Friday, November 29, 2013. As I prepare for another trip with Liv Sansoz this winter, I look back on our first ‘practice trip’ this past spring.

I have been swinging back and forth on a pendulum of motivation because of it. I was sheet mulching. The other day around our apple and pear trees, thinking about permaculture.
