It's orange-yellow-red chards of naturally occurring mineral are more remarkable than this picture can express. Mostly composed of lead ore it's found rarely in Arizona. I could imagine that it may exist in Silverton CO with as many minerals mined in the area. I acquired a lot of new minerals in Tucson including ocean jasper, meteorites from 3 different countries, azurite, a large amethyst, wulfenite &amp; some crazy quartz pieces-the list goes on.

I have a connection with the power of plants and for long as I remember respected what nourishment living things bring our souls and bodies. This is why I am so fortunate to have the experience of studying for six weeks with a dear friend and herbalist. Our first session (on the day it never stopped snowing) we began to learn about tea making and harvesting plants for medicinal use. We will continue with salve making, tinctures and extractions as we progress.  This is remarkable!</div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5726254081899593351-5462526739540422331?l=catalyst7.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Megan Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04020657169557350325noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5726254081899593351.post-43071694175719228292008-02-05T23:06:00.000-07:002008-02-06T00:14:42.001-07:00La Nina For Real?<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Gtj-SQHSexc/R6lT9LLdZqI/AAAAAAAAAA8/9fUeGku3Dsc/s1600-h/IMG_3598.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Gtj-SQHSexc/R6lT9LLdZqI/AAAAAAAAAA8/9fUeGku3Dsc/s320/IMG_3598.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5163750758194964130" /></a><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>2.3.08 front yard</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>This winter was predicted to be a la nina-dry/warm climate.

By the time they got off the slopes the mountain pass and roads were closed. Needless to say him and about 100 others bombarded the sleepy town of South Fork, jammed the lodges and ate all of the one mexican restaurant's food. Oh and he got Monday off from work to take the back roads on what would normally be a 2 hr trip into a 9 adventure. I having stayed home because of my herbalism class had a snow day with the dogs. </div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5726254081899593351-4307169417571922829?l=catalyst7.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Megan Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04020657169557350325noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5726254081899593351.post-48541544893062750332008-02-05T22:47:00.000-07:002008-02-06T00:15:43.301-07:00Hot Springs All Over<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Gtj-SQHSexc/R6lK2bLdZpI/AAAAAAAAAA0/iPjaidMCRk4/s1600-h/DSCN7392.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Gtj-SQHSexc/R6lK2bLdZpI/AAAAAAAAAA0/iPjaidMCRk4/s320/DSCN7392.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5163740746626197138" /></a><br />Hot springs are a natural occurrence here and are a welcome tonic for my mind and body health. Pagosa Springs to our east and Ouray to our North are the more revered springs to visit as Pagosa Springs is the largest aquifer in the world and Ouray is located in a beautiful box canyon. For centuries the shaman of native tribes and army doctors of the civil war era to miner's and pioneers of the 1900's all have sought the healing waters. It sure beats the hot tub.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5726254081899593351-4854154489306275033?l=catalyst7.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Megan Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04020657169557350325noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5726254081899593351.post-9355532175796261362008-02-05T22:31:00.000-07:002008-02-06T00:19:13.336-07:00Medieval Snowdown<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Gtj-SQHSexc/R6lJFrLdZoI/AAAAAAAAAAs/cmK88lUSKp0/s1600-h/IMG_2226.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Gtj-SQHSexc/R6lJFrLdZoI/AAAAAAAAAAs/cmK88lUSKp0/s320/IMG_2226.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5163738809595946626" /></a>Jan 30-Feb 3<br /><div>Durango's Annual Winter Festival Snowdown. This year with snow! It's such a blast to be in town for this weekend, with so many events taking place the town gets crazy. Durangonians don't hold anything back with events like slalom mountain biking, polar beer plunge, beard growing contests, hot air balloon rally, softball on ski's, doggy costume contests, night time parade, pancake breakfast and of course a theme, this year-medieval style lords and ladies. So one night I was a beer wench instead of a cocktail waitress at Carver's-it was fun! <div> </div><div> </div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5726254081899593351-935553217579626136?l=catalyst7.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Megan Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04020657169557350325noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5726254081899593351.post-1646407442079976282008-02-05T22:25:00.000-07:002008-02-06T00:16:17.747-07:00You Can Call Me a Copywriter<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Gtj-SQHSexc/R6lGAbLdZnI/AAAAAAAAAAk/-09TwrbqLHs/s1600-h/IMG_3312.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Gtj-SQHSexc/R6lGAbLdZnI/AAAAAAAAAAk/-09TwrbqLHs/s320/IMG_3312.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5163735420866750066" /></a><br />Overlooking the town from atop the mesa working at the Fort, or Fort Lewis College for those afar, has been lovely.

Living in SW Colorado in the four corners area is very majestic and wide open country so sometimes it seems infinite from point to point. Traveling to the city for the weekend in 50 degree sunshine and seeing girls in flipflops was reminiscent of the South East. It does grow very cold in Denver but Mother Nature gave us warmth and we walked about the city. Sts9 was unreal and I was replenished with hours of dancing, music and smiles.
