Well, I'm back home from my adventures and am now prepairing to move into a new residence in town. Hopefully it will be the little cottagy house with the big yard I've been pondering for a while. It opens up on monday so, so long as I get there early and whatnot I shuld be able to move into it soon. I miss houses, I'm in an appartement now and it's just not my style, I want a yard, maybe a tree ot two (did I mention that the place I'm looking at has trees?). Now I'm just slowly packing and waitng.
virginia was good. It was hot as fuck and there were millions of bugs but it was still good. I spent most of my time lounging around my brother's house and reading "Ariadne's thread" (Goddess book by Shekinna Mountainwater) and "By Oak Ash and Thorn" (Celtic shamanism by D.J. Conway). I'm still finishing oak and and thorn though. they're work books but I just read them - I think I'll try to go through ariadne's thread once I'm done with school. My brother's experimenting with straw bail building, which basically means you stack up straw bails in the deired shape and plaster a mud mixture over it to creat a sturdy wall. They're supposed to be pretty strong and weather resistant as well as quite insulating. He's building a little shed right now but people have made whole houses and furniture with it. When I saw some pictures of completed houses I loved them! You can make any shape you want and they can look like notmal houses or as funky as you want.

You could come up to Canada and play in the mud with us when we get the property!
