I loved joining you as you visited your allotment, and delighted in the dance of flax as I ate my ripe red strawberries and yoghurt sweetened with the sap of the maple tree. Life is good!

I loved finding out how flax grows and strolling into the garden with you! Just what I needed today, a slow moment to watch the flowers grow!

Thank you for sharing your wonderful practice and process with us. I just finished reading Braiding Sweetgrass yesterday. This post almost feels like a sequel to it.

Thank you so much Kavitha, that’s the sweetest thing anyone could ever say to me! Braiding Sweetgrass literally changed my way of thinking about the world and has had a major influence on my book Listen to the Wool.

Love the sound of it already, will keep an eye out. I am just getting started with spindle spinning and have exactly 1 skein to my credit. :)

I love the pictures of your "flax family" through the generations, I wish I could shake the elder's hands...:)

She’s a little shy, so I spun her together with 2015–2017☺️
