We spent time yesterday between the two places that have meant home to us here on Whidbey. During the gorgeous fall daylight hours we were at the Prairie Front (South Whidbey Tilth) helping with Market cleanup.

| leaving messages. |
 |
| Later in the day, there was a soup to be made for the evening gathering. A few herbs from Eileen's garden to season |
 |
| On the way to the Prairie Front the sun painted a Creamsicle sky |
 |
| Moki bundled up in the warming, practical and beautiful mana of gifts from very special women: "Big Red" storm coat from jt, Dikka hat and scarf a long-time fav, Hopi scarf. Thank you wonderful friends! |
 |
| Waiting for Hoku ... Pete, Madir, Angie and Maria |
 |
| Madir, Pete and JC holding the woven 'aha of 8 la'i ti leaves signifying the 8 years we have lived on Whidbey moku. Our friends who joined us held the 'aha as I asked for permission to live here on this Land. The prayer was directed to the Ancestors and this Land. Once the chant was finished we clapped our conclusion and set the prayer free. Then, everyone had a chance to share a full moon wish ... we held space for each other. I thanked each friend for sharing their wish. |
 |
| And then ... Hoku did come slowly through the Tall Ones until she was fully present. |
 |
| The Hoku moon in the early morning following the Ceremony of Asking. The Moon was on her way west, toward Hawaii. This is a reminder of being able to see the moon from many places. This point of view? A morning view from the woods of Forest Lane the place we have called home for nearly eight years. Mahalo nui loa e Mahina ! |
