Self Care within the art of household abundance

Re-potting, dividing, cloning…. Allowing my lovely little friends here the space and attention they need to flourish. Most of these succulents have come from other cuttings, or divisions. The pots are thrifted.

I find the feeling of abundance and contentment looking at all of these newly created / differentiated beings almost overwhelming, and I love to mention to friends and family when I notice that their houseplants are ready to be divided.

Some will be gifts. Most will keep me company in the white white grey brown winter, when i need my bright, living, vibrant homies spread around my home the most.

Time in nature, time with nature, sunlight.

Mushroom Walking with Catskill Fungi

I was lucky enough to attend a recent mushroom walk with the lively and knowledgeable John Michelotti of Catskill Fungi. You can find him, his services and his products at Catskillfungi.com

Besides growing and foraging, crafting and selling his local medicinal products, John (pictured in the middle with the devilishly handsome grin) offers these walks at least once a month, with the goal of educating, sharing his knowledge, and introducing people to the basics of foraging and identification.

His upcoming walks are September 13th and October 11th, in High Mount and Big Indian respectively. You can also find his products at various local farmers markets.
