Mietzke's Holden Adventure

What a busy little place Holden village is right now. I feel like it has been non stop movement since I got back from Canada. Last night we had an amazing dinner in honor of Saint Patrick day with corned beef and cabbage and broiled vegetables and soda bread and baked honey apples. It was an amazing feast!
People have been gathering in the dining hall batik dying eggs and putting together collages for a meditation/prayer vigil. Others have been sewing. It has been fun to be in the dining hall like an extended living room working with others on projects. The psanky eggs have been a real hit and many people have been having a blast doing the batik and dying process.
We have also been busy practicing drumming for several of the services coming up, and the high school dance team is going to be dancing to the drumming. Any way it is busy around here, and the Easter week begins tonight with a really full week ahead of us.
Dave and his friend Daniel have been busy digging snow caves today. They even have a tunnel that goes between the two caves. Jordyn, Nyrie and I went for a walk and gathered armloads of pussy willows. They are so soft and pretty all fluffed out.
Last night Dave and I went for a walk to the labyrinth. The snow was so loose that we post holed the whole way, but it was sure beautiful out there. The moon came out from behind the clouds and the mountains have changed so much with the melting snow. It was also just nice to get some time together after having been gone for so long.
