Saturday Famers Market & Relaxation

This is my post for saturday.

Woke up before the again, i really like doing that, it allows me to fully experience the beuaty of the sunshine. i woke up before alot of the birds did, and hearing them all get up and immediatly start singing together. Ahhh it just lifts me to such high places. Its truly amazing the unity that you can find in nature. Morning unity, which led me to the infinity herb garden as teh sun was rising to hartvest cilantro and dill, with Reylbeck (intern and amazing person) for the farmers co-op down in town. Mandy joined us for the market experience as well.

The VI Farmers Co-op is a great thing arising. its taken three years for it to get to the point it is at now, which is a small tent covered, gathering ever saturday, however the land behind it is now owned by the Department of Agriculture and is going to be leased out to over 50 different farmers, Funding is on its way which will allow the constuction of a permanent, shelter?store for the farmers to sell produce 7 days a week, the Co-op will also be creating networks, for volunteers to come and help out. St. Croix was once considered the Bread basket of the Caribbean, but know imports 99% of its food. The Co-op is a deffinite move back in the right direction.

Aftert spending a couple of hours helping to sell our produce at the market, Reylbeck, Mandy, and myself moved on to get some lunch, Tasty veggie sandwich by the ocean.

The rest of the day went really well, just calm easy relaxation. I sat on the porch of the cabana and played around with some clay trying to make some pendents. I will see if they survive the firing process, and then i cut a hole into a piece of shell that i found on the beach, and with some fibers from a snake plant I made a neckles.

Then after bloggong for a while, just hung and relaxed to some reggae. :)

later on after making some pumking and curry rice, Ryan and I Burnt some resine from the stinken toe tree, we groudnedn up the resine and used a coconut nut as a bowl and ash to hold the bamboo charcol that you light up, and then sprinkle the "loose incences" powrder on it.

The process is amazing and and the scent of the resine was mystical sort of resembled Frankensense

All in all the day is a productive day, of sharing produce, and discovering activities that sustain me with a roots feeling.

I got to go now cause the lizard next to my bed is staring at me, probabply telling me to get off this computer and get myself to the beach for a game of vollyball, followed by a superbowl party.

Miss you all, but truly enjoying myself.
