Last year we tried it and had to turn back. I was so disappointed. We just weren’t prepared. It’s not like it is the highest peak in Colorado, or anything. I have climbed the highest mountain in Colorado, but I was sixteen. Fremont Peak is just west of Cañon City and is the forehead of…

Everything in its Season
I long to get this show on the road. To get this new farm set up! Get the rototiller! Get the goats! Get the fencing done! Let’s get planting! But, alas, it is October 2nd. I can plant hopeful bulbs of dancing tulips and sunshine yellow daffodils that will surprise me with delight come spring….
Saving Money with Free Activities
Maybe you would like a cheese press, or a new hoe. Maybe a few goats or maybe you realize that every hour of your life is valuable and perhaps you would like a few of them to not be working a job, but rather enjoying your homestead. In everything, we save money so we can…
A Daily Meditation
A daily meditation is a lovely way to begin or end a day. A time to reflect, think, dream, pray, be. An idea floated upon me yesterday. An idea to listen and record a daily message from nature. We all know that we go too fast in this society. We have isolated ourselves from…
Summer List and Sunshine
Summer is quickly becoming one of my favorite seasons. Sometimes in Colorado it seems like we have seven and a half months of winter a few weeks of spring, a few months of summer, a few weeks of autumn, then right back to winter. Yesterday felt so good at seventy four degrees. Summer does have a…
A Spring Herb Walk with Sacred Owl School of Original Medicine
Sunday was bright and just the right amount of warm. We were like school girls tripping down the trail stopping every few minutes to look at new growth, smelling and tasting plants, and looking for snakes. Laughter and stories fell around the group as we made our way down the meandering and winding path. One…
Curry Chickpea Sandwiches on the Hiking Trail
This idea was in not one, but two of my favorite magazines last month. Though I do not particularly care for the squeaky dryness of garbanzo beans out of a can, the idea looked great to me. Fiber, vegetables, protein, vegetarian, and something new? So, I took the idea and ran with it. I ended…
Setting Yourself Free (Part 5- Letting Go and Dreaming New)
I have written many times about how to manifest your dreams. Write them down, set a goal list, talk about them, and watch them turn into reality! It is a science. It works. What I haven’t written about is what happens when that dream comes true then gets taken away? How do you restart? How…
A Field Trip to the Paint Mines
We walked along the dusty paths, the only sound from our shuffling feet. Cottontail rabbits with their winter fur occasionally crossing our path. Hawks swooped overhead. A beautiful silence and solace lay across the land. Not another soul out hiking today. Just the two of us. The valleys used to be filled with Buffalo and…
