We are a family of gatherers. Sap, mushrooms, plants and berries, gathering is something all four of us seem to really enjoy.

Morchella elata!
On Sunday we went morel hunting with friends to a two-year old fire south of Houston, B.C. Both Wren and Chloë (and their parents) were at fever-pitch. Wren was very excited about finding so many mushrooms and merrily clambered over fallen logs and up hillsides. It was a perfect day, complete with blackened hands and soot-stained, smiling faces. After about four hours we had gathered nearly 20 pounds of Morchella elata. We had morel pizza for dinner, and a few left over to dry for winter.

Wren's Celebration
The news is good. All of Wren's tests came back negative for neuroblastoma. The next tests are in three months. It's time to celebrate!
We would like to invite friends to come to the Big House to celebrate the end of Wren's treatment and her return to good health. We'll have an outdoor barbecue and bonfire with hotdogs starting around 5:00 pm on Saturday June 11th. We will take care of burgers, dogs, buns, tortillas, and fixings but you could bring a salad, appetizer or dessert to share, or just swing by for a visit. Plan B beer will be here and a special cake for Owie Baby who is having (another) birthday--her fourth one of the year! We could run short on chairs, dishes, and cups so if you can, bring some along.
We are deeply grateful for the care that you have given us. We struggle with words to express how much this has meant to us.
Hope to see you here.
The weather has been good and the girls have been playing outside all day, every day. They've been helping in the garden and we are anticipating a great harvest this fall. Wren has been full of energy and has rediscovered her passion for interpretive dance and trampoline, sometimes at the same time. Life is very good.
Love Wren, Chloë, Paula and Patrick
