A few things to know about this blog:
I am a Navajo woman who was raised on the Rez in Arizona who left home to travel the world, only to end up in middle-America wanting to learn how to live exactly the way my people have been living for hundreds of years, 20/20. Better late then never, et al, and this blog will be the keeper of all my failures and successes this summer.
I live with my boyfriend and two cats, Fatty & Fuzz, in the greatest city in the country, Chicago! This is my first summer growing vegetables and learning how to keep a bee hive. My boyfriend, B, will be showing me how to keep a garden, a farm and a beehive. We will be growing some food in our 2nd floor apartment in containers and the rest on a small plot of land 45 minutes outside of the city. On my own I will be learning how to grow and use medicinal herbs from making simple teas and tinctures to poultice rubs.
The Regulars:
“B” – The organic farming, yoga teaching, bee hive master, friend, teacher, collaborator and partner in all crimes, unless caught. He did it.
The “Nerds” – a.k.a Internet/Interweb/World Wide Web
Tattays – Our fat cats who amuse us daily.
Fatty – Grey, Black & White Cat who is the one that causes the most ruckus! Loves: Wu-Tang, cheese, seaweed, plastic bags & sitting at the kitchen table.
Fuzz – Black Tom Cat that is the sweetest lover in the world, but can take down Fatty in a heartbeat if he gets out of hand. Loves: Os Mutantes, gentle rub downs, bonito flakes & Vitamin E oil.
