This made my day. I have long been a proponent for open-source software. Chalk one up for the resistance. And the org in question has been so predatory on creatives for so long. A sweet quid pro quo.

Not a fairy ring or edible fairy mushrooms. Amanita verna (destroying angel) mushrooms. Deadly poisonous. This is not a bad thing for the Covenstead. It's proof the healing work we've been doing w/ the Land is working. Also, love the idea of working w/ it for some repelling magic. *cackles*

I'm a sucker for blue flowers. Got these at our local farm tour today. And we learned so much and made connections that just may open up some new things for the #foodforest creation here #OnTheCovenstead I'm as giddy as a kid at Halloween. #bloomscrolling #gardenstar

It was 44 degrees F when I awoke. Had to put the hoodie and skullcap on for barn chores. Muted gray sunrise & the foothills missing, again. I snapped this shot yesterday when for a brief moment it was like we got a graphics card update. Now we're back to low-contrast grayscale. #OnTheCovenstead

It won't win any Better Homes & Gardens cover shot, but the Witch's garden aka the tea garden keeps us in tea and herbs all year. It also helps give food to our flock & wildlife from the summer apple tree. It also hosts a bird bath, garden flag, and a small offering stump. #OnTheCovenstead

In summer, an errant fly in the house is not unusual. But #MsSnickleFritz has ears that hear more than we do. She's terrified of flies. Hunting them becomes a top priority FOR THE WHOLE HOUSE. She makes sure of it. Get the Fly, Mom! Now! #WitchsFamiliar #OnTheCovenstead

We often use recycled materials to distribute harvests for donation. This weekend we transported what equates to about $105 worth of fresh picked greens in a bulk box (thanks Costco) that once transported now recalled food. Feeling good about giving my community organic, safe food. #OnTheCovenstead
