I just wanted to say thanks, belatedly, for all the wonderful birthday wishes and congratulations about my graduation from RavenCroft! It's wonderful to be extending my community through this website to include all of you. I'm very excited about all that's happenning with our site now that HerbMentor is up and running. I think my 40's are going to be great!
Blessings,
Kimberly
Hi!
This is John, Kimberly's husband.
On Saturday, Nov. 10, she turns 40. Will you join me in wishing her a Happy Birthday?
Simply write a comment to this entry below. She will be emailed every comment. So, in a way, it is a virtual birthday party (without the refreshments).
By the way, no need to put in your email address. It asks you for it even though you do not need it.
THANKS! –John
This morning we visited the most amazing botanical garden called Limahuli.
From introduced species such as banana and mango to a large variety of native species, these gardens are lush and full of spirit.
The valley here once gave its original people everything they needed. Today, you can see 700 year old taro gardens in terraces on the hillside. Taro was a staple food crop that poi us made from.
Ironically, the director there showed up to a traditional hula group we visited tonight. He was forging a bond between the garden and this tradition group... Knowing of the importance of the plants to their culture.
Kauai is an amazing place. Seeing the role plants play in the lives of people and how connected people still are here to the spirit of the plants and this place is inspiring. It is having a profound impact on my own relationship with herbs.
We even have cows outside our window here for milk to complete the coffee... But here is some sugar cane for it...:) (see last post for coffee photo)
Since I mentioned faem animals..there are chickens everywhere! ...even in the Costco parking lot. With all these chickens running around and fruit, folks here should never starve. :)
