23 & Me
Finally getting around to posting. January has been eventful so far with birthdays and transitions. December and Christmas were joyous and busy with doula care. I'm immersing into new roles that fill my spirit and deep rooted ancestral knowledge is emerging. I hope to get on here more this year and share the journeying forward of the Wise Wild Woman.

Frijole Friday
Ever since I became a frijolera this is the way I keep my beans. Sometimes the healing that you need comes in a jar and i almost always have some ready to go out the door if needed. Upon leaving I say "if you would like more frijoles bring the jar back ",and that's how the reciprocity works.
My husband's Abuelo used to call me frijole because it's how he pronounced Holly. Such an endearment that I miss as much as his flowery tortillas.
Frijole's Frijole - The Crockpot Method
. Put four cups dried pinto beans into the crock pot
. Fill the Crock-Pot with water leaving an inch at the top
. Set the crock pot for high and let it do the cooking
. I add salt along the way as I stir the beans so there is no definite amount, just taste as you go along
* Sometimes more water needs to be added as you go along, keep an eye on the beans don't let them burn, they're ready when the consistency is soft and palatable enjoy!
P.S. don't forget to put them in a glass jar ! Feliz Dia de Independencia 🇲🇽

Summertime Simmer
We are simmering back into the daily routine of summertime days. Coming off the tail wind of a summer road trip back home to Cali. Future travel photos ahead. This morning's early chores included topping of the herbs for bushier growth. The garden needs to be reseeded due to lack of watering while away and rabbits entering the garden and enjoying our crops. Skirting the storage shed is a must, thats how they are entering under. There are so many home improvement projects which we will gladly do for we are staying in Texas for a long haul.
I've switched to a vegan diet ( more on that later) and chopped mixed fruit salads are so cooling in this heat. The compost is a beautiful mix in itself. Just catching up here on this space. I was gifted a new computer and I'm learning the ease of operation on it. So far so good. I'm at that stage where all my electronics have hit that planned opulence. Remember the movie The Brave Little Toaster?

Forever 21 Twice & January's Intro
Hello January, welcome 2022 and winter... sort of. The last day of 2021 was spend shopping for essentials due to the fact everything federal including Aldi's grocery would be closed on New Years Day. Stayed up to watch the ball drop, which glitched on tv at count down time but was brought in with fireworks and gunfire from the the neighbors promptly at midnight. Then off to bed we were 20 minutes later. The next day was an early morning yard work day prepping for the cold snap that would arrive the next day. We were sweating in shorts and tank tops while covering pipes and weather proofing the garden. Still experiencing spring days with cold snap nights. But I'm not complaining, these days in the yard are glorious.
The kitchen always has something green growing on. Garlic bulbs were sprouting so I transplanted to soil and will transplant again later. I'm thinking of experimenting with growing sprouts and microgreens while outdoor grows are limited.
