Hello there! My name is Lourdes Still and I work for Young Agrarians. My colleague forwarded your work to me because she thought that your work aligns with the theme of our mixer this coming Dec 2-3. It is Rooted: Grow Deep, an ode to what remains of the mixed-grass prairie on the land we are farming on. I would love to invite you to attend our mixer and even have an art installation at the venue. I can be reached at prairiesnetwork@youngagrarians.org. Looking forward to hearing from you. - Lourdes
Right now it’s so wet and foggy out on Hamilton Mountain that I am only going out the door to the shed to get some tiny seed pots to start some veggies. Hardly wild but at least it’s out the door!
I really appreciated your video and zine. I can so easily relate to the topic ...Im often puzzled by how hard it seems to get out the door sometimes, as I thrive out there. I find it harder to get out the door consistently in the winter months, and am always glad when I do. On the days that I don't get out, I take time to look outside. My favorite spots are in the garden, by the back deck where the birds collect, and down the nearby field road to the slough and the creek. I would love a copy of your zine, and could stop by on route to or from Regina this weekend to pick it up and enjoy a visit if the timing works out for you Sue.
True! (About being hard to get out the door). Thanks for telling us about your favourite spots and I will be in touch about picking up the zine!! - Sue
It is always so delightful to read, and in this case listen to you both. I agree, getting out the door is key...always so much to discover, to see. It is new every morning! Thank you both for challenging me to see, really see how nature is waiting to reveal itself. As Robin Kimmerer says, it is nature loving us back! Yes I have a deep love for all creation, may my eyes be open to the many ways nature loves me back! Have a wonder-filled day!
Chantelle, I really love your comment, "It's new every morning!" For some reason I find it very uplifting. Many mornings I'm up first and take Bean, our yellow lab, out the door. This morning he listened intently to the birds in the tiny, undisturbed bush across from our home where we heard a new sound today. Immediately, he focused on it. Also a good reminder for me that every morning is new...the wisdom of a dog. Thanks so much for your words. Vera

I love the video, and the zine is gorgeous! Yes, sign me up for a copy if one is available.
One of my favourite spots out my door is to walk through Ottawa’s Arboretum. Whether alone or with my dog, in all seasons it never fails to delight.
Ruth, in the entire time I lived in Ottawa I never walked there. I hope one day you and Sadie will be able to show me your fav place. xov
Yes, come for a visit! Bring Bean!
