Blog 5 - Day 4 (Half way :)

 Greetings fellow family, friends, and acquaintances, 

    Today marked the halfway point of our bountiful Wisconsin journey. To begin, we ventured off to Liam our instructor's, house where we acquired bug nets essential to our spiritual harvesting journey. As our journey went on we were educated on the history of leeks. We discovered multiple groves of the green, leafy friends, ramps, leeks (major shout to Solomon's grove of leeks, he was very proud). We harvested a plentiful cornucopia of leek leafs and bulbs, which we used in our dinner which we will get to later ;). 

    We returned to our red abode, and headed up the hill to reflect in the meadow. We discussed what we have enjoyed on this trip, and what we would like to see less of. It was very productive! We then packed our bags and headed to the hike at Myrtle beach. The hike was the longest yet, but oh so worth it! Despite the increase in difficulty we persevered for over an hour and made it to the sea cave look out. We took some flicks and explored the area for a little. We then headed back to the beach area and believe it or not, we jumped in! Bodhi, Lauren, Bella, Henry, Rex, Sophie, MBS, Evan, Alex, Marin, fully submerged in the icy superior lake. Another shout to Solomon who only committed halfway :(. We ran back to the vans to warm up, where Solomon was viciously attacked by not one, but TWO ticks. They were killed and no lyme disease was acquired. We caught a cheesy sneaky MBS smirk as he looked out at the beautiful view of The Lake Superior, a truly rare sight. 

    We came back for dinner and Marin and Tess prepared a scrumptious and sumptuous leek pasta dish. While they worked hard in the kitchen, the other children created some lovely modeling clay tortoise sculptures. Bodhi and Lauren G tied for best sculpture. We also played some lovely rounds of UNO in which sneaky Liam T and Lauren G (not sneaky) won! We ended off our beautiful day with a nice warm fire in which we roasted marshmallows. We also played a couple rounds telephone which ended unsuccessfully. 

That's all everyone, peace and love to all,

Bodhi, Sophie, Lauren G, Solomon M, Bella, Liam, Lauren R

 Today, we travelled from California to Wisconsin. The entire trip took around 12 hours to complete before we were welcomed to our beautiful home at the Potter's Farm. We had some scrumptious mushroom stew, with some protein packed meatballs to provide us with complex carbohydrates to serve as a short term energy source in addition to the protein repairing our muscle fibers from the long day of travel. While the other individuals were goofing around playing games such as "Chameleon," three special individuals took up the challenge of defeating the mountain of dishes, those brave individuals being Bodhi, Evan, and Rex. After we finished eating and cleaning, we gathered in a circle to have a communal debrief to forge a deeper connection between our newly found peers here at Potter's Farm. Each and every one of us are extremely excited for whatever beautiful mysteries the future beholds for us here at Lake Superior. (More pictures to come in future posts) Yours truly, Bo...

 Greetings fine people,      Today we woke from our deep slumber for the first time in Wisconsin! We had eggs and bagels for breakfast. We traversed a difficult trail that led us to a lookout over the lake. It was a tad bit windy, but we had a blast. We ate our scrumptious homemade sandwiches at the lookout. We drove to the visitor center and worked with our groups to get information for our essential questions. We spent a couple hours exploring the center and going to the gift shop. After that we went to Ashland which is considered their downtown but it didn't have much to be honest compared to the great and glamorous Silicon Valley. We returned to our humble abode (red barn) and had free time. The boys played football outside and Henry was dominating. The girls rested upstairs and made bracelets and read books.  Sleep tight all, Sophie and Bodhi
