This isn’t a fancy kitchen make-over. I’m sure the end result is where most make-overs start. This is about making my kitchen a place where I enjoy to cook, ferment, can, and all the other things I’m learning. While the world outside wakes up, I finally get to tackle this project.

Spring has been slow to come, so I took my time to get ready. I planted seedlings, started building a greenhouse, and spent time in the forest and at the beach.

Even after years of learning and teaching about the environment, I still live a life far from the ideal. I'm slowly learning to live in balance, to say no to the societal pressure of more, more more.
