Obviously, we have been busy. Pete has attended music/artisan shows and events. In fact, he will be at the Frostburg State University Appalachian Festival next weekend playing music with friends as well as displaying some of his hand-carved treenware pieces that will be available for sale.
Leenie was excited to welcome her first ever herbal assistant here for a month this summer...and what a month that was! It revealed how important getting appropriate help is to the functioning and growth of a fledgling business. We will be looking for ways to integrate this key resource into our lives in the coming years. Otherwise, the summer was spent offering herb classes, wild herb walks, and making products for local markets and shops.
In the midst of all these undertakings, we managed to fit in a family camping trip that was wonderfully refreshing, some dance camps for our teen daughter, and continuing education for Pete and I in a variety of forms (sometimes as students and sometimes as teachers). It is very interesting to be transitioning to a stage of life wherein it is time for us to share what we have learned and inspire a whole new generation to carry on the craft of creativity in one form or another. How did all of this happen so fast? Life is a breathtaking adventure.
