Third time’s a charm. After two previous attempts, finally summited Mt. Adams this morning. And of course, upon reaching the second highest peak of the Pacific Northwest, waiting for me was a spectacular view of the highest. Fuck you, Mt. Rainier.

This lucky jersey calf gets to grow up on pasture and will be milked twice a day. She will primarily eat grass, and only eat grain when milked. I have come to be a huge supporter of organic dairy, especially the organic valley label which is a farmer owned cooperative. #cascademountainschool

Today’s school consisted of more wet on wet painting after we read a few books with winter landscapes and Scandinavian illustration. We had multiple conversations through the day of how people celebrate and prepare for winter around the world. And then the kids painted! I absolutely love how they create really beautiful and expressive paintings. We seriously need to have an art gallery for everything they have made this year! Stay. Tuned for pictures. I taught them how to make “speckled stars” in their winter landscape paintings. 😊 #kidart #homeschool #homestudio #messykids #happykids #cascademountainschool

She’s off for her school overnight trip! She handled all of her own packing and I am fully confident that means she’ll have at least 95% of the things she really needs. Girlfriend is on top of it! #urchinadventures #montessorikids #overnightfieldtrip #cascademountainschool

Feeling over moon about the success of today! Cascade Mountain School's summer camp had their last Farm to Table field trip at our house. We opened the hive, found the Queen bee, saw pollen be brought back at the entrance, ate honeycomb straight from a frame, and some even conquered their fear of bees! I couldn't be more thrilled about this first time adventure. Many more to come with wderith I hope! #honeybythepeople #honeybees #beekeeping #hoodriver #columbiagorge #CascadeMountainSchool #dowhatyoulove #teacheachother #youthbeekeeping
