Thankful in Floyd, VA
Every now and then I stumble into a place that I know no one, but get absorbed rather quickly. What I find in there is more community, more sharing, and more genuine human connections than I could hope for. Most places are not like this. Floyd, VA, however, is… Almost a year ago, a couple…

Austin to Boston – The Road, USA
Traveling far fast is not part of my modus operandi. The longer I stuck around Austin, the less time I knew I had to travel the 2,000+ miles to the Boston area for the International Herb Symposium. Ally, Edna (the tea bus), and I left Austin on May 16th, which gave us three and…

Back in the Big Bend – Terlingua, TX
Our trip out west on the train was extended by about 5 days, so we arrived back in Alpine, TX just as an abnormally bad ice storm was easing up. There were downed branches and trees everywhere, power was out many places, and ice still covered many areas. Upon inspection, Edna seemed okay from the…

Travels Through New Mexico
This is a place of so much beauty, good people, and amazing resources. Ally, Edna (the teabus) and I arrived via back highways to Albuquerque after accidentally running into some beautiful places like La Ventana Arch and Malpais National Monument (If you haven’t been – check them out!). It was the right time to visit…

OJAI! Would you like to go on an adVENTURA? – Ventura County, CA
Well yes, I would! Kidnapping my friend Ally, we left Nevada City bound for Ojai. Taking a couple days to get there, we stopped at junkyards to look for another injection pump for Edna along the way. Old highway 99 has all the junkyards coming down through Stockton, Modesto, Fresno, Bakersfield. Not knowing any better,…

Sustainability Fair/Farmers’ Market – Orcas Island, WA
Our first day on Orcas Island brought much joy. The Sustainability Fair alongside the Farmers’ Market brought out a lot of people. I hadn’t seen many of my Orcas friends for months or years, and even folks I knew from off island were sipping tea. Edna and I arrived on Orcas Island just the night…
