me (so nice to be able to walk to friend's houses).  I was amazed by Linda's house and yard--which in 2 years she's changed into a beautiful, beautiful garden.  And then...in her house as you go through the kitchen into the dining room, there is a small room that you walk through.  It could be used as a little office or similar, it's a small cozy space, and Linda has made it her yoga room.  And as if THAT'S not enough, she has written quotes all over the walls in silver paint pen.  Hey!  I said, Me too!  She is another kindred spirit.  I love it.

snow, playsilks & 'I'm not a dirty hippie' party

Rob took these shots on his way home from work yesterday--we had a beautiful snow and it was so heavy and wet that it stuck to everything like crazy.

We dyed these lovely playsilks with my friend Joni and her children yesterday.  They did yellow, red and orange and they all turned out beautifully.  Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures of the process. 

Below--I had an awesome 'I'm not a dirty hippie' party tonight with 10 other women.  It was so fun.  Really, really fun.  Fun to share food,  talk and laugh, and make something earthy and useful.  Recipe from here.  Every single one of the women I have things in common with--different things perhaps--but I love that we all share some common ground.  Tonight what brought us together was homemade deodorant.  And laundry soap.
this jar (by Casey) says 'Krista's Hippy Pits Mix'.  Ha!
Oh yeah...Vermont Woodchuck and a seed catalog that will not sell genetically engineered seeds--sweet!
