Midst the smoke and angst of fiery forests….. an amazing assortment of colorful blossoms and hopeful thoughts……

Take a look at them, then send me your votes! There’s absolutely no possibility of fraud in this election….. the rules are few and far between. There are a number of categories…. but if you can think of a different one to award, great! Let’s figure it out! Each person in your family may vote…. kind of like the census. We all count! Just be sure to let me know who is voting for which.
What a time, to say the least. First fires were to the east and west of us…… Now they’re to the north and south. However much smoke, we’re filled with gratitude that the fires have not come down the mountain from the top of San Hedrin…… So far, so good.

Kashaya and I will begin to jam next week, when it cools off. We barely got the elderberries from above Covelo…. just a day before the place was engulfed with flames. Plenty of blueberries, though…. thinking we might have to make some syrup!
Mail Order will be available for the holidays….. we’ll keep you apprised. Thanks to all who have ordered so far!
And as for next season, stay tuned. Something will manifest…… and it will be grand.
I do hope you’re well and coping. Here’s to keeping it all together…….
