This house is real.  Edith Macefield lived here for most of her life and refused a million dollars from developers to move.  So they built around her.  It is for sale and I’m trying to purchase it and create “Edith’s UPothecary & Tea House.”

Because we could all use some uplifting now and then, right?  <3

I don't even know where to start. In about 2010? I learned the story of Edith Macefield and her house. I thought it was charming and wonderful that this geriatric woman had stuck to her guns just as Carl had in the movie Up.  My friend MeliMagic and I, down in Portland on a cold, rainy, December...

Dandelions often get labeled as a weed no one wants in the garden or yard, (but) did you know that you can make tea with the roots?  Steam and eat the greens or raw as a salad?  Use the flowers to make dandelion wine?  Dandelion is a known liver tonic--cleansing and fortifying!  An unsprayed dandelion medley is the perfect welcome to Spring.  The picture on the right is how the honeybee sees the dandelion through her eyes.   >'='<  7 days to deadline!  Let's do this!
