Maya and I attended the yearly Herb Festival in Cannon Falls this weekend. It was great to see
Lise Wolff again (I have taken classes from her in the past) and it was fun to learn new things. I only had one negative experience, a single instructor that clearly didn't belong there (had her group drinking essential oils, putting several undiluted eos on the skin, referred to Robert Tisserand as Robert Tisserude and revealed
she was a practitioner of
raindrop therapy - among other things), aside from that though the rest of the festival was awesome. Can never get bored learning and talking about medicinal plants :-) (note: anyone that knows anything about the use of essential oils will know why I count that one instructor as a negative).
The day was beautiful, sun shining and temp was perfect. Here is some pix from the day:
