Top 10 Things to do with Squash (Besides the obvious)
We have squash. Lots of squash. We could eat squash once a week for a year and still have squash left over... So, I'm brainstorming what else I could do with it! - Stack it up into orange snowmen...um. squashmen.
- Line them all up on a friend's lawn, and every day, move it a little closer to the front door.
- Have a squash wrestling party.
- Make erotic art with it (I've actually done this... :)
- Use them to hold up VOTE YES ON REF 71 signs.
- Bowling in the corn patch (I think we did this too)
- Archery target practice
- Make it into decorative mushrooms (check out the cover of Martha Steward Living for October - gak!) (and then #7 :)
- Weather report! Is the squash wet? It's raining. Can't see it? It's night :)
- Squish it!

Baby greens, in to steam, yum yum, happy we!
I thinned in the garden today daikon radish, turnips, beets both red and gold, and honest-to-goodness full-grown mustard greens. Our first pickings from the garden this year (if you ignore the 2 strawberries I ate while and mlerules weren't watching) :). The CopperMoon Garden of Love from our handfasting is just bursting with stuff. It probably should be thinned but I just can't bring myself to yet. I recognize beans and lettuce and peas (though I don't know if they're sweet peas or edible...). It's fun watching it grow and trying to guess what the plants are.

Adopt-an-O
Many of you have participated in the journey towards creating the O book... and you've heard I have finished interior formatting and cover design and am ready to self-publish!. I'd love your help in self-publishing through a local printer using environmentally-responsible printing practices. This is your chance to help everyone be multiorgasmic, without violating your marriage vows or other relationship agreements! Pre-order copies of The Os of the Wild Woosi! If you've never heard ofThe Os of the Wild Woosi, I'll be posting a preview soon...

Multi-national planting
Planted Korean Stone Pines with llama beans and northwest mushroom leavings (from G-spot's mushroom hunting). It was a multi-national affair :) Ace says the mushrooms like pines and will form a symbiotic relationship with the pine tree, benefiting both tree and fungi. I hope it makes up for the fact that the trees were long overdue for transplanting. Korean stone pines are the trees that produce pine nuts...patience is.... Also finally tie-dyed my white 'O' shirt in watery colors. It's beautiful, and the writing resisted the dye, so it turned out exactly as I wanted :0) The rest of my weekend has been full of printing out invitations for my parent's 50th Anniversary, e-mailing servas hosts to try to get free accommodations in London and Paris, and reviewing my will. Tomorrow I get to work on costumes for FaerieWorlds... Current Mood:  Anticipatory | | Monday, May 18th, 2009 | | 12:05 pm |
Beauvoir in Paris
...
Together, they [Beauvoir and her boyfriend, Sartre] set out
to create a new, existential way of living.
God, they argued, does not exist, nor does
human nature. Each person must make his
or her own destiny. In order to have love, one
must choose love. For that, one must be free.
Both rejected the concept of marriage, opting
instead for a mutual pact. Living apart, they
would carry on an open relationship of “primary”
love. Both were free to take “secondary”
loves as long as each was entirely honest with the
other. Such a relationship, Beauvoir insisted, had
“all the advantages of a shared life without any
of its inconveniences.” In 1947, Beauvoir took up the question of
what it means to be a woman. She called her
new work “The Second Sex.” Sheila Malovany-
Chevallier, who with Constance Borde is doing
a new English translation of the book, due in
the fall of 2009, says that writing “The Second
Sex” made Beauvoir a feminist. Her painstaking
research into physiology, psychoanalysis, history
and Marxist theory convinced her that “one is
not born, but rather becomes, a woman.” Man is
the One, she argued; woman is the Other, forced
by society into a femininity that makes her the
object and prey of men. Lack of freedom is the
ultimate evil for women, but without education,
health care and financial independence, freedom
is useless.
Such feminist ideas, radical when “The Second
Sex” was published in 1949, brought cries
of outrage. The Vatican blacklisted the book.
Beauvoir was vilified in the press and taunted in
the streets. She was accused, she later wrote, of
being “unsatisfied, frigid, priapic, nymphomaniac,
lesbian, a hundred times aborted … even
an unwed mother.” At the same time, thousands
of women embraced the life-changing freedom
they found in her work, declaring the book to
be their “salvation.”

Gay Parents in Finland
My daughter said Finland, that already allows gay marriage and already allows a gay parent to adopt a child, just changed their laws so that both gay parents could legally adopt a child together (before they had no provision for a child to be adopted by two moms or two dads)... Now, we're a little behind... Current Mood: bouncy | | Monday, May 4th, 2009 | | 12:14 pm |

My Shadow

Daffodils Out Standing in the Llama Field
I noticed bright yellow flowers in the middle of our center llama field today and went to investigate. They're daffodils. Growing in the middle of our llama field. I'm fairly certain they weren't there last year. Any of our llama sitters know anything about this? Current Mood: bouncy | | Saturday, April 18th, 2009 | | 5:34 pm |
The L Herd, Episode 13, "Spring Shearing and More Fun with Llamas"
What is that quote? "An old friend will help you move. A good friend will help you move a dead body."
Anyways, siouxiequeue is in the real friend club, after helping us bury Heliconninae today. Sad business but it's done and she's now part of the circle of life at CopperMoon.
We also got Aurora and Wasabi sheared and dusted and vaccinated and toenails clipped, and gave their babies their first run at it too, so the moms can now go to their new home in Snohomish and the babies got their shots too so they're protected :)
And it was a glorious day spent with glorious people. I love you siouxiequeue and !
Oh, and the swallows are back :) Current Mood: dirty but happyCurrent Music: That's what a mama llama does... | | 5:10 pm |

Unhappy llama news
I had to put one of my llamas down today. We're not sure how, but she'd broken her femur. Fixing it meant major surgery, which would have cost in the thousands, and at her age (16) she may not have recovered. I know it was the right decision, but it's still hard. So all hail to Heliconninae. May she join the llama nessies swimming in Woods Lake. Current Mood:  okay |
