had a fun night last night in ash valley, out at grandma treetoad's place.  it was wonderful--we got to catch up with some old friends.  best of all, though, was just spending time in her yard.  the whole set-up is like the oregon country fair, full of earthy, hippie magic.  it was really neat.
 
fiona loooved the geese!
 
it all just reinforced my dreams/plans to live in a little space on the fringe of society with a lot of plants and animals, a la tasha tudor.
