Spring At Last!





It's been raining almost every day the past couple weeks. Today it was finally sunny when I woke up, and warm enough for me to sit out on the porch for a while. Alas, I don't get to go out on a hike since I'm working all day, but it's such a nice break from the rain... I finished the Hempfest posters and shirt last week. The posters are up all over town (bottom design with the recycling symbol) and shirts are being printed this week on hemp shirts (top design, with parts of the poster graphics on the back of the shirt). I'm doing crafts like mad to get ready for Hempfest. My friend Hallie and I have been making stuff almost every night. I've got gemstone & hemp jewelry, duct tape wallets, candles, and a couple of dog collars made. I ordered tons of organic soap and massage oil supplies, but I don't know if they'll arrive in time for me to make everything for Saturday. Eek! I'll also have lots of PETA leaflets and stickers at the booth.

Seneca comes home tomorrow! I'm so excited to see him after 2 weeks! It has been way too quiet around here and Juneau sure misses his daddy. His dad and grandma have both been in the hospital recently, and he's visiting them. His dad is recovering from colon cancer and his grandma has emphysema... so not exactly a joyous family visit but it's good that he got to spend some time with them. Hopefully his dad feels better by this summer so he can do some backpacking with us.

So other than mad crafting to prepare for Hempfest and working on the Hempfest poster & shirt designs, I've been preparing for a huge yard sale we're planning and still looking for a VW camper van to convert to a greasecar, as well as keeping busy at work as usual. I'm also just dreaming of summer, and hoping to be able to do some traveling. There's lots of good concerts and festivals I wouldn't mind seeing (if only money grew on trees!) and I am definitely going to try to go to the Rainbow Gathering in Colorado. There's lots of backpacking to do as well, and it would be nice to visit a National Park or two since we didn't get to go to one last year. Along the way we'd like to visit a few places we're thinking about moving (Montana, Oregon, Colorado perhaps... who knows!) and just get out on the road for a bit, especially if there's a VW to travel in!

Ok enough day dreaming for now... time to get back to work! :)
