As plans beginning coming together for the Butterfly Program this year, Talia, Wes, Linda and I spend time brainstorming.  You'll want to watch for the Butterfly Announcement coming soon!  In the meantime, enjoy Talia and Wes as they send our prayer to the Four Directions in love.  They wrote the song based on our morning practices.

We've had some big storms so far this season, and recently the ground became so saturated, that the Ancient Oak that we call the Portal Tree, just laid down over Rock Island.  There were many heavy branches that split from the tree that were hanging in precarious situations.  So I made a few inquiries and help arrived.  Tony (Mellissa Seaman's partner), his daughter Cheyenne, Michael, Joseph and Dailey came and took care of the tree, while Alexa and Nicholas came and helped Linda and I out with some mulch movement.  It all culminated in a joyful community building lunch, and promises to get together again soon!

Every time one of the "kids" (our early members) come for a visit, it means transition time.  For them and for us!  On this day, Maria was asked to have a photo shoot. 

We recently got to spend some private time with Mellissa Seaman and her friend Lyric.  We had a great time, and many growth spurts were started!

Love ya baby, the shimas.
