A Place to Become Yourself

How might your life have been different if there had been a place for you?
A place for you to go...a place of women, to help you learn the ways of women...
a place where you were nurtured from an ancient flow sustaining and steadying you as you sought to become yourself. A place of women to help you find and trust the ancient flow already there within yourself...
waiting to be released...A place of Women...How might your life be different?
-Judith Duerk, Circle of Stones

Black Walnuts and what to do with them!

Image
While picking apples at the Holmes we discovered Walnuts! I found quite a few resources on processing these gems! This resource and link from Arlene Wright-Correll explains a number of uses and how to process them. What I was looking for was how to make Walnut Ink. Here is another resource from an Artist on how he made the ink. I already knew I was going to make an Extract and had done that before...which I'll share in another blog post. Yes! Wear gloves. My pair had a little crack in one of the fingers and I had a stain for about a week. I cut all of the green hull off of the nut. This hull is what I used for the Ink and the Extract. I cut the hulls off since I am going to make an Extract as well and also plan on planting the nut. I would like to have my very own source on our property! The link is from the U of M and being a Master Gardener, I am always happy to share the excellent resources and information there.

Our Sister Site...Gaia's Wheel

Image
Wise Women's Journey will have a sister site "Gaia's Wheel" where we will come together and celebrate the Wheel of the Year. Within the next month we will start reaching out, and setting up a calendar of events to celebrate together. Francine and myself are in the planning stages...keep in touch and like-wise we will be doing the same with updates and ideas. Our email is: gaiaswheel@gmail.com FYI...Gaia's Wheel was a networking group that Francine and myself hosted in the Brainerd Lakes Area quite a few years ago during the 2000's. We ran pretty strong for about 5-6 years and held group potlucks to celebrate the Wheel of the Year, study groups, published a monthly newsletter and were a support for those who enjoyed sharing and learning in eclectic alternative philosphies. We'll be chatting with you soon! Blessings, Terri

Can't live without our Horseradish!

Image
As the harvest seasons comes to an end, one of the last projects we do here on the homestead before the snow flies, is to get the horseradish dug and processed. When I moved here to the homestead over 23 years ago, the horseradish has pretty much taken over the garden area. From years of tilling and only harvesting small amounts it had flourished and spread. I began moving the bits and pieces of root to the end of the garden in rows as we tilled each spring. Even though it is still in the garden, it is a small area and is managed by picking the root pieces out each spring after tilling. It only takes a small piece of root for the plant to take hold and grow. I love having my three long rows of transplanted plants at the end of the garden. It is easy to harvest and not scattered among the other vegetables like it had been growing before. Thankfully we still had the mini backhoe (from hubby's work that we've been using for other projects) here and my hubby dug up enough for two
