<b><span style="color: #365f91; font-family: "Old English Text MT"; font-size: 28.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: accent1; mso-themeshade: 191;">Adair and the Fairy of

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: #1d1b11; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: background2; mso-themeshade: 26;">Adair Sherwood was a lonely lad of twelve years. He was an
orphan but had recently been adopted by the Orin family. Sadly, the Orins were
not kind people. They had only adopted Adair because they needed a work boy.
Every morning at the break of dawn, Adair was awakened by Mrs. Orin. After
being fed a small slice of bread with a thin layer of goat cheese, Adair was
sent out for the day to do his work. First he fed, watered, and milked the
cows, sheep, and goats. Then he fed the chickens and gathered their eggs. After
this, Adair collected water from the well and spent the rest of the day
harvesting vegetables and hay from the fields. </span><b><span style="color: #365f91; font-family: "Old English Text MT"; font-size: 28.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: accent1; mso-themeshade: 191;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: #1d1b11; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: background2; mso-themeshade: 26;">When Adair finished his work, he headed home ate a baked
potato and immediately fell asleep. Little did he know that right outside his
window a fairy was hiding. It was called the fairy of Scotland. It danced in
the moonlight for hours. Once it had finished its dancing, it snuck into house and
nabbed small morsels of food. After this, the fairy crept back to its home in
the forest and quickly fell asleep. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: #1d1b11; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: background2; mso-themeshade: 26;">The next morning, Adair was awakened by cold water splashing
over his face. Mrs. Orin stood looming over him a bucket of cold water held in
one hand. Adair groaned, rolled out of bed, and got dressed. After Adair had
his light breakfast of bread and goat cheese, he headed outdoors. Adair did his
usual job of watering, milking, and feeding the cows, sheep, and goats,
collecting eggs and water, and harvesting from the fields.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: #1d1b11; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: background2; mso-themeshade: 26;">That day Adair finished work early and decided to explore
the forest. As Adair walked into the forest he felt the presence of someone or
something. It made him feel strangely uncomfortable. He looked around but saw
no one. He started to leave the forest but was stopped by a small tinkling
voice saying “Hello.” Adair whirled but saw nothing. He decided his mind was
probably just playing tricks on him. He began to walk but again was stopped by
the small tinkling voice.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: #1d1b11; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: background2; mso-themeshade: 26;">This time Adair looked up. Hovering above him was a small
creature with wings. But it wasn’t an insect, for it had the face and body of a
human. Adair thought he recognized the creature from a story book. Adair realized that the book had referred to
the creature as the Fairy of Scotland. “Are you the fairy of Scotland?” Adair
asked. The creature grinned. “That I am, young lad.” The fairy replied. “But I
thought you were just a made up fantasy!” Adair said, shocked that he had
actually met the fairy of Scotland. The fairy frowned “A made up fantasy!?” The
fairy said, its frown growing bigger and bigger with each second that passed.
Adair nodded. “That’s what I have been told.” The fairy’s face curved into a
sad smile. “Well, I suppose people don’t want to look like fools believing in
us, even though they know in their hearts that we are real.” It said. Adair
nodded, feeling a bit bad for the fairy. “Well I believe in you!” he said,
grinning at the fairy. This seemed to lighten the wee creature’s heart. It
smiled happily. “Thank you!” the fairy said. Adair beamed back. “And if you’d
like I’ll visit you every single day!” Adair said. “Oh yes!” the fairy replied,
doing a dance of joy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #1d1b11; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: background2; mso-themeshade: 26;"> From that day on, Adair was never lonely,
and the fairy was more than overjoyed to have a friend.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Just taking this moment to offer gratitude to my sweet family. All of you, near and far. How fortunate I am to have you touch my life and inspire me deeply. I am having a gypsy life in my own home, so much transition as we work to pack this house and sell it, and anticipate our move into another. As I take boxes into the garage, and unpeel the layer of stuff that we live with, I realize how little of it is really necessary. What is necessary is in abundance all around and within me.<br />

After several years of travelling to local artists' homes and taking images of their bedrooms, the show has finally arrived! Sleeping with Van Gogh is a sister project to the bigger project entitled Waking With Van Gogh, which was curated by Moni Hill. Moni approached me with the photography concept and I accepted the challenge. It was a wonderful way to delve into my photography and meet some wonderful artists as well. Here are some photos from the opening at the <a href="http://www.hickorymuseumofart.org/home.php" target="_blank">Hickory Museum of Art</a> in April. The show will be up until late July, I have around 22 photos on display and there are close to 70 artists in the larger show.<br />

Vivi took a big step and played a song that she composed, called Blue Moon Jig, in a public performance. <a href="http://thehopicecreamcafe.com/" target="_blank">The Hop</a> is an awesome supporter of local talent and host many wonderful events. Did I mention that they have amazing homemade ice cream? My current favorite is their salted caramel, but they have more exotic flavors too.<br />

Vivi jamming with the Sounding Post String Breakers. David and I got to go out and see Vivi's fiddle instructor Natalya Weinstein play her second album debut show, and I was really blown away! The band's name is <a href="http://www.redjunemusic.com/RedJune/Home.html" target="_blank">Red June</a> and the new album is called <a href="http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/redjune2" target="_blank">Beauty Will Come</a>. She in touring for the summer and they sound really great. Check it out.<br />

And Mia performed in Sleeping Beauty. It was really terrific. She took ballet for the first time this year and loved her class. The <a href="http://www.acdt.org/ACDT_Home/Home.html" target="_blank">ACDT</a> is most inspiring in their artistic performances. Bravo!<br />

Vivi also had a brilliant class play of the Theft of Thor's Hammer with Ms. Laura's 3/4 grade class. It was hilarious and such fun. This is has really been a busy season, in addition to these shows, Mia had a poetry reading at the <a href="http://www.wolfememorial.com/index.html" target="_blank">ThomasWolf House </a> with her awesome creative writing class taught byJanet Hurley and a spring concert with the Asheville Symphony Children's Orchestra.

What an honor and a gift it was for me to be the first handwork teacher at Azalea Mountain School! And what a sweet and blessed year we had! Here are the last of the little knit chickens and mice that the first and second grade children made. It was a beautiful and bittersweet day to teach on the last day of school, knowing that I will not be returning in the Fall. It has been a difficult decision to make but I firmly feel that my family life is demanding that I have more time and energy for home right now. My children will be young for such a short and precious time. I will miss the children at school though, and the very wonderful faculty and staff that made it such a joy to work there.</div>

This is one of Mia's clay projects that she made with a wonderful teacher named Mellie. She made this totem with each bird representing a member of our family.<br />

This was a fun project that my handwork students made for the Eurythmy teacher's new baby girl who was just born. Children in grade 1-4 knitted the squares from plant dyed wool. The rainbow balls and mice were made in the 1/2 grade class.<br />

Ponies and Chocolate, that is what some girls dream of! Vivi is very much like me in this way. She has started horseback riding this summer and loves it. It has renewed my love for horses too and I hope to ride on occasion as well. I think this is Ziggy she is riding, isn't he pretty?</div>

And here is Vivi's cake which she made all herself and thankfully shared with us. When she gets a bee in her bonnet about baking something, it will happen! I helped her to find the most delicious recipe and wow, it was good. Don't you love her pretty strawberries on top?

Oh, so very sweet. Jasper's last day of Little Round Schoolhouse. This has been his second place to call home for the last two years and it has been so wonderful and nurturing for my boy. What a dear group of friends and the most wonderful Kindy teachers you can imagine. Really, really amazing. We will miss it but now we are home schooling grade one with Jasper. He has been so excited to have his turn with school at home and I am so thrilled to share this with him! I have been busy planning and will soon be preparing a very special classroom space.<br />

<br />
First day in Paris. We had a red eye flight over the Atlantic. Arrived at <a href="http://www.aeroportsdeparis.fr/ADP/en-gb/passagers/home/" target="_blank">Charles-deGaulle airport</a> and took a <a href="http://parisbytrain.com/paris-rer/" target="_blank">RER</a> to the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Marais" target="_blank">Marais</a> area of Paris. It was a long journey for us. We walked probably a mile past our destination, in an awestruck and jet lagged stupor! After we found our apartment and met the lovely couple who hosted us, through <a href="http://www.bed-and-breakfast-in-paris.com/Dicillin.php?" target="_blank">Alcove and Agapes</a>, a private bed-and-breakfast agency. We were tired to the core, but I managed enough french to say hello and get settled. We headed out for a walk and found our way to the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notre_Dame_de_Paris" target="_blank">Notre Dame</a>. What a spectacular city! After 22 years since seeing Paris, it was really something to refresh my recollections of it.<br />

<span style="text-align: center;">Back to our neighborhood and we found dinner at an Italian deli around the corner. (Yes, it was Italian, but nonetheless, very authentic and delicious!) It was nice to have a little private balcony off our fifth floor room. We ate a lot of meals there!</span></div>

It is really something with the temperatures nearing the eighties. Flowers are blooming, bees are buzzing. How spring has sneaked up on me! We didn't get much of a winter this year, which is why I am so surprised by the shift. Vivi made me this sweet little posy a week or so ago. And today the kids spend the afternoon picking violets so they can make candied violets. After that, they played in the mud and were covered from head to toe! My tulips and daffodils are blooming and bringing such good cheer. I love the signs of spring.<br />

She had a really fun time designing it. The roof even hinges open to get into the room and the walls are wallpapered. I love her joy in creating something from the recycling bin.<br />
I also must share this link to my boy's music making fun. He loves to play instruments and especially to drum. You can see the music maker <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSwSEF5n-8Y" target="_blank">here</a>. Other music videos to come, the kids all like to perform their songs for an audience.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I also must share these beautiful photos taken by my friend, Ines! There is a tame deer in her neighborhood that was orphaned, some folks decide to feed him and look after him. He is a real character and very sweet but unfortunately will continue to grow bigger and bolder around people. He is getting his antler buds and is fond of eating garden flowers. I hope that they find a home for this guy where he can return to the wild. My children love to visit this beautiful place in the woods which they call Fairyland. It is a magical place to be. Thank you, Ines for letting me share your lovely images!</div><br />

Mia turned twelve last month! I am so amazed by my lovely daughter. This year, she had a different kind of birthday. Mia had a few good friends come along for a bike ride at the Biltmore Estate.. It was a beautiful day for February. We rode from the farm to the pond, where the girls enjoyed watching the ducks and geese. Then we returned home for cake and present opening. It was a simple and beautiful celebration. Our festivities will continue when Mia and I take a two week "twelve-year-old" trip to France at the end of April. More details to come!<br />

It has been such a benefit to me in my teaching at <a href="http://azaleamountain.org/" target="_blank">Azalea Mountain School</a> and I have enjoyed my work so much. I thought I would share some of the project samples for my classes, though there are so many more wonderful ideas. I am amazed and delighted to see how well the children love to knit and crochet, and how much joy it brings to them. And most all of the materials for my classes have been plant dyed by me!<br />

She has also loved the cultures of the East, so it was a natural that she would want a Panda party. It was pretty fun to prepare for and so sweet to celebrate my girl with such a nice group of friends.<br />

I have had a much needed holiday from blogging, reducing my online time to a minimum. I have missed it but with work and homeschool and everything else, I cannot find the time. This photo is from our trip to Santa Barbara over Thanksgiving holiday. It was a lovely time and I hope to share more photos at some point! Sending warmest holiday wishes to all our family and friends out there!

How I love my handwork classes! The children are so eager and joyful in their work. Here is the first and second grade basket. Sometimes I hear the children whispering their verse as they knit. Many children make up their own verses as well!<br />

</div>And here is my third and fourth graders' basket. They are making the beautiful sewing books from Linda's pattern at <a href="http://rhythmofthehome.com/2011/08/autumn-sewing-needle-book-seasonal-craft/">Rhythms of the Home</a>. I wanted to begin with knitting this year, since some students have not learned it before. Being a first year, combined grade school I have adjusted the handwork curriculum to meet the needs of the class.<br />
<br />
Life has been so very busy and I have set down my camera for a time. It feels good to rest this interest as I know that it enlivens my ability to experience what is in front of me and see more clearly. The SE Womens' Herbal Conference was delightful, especially with my dear friend, Lindsley who came from CA to attend. Mia joined the young women's circle with her beloved teacher and mentor, Lena. One highlight was standing one evening at Lake Eden, stars and moon shining overhead, bonfire bright and women drumming and singing prayer to Mother Earth and seeing a glorious shooting star as it soars overhead. It was breathtaking. Another highlight was learning from the plants with herbalist and wise woman <a href="http://www.herbhaven.com/">Suki Roth</a>, the teacher who is the main reason that I attend SEWHC year after year. I hope some day to spend more time learning from her, she is extraordinary.<br />

