I do not know what drew this beautiful spirit to our farm but she came at just the right time. Huge blue eyes, wide open smile, cheerful, curious and hardworking. Always on the look out for ways to be helpful. We shared an interest in Weston Price, Nourishing Traditions and an allergy to wheat. I made her stinging nettle tea and gave her some goat milk body scrub She let me try her homemade coconut oil toothpaste which I will attempt to make soon. We watched a video about fermenting Moroccan lemons, enjoyed roasting veggies and making quinoa among many other things. Her first week it was just the two of us. She milked the goats, groomed the horses, gathered goat food, tended the garden chipped and chainsawed. I put a french braid in her long auburn hair. At our Health Club she gave the boys a run for their money playing in Pick up Basket ball games. The second week we were joined by Farid Pitussi, a Frenchman who has been in Australia a year.
She taught him about the horses, goats, chickens and other chores relating to watering garden, weeding and chipping. On her last day they painted the fence at Allen's office and she pointed her car, Mr. Magoo, North bearing lavender and rosemary bundles, headed for some fun with her friends on the way to more farms and eventually Alaska. We were happy to be a stop on her journey.
