And...moving on.

I love the fall season. I like the colors, I love the weather, and I adore the fact that there are no bugs! Speaking of bugs, I have a whole infestation of little beetle critters in the Cottonwoods.
...just went to Google and I believe I have white margin burrower bugs...good times at my house. I have so many of these darn things I thought they were coffee grounds sprinkled along the side of the house and under the tree-till I noticed the whole pile was moving. I just walked away and swallowed the barf back down.
So other than that just working on the ole yard. Getting ready to pile and burn some leaves so I can get to the bottom of the infestation. I also have bulbs I was hoping to get into the ground before too long. Good times at my house.
My gigantic baby puppy needs a tack shed. he is too large for a dog house and I know he's uncomfortable sleeping on our covered porch and trying to lay underneath our steps because one end is always hanging out. I am going to see what I can make for him...maybe I should make him a little winter camp like this one.
This might actually be a perfect winter home for him since he is a little bit of a wimp but he's so large that he gets hot and I could haul his three sleeping bags in there so he could really snooze.
I will run the idea by their dad and see if he can make something for the pup. Poor guy, he's big enough to bring indoors and get him to sleep on a bed but I can't handle letting that big boy in and out once the snow hits...and he's gassy and I would have to bathe him...ewe.

Here we go, yo!

  Hey there! So I've been sleeping and eating and reading and somewhat writing ideas and hopes and dreams hoping to restart some creative processing for the next round of learning and dreaming. My children and I have eaten some amazing meals and prepared some traditional plants and ingredients that I would have never had the time or opportunity to know if we had not had to feed our spirits while in quarantine. We learned about the strength of our family and the effort it takes to become an intelligent person, as the world continues to move in a more productive path after quarantine, we have made changes to support our spiritual growth and make our path within ceremony to re-focus of our lives for the time being.  We have watched the sun set in Ute country and were amazed at the ingenuity and historical knowledge needed to thrive in their high arid environment. So much love and so many beautiful prayerful people have made such a good impression on my children, I will be grateful for

23 Day Challenge, Minute 2

 My second post for the #23MinuteChallenge, I think I would be the most grateful today for having some purpose in my life beyond being a mother. I have a pretty interesting job and I have been lucky enough to spend this most recent season of my life learning and gathering feedback for a community that means the most to me. I have been able to mature in my approach to issues and to learn to be more diplomatic in how I respond to issues. So with this post, my top ten things related to, or within my learning curve of higher education are as follows: Every Student Succeeds Act , 2015 Title IX Title VII Johnson O'Malley American Indian Higher Education Consortium Tribal Colleges & Universities P.L. 280  Tribal Law and Order Codes Fort Laramie Treaty, 1868 My mother, for supporting every strong willed goal and aspiration I wanted to reach but had to build the scaffold for. Unwavering love.

My 2020 Aspiration: Garth Brooks and Kelly Clarkson

One of the best days of my life in being able to support someone who has the capacity to help so many others. I had some amazing life lines I utilized and had the opportunity to support women showing up for other women in a way that we never have the time or opportunity to do as much as I would like to see...but for one day some beautiful and important relationships were made to help see someone through a transitional time in life that I still struggle with.  I am so grateful for the ability to find support and direction in what it is that I'm doing and what it is that I can do better not only for myself but for my family.
