Day 4: Woof

Family Emergency, gotta blast…

Today I realized I need to leave ASAP. The 1st day I was in Pala, CA I realized the Wwoof home I was living in was flea infested with 6 dogs and very unclean living conditions. The house is nasty, to be frank. There is poop awaiting you in the kitchen, the moment you wake up. There are 6 dogs that are infested with fleas, open windows and doors during the night, and mysterious flying critters at night. At this point, I am sleeping with ALL of my clothes on as well as boots because the living rooms’ bed is visibly unclean and there are countless critters within the house.

I am going to remain positive until I am able to leave and return back to Atlanta.

Day 2: “Indian” Reserve via Mount Olympus Farm

Today I picked wild lettace, trimmed the hedges, cleaned stalls, and celebrated 1 year with a painting and sold it 2 days short of the celebration. :) Today was a goo day!

This is where the Wwoof host kept her horse items. I would love to come in here for occasional self portrait photoshoots. :)

Stretchy and I

I love to sit outside with the horses in between my work to chief and meditate.

Wild Lettuce

I picked this wild lettuce from one of the gardens on the farm while I was on Mt. Olympus

Wild Lettuce Milk

Wild lettuce milk can be used as a sedative and pain cure. It can be prepared by drying or by making an extract.

Wild Lettuce

As part of the extract process, the wild lettuce must be chopped… The 1st time I tried this resume, the chops were more purified. The 2nd time, I chopped the wild lettuce with a knife.

Wild Lettuce Extract

This is the wild lettuce extract after it was chopped and strained twice. Now it is ready to heal!

Layover #1 was at McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas. The anticipation was everything as I waited patiently for the next connecting flight… However, I managed to keep my mind occupied with my Bristol Sketchbook and new read.