</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Oh, how quickly autumn has arrived! It has been a while since I have found the time to post photos. Here are a few from the first days of school. The children love the tradition of the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #f9f9f9; font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schult%C3%BCte">Schultüte</a>.</span>This was inspired by my mom's memories of entering first grade in Germany, before her family emigrated. We don't reserve the tradition for the first day of first grade, but rather a special treat for the start of each year. It is nice to have a tradition that brings the kids so much joy at the start of a new year. </div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://azaleamountain.org/">Azalea Mountain</a> is such a beautiful school community. The children share in verses and song every day, and the nature immersion day at Sacred Mountain Sanctuary is really special. I am loving my dear handwork students! It has been a joy! Tomorrow we celebrate Michaelmas and the <a href="http://goldensunfamily.blogspot.com/2010/09/autumn-equinox-and-michaelmas.html">felted dragon</a> from last year makes his appearance in yet another puppet play. This year is the tale of the apple pie dragon told by Ms. Kate. Jasper made a gorgeous golden sword at school with Mr. Scott and Ms. Becca, as well as a golden cape, dyed with goldenrod at his sweet Kindergarten, <a href="http://www.littleroundschoolhouse.com/">Little Round Schoolhouse</a>. All the children have been singing beautiful Michaelmas songs taught by Ms. Allen, the lovely music teacher at Azalea Mountain. Mia and I are currently studying history of ancient Greece and will soon move into a Geometry block.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div>This summer is zipping by. We have one last trip to Oregon, leaving tomorrow on a 5am flight! Now is my chance to share some bits and pieces of what we have been doing around here. Peaches have been a major theme in the past week. It all began with an almond peach cobbler that Mia made from one of my favorite cookbooks, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/San-Francisco-Flavors-Favorite-Recipes/dp/0811823423">San Francisco Flavors.</a> She baked it for the <a href="http://azaleamountain.org/">Azalea Mountain</a> potluck and got tons of complements on it. Yum, it was delicious. Next came Vivienne's peach tart from my other favorite cookbook, Clotilde's <a href="http://chocolateandzucchini.com/">Chocolate and Zucchini.</a> And this was divine! So very yummy and we got to share it with Grammy and Granddaddy when they visited. Then there was the peach ice cream, that I got inspired to make for the annual Rennicks' ice cream social. I made a peach ginger (winning the award of most sensuous flavor) and a peach thyme, both recipes are from <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Ice-Cream-Book-Granitas/dp/0688161499">The Ultimate Ice Cream book</a>. Very interesting flavors. I really liked the thyme.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Jasper was having a blast learning how to wind a skein on my new Amish swift. He was quite a help, as I started to wind skeins from four pounds of wool. Thankfully, the other seven pounds were already in skeins. Which leads to the next images, the start of my plant dye adventures. I was so impressed by the process at my handwork training that I committed myself to making plant dyed wool for the children of Azalea Mountain. (Did I mention that I will be teaching handwork this year?)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

The red powder is cochineal. Apparently, it is very rare these days and is valued at the price of gold. I felt lucky to find a natural dye kit that still carries it. Below is the Madder root (right) and alkanet (left). I also used henna, coreopsis from my garden, logwood, cutch, and indigo.<br />

Vivienne with her joyful harvest. We sometimes bake with plantain seeds. Which brings us to the next theme. When Grandpa came to visit last year, the kids got into picking the grapes and Grandpa showed them how to mash and boil them to make grape juice. This year, they took up the project on their own and made delicious grape juice to sell at a stand in the front yard. <br />

It has been my quest this summer to renew my own education and continue to support my growth and development as a mother, teacher, artist and striving human. I am so excited about the online course that Dr. Rick Tan is offering, called Five Spheres of Waldorf Education. For me, it will be a wonderful extension to the coursework at Rudolf Steiner College. Setting aside time to deepen my understanding and engage myself in this work feels right. I have been a long time reader of <a href="http://thewaldorfway.blogspot.com/">the waldorf way</a> and the Tan family's blog, <a href="http://syrendell.blogspot.com/">Syrendell</a>. I am continually inspired by the wealth of creativity and information that they share. If you are interested in finding out more, here are some details below! <br />
