I'm home and snuggling in tight with my tribe, just two days before the Solstice Mini-Course begins. Today found me weeding my garden, as my nude offspring frolicked around the property and applied paint to themselves and the porches. It was unusual for me, only in the sense that I arrived home on the west coast before dark this time and was able to make their bedtimes, and get a long night's sleep before hitting the ground running today.
