Courtney + Michael

Everglades guides, so wonderful to see them and meet her husband Michael, cook lots of yummy food and talk. Neil and Courtney were guides at the same time and Michael worked with Outward Bound, met Courtney and they continued guiding down there for a while. They also think about farming in the future. The where and how are definitely things they consider. It was great to show them the farm, Michael so happily sampled everything. They are off to climb Mt Rainier. They also are great with yarn - she crochets and he knits - beautiful hats he had just made one that he knitted and then felted for her and a super intricate Fair Isle pattern he was working on for another hat. It was really sad to see them off. Possible they will be back around Labor Day... we hope. Before they head back to California to teach at an outdoors school they've been working with for the past couple years. Very inspiring.
