nina's

last evening i drove up to montpelier to visit nina and her family, jay and son bodhi (pictured), and roger and danny, who are camping out at nina's for a bit while they settle in vermont. i wasn't sure i was at the right house at first, but knavin, roger's dog, bounding through the screen door, settled my uncertainty.
nina welcomed me as a butterfly and we had a little photo shoot out in the yard. danny cooked us some yummy beans and rice pudding and nina made some super intense kava that numbed my tongue and throat! i brought an aduki bean and seaweed dish i'd made earlier inspired by the nutritional healing book that danny gave me after our trip to tennessee.
roger toured me through the camper he and danny are sharing. it's packed! danny and roger were preparing to camp at solarfest, a music and alternative energy fair in vermont. roger tried out a new campstove which erupted at first into long leaping yellow flames but then settled down to more manageable hissing short blue flames.

i'm looking forward to more visits, hanging out, perhaps hiking, or backpacking.
