Interviews and More
Hi everyone, Sumner back at it again. Just wanted to let everyone know that there is a lot of more recent content on YouTube. There are a lot of interviews, little “field guides,” and some more varied content moving forward into the year (so stay tuned!): You may have to…
Where’d the blog posts go?
You might have noticed that we haven’t been posting blog posts lately. It’s not that East Wind is no longer here, we very much are. We are very blessed, especially in the time of Covid, and have been mostly unaffected by the pandemic thus far. We discontinued our visitor periods…
Feast, Food, and Winter
We recently celebrated Feast Day. This is our equivalent to Thanksgiving. It was an exciting party that lasted well into a second day. This is our harvest festival, where we celebrate the bounty from our garden. We celebrated by eating sweet potatoes, peppers, kale, and more in various dishes. All…
