THank you Ian. And thank you for being part of our class community, you bring a lot of joy to the group, or as Beth calls it, “our little band of edge dwellers”.

As a teenager I had the family piano in my bedroom (!) and I would get lost in playing music… often being brought crashing back to earth by a sibling banging on the door telling me it was dinner time! Now I get lost in my sheshack in the garden… painting, sketching, or just looking out at the lawn and growing veggies, listening to birdsong. These precious moments help me keep my head from exploding. Too much non-joy in the world crowds in and I need the escape of the rabbit hole to reset my inner compass to True North. Your classes are also my time to reset. Your little band of edge dwellers help make life bearable!

Yes, Billie, your gardens are beautiful and so creative. Thinking with the cold wether and having to harvest all the veggies…soups and stews?

But also I’m with your friend Midge…..my gardens have saved my soul in so many ways! We’ve had snow here.
I spent lots of energy protecting vegetable plants from getting wet or too cold. Unfortunately I will have to harvest almost everything tonight with the temperature drop and freezing rain but it’s been a good run
