A Small Dream Fulfilled

Yes, I have been wanting to do this for a few years – walk barefoot in the woods. So today was the day. The trek was only about two and a half minutes in total, but it was super wonderful for both my soul and the soles of my feet.

I apologize that this might be a bit dizzy-ing – I’m not experienced in posting videos.

Ganesh is a majestic three-branched oak tree on the trail whom I hug every time I see him. Drumbo, a hollow naked pine or cedar – I’m not sure which – gets the same treatment. Plus he makes a lovely drumming sound when I forcefully pound on his belly.

In the Red!

Chez moi, at Audities’ House of Cards, when I’m not taking photos, or designing greeting cards, I tend to dabble in experiments with fermented foods.

To date, I’ve mastered kombucha quite well, and drink it regularly. I’ve also successfully fermented beets, made beet kvass, and most recently, produced some delicious white cabbage sauerkraut. So now, I am on to a new venture: red cabbage sauerkraut.

For your enjoyment, I’ve documented the process from two days ago.
