Oatland Island

Here's two ridiculously cute Oliver quotes from yesterday:
After looking around the house for me: "Mommy, it breaks my heart when I don't know where you are."
"Mommy, I don't have enough bootie to jiggle my butt."

Permaculture Gathering

As you might imagine, Oliver did not have a lot of patience for these circles.

We visited Joe Hollis' Mountain Gardens. These are Chinese herb tinctures.

Compost outhouse

His property backs up onto a national park where Oliver discovered a butterfly.


Oliver was really tired when I was taking this pictures (you can tell by his eyes). He fell asleep in my arms during a q&a session with Joe Hollis.








Oliver's favorite part of the trip was meeting Silas, a cutie with a HUGE personality.
