Garden Guardian

Look what I found in the garden today...

I can feel the crispness in the air that heralds Autumns approach.  I can't wait for crunchy leaves, pumpkins, and warm cider!

Are you enjoying summers last blooms?

Blessed Litha

Are you ready for the trooping faeries!!  They will be on the move today and through the night, looking for a place to call home for a while.  Entice them to your garden with a bowl of cream or some honey.  Don't forget to spruce up the yard...add ribbons to the trees, a water fountain, twinkle lights, crystals...anything sparkly and fun.  Dance around your garden and rejoice in the abundance of summer!!

Today we honor the Sun God!!  You can learn more about Litha here.

There are ribbons in all of my trees, bubbles floating on the breeze, and sweet laughter filling my garden this Midsummer.  I have also been busy in the studio making pendulums charged with the wonderful energy of the Summer Solstice.

How do you celebrate Midsummer?

Birds of a Feather

This clever bird stole a green ribbon from me to feather his nest.  I hope he attracts a nice girl!

Spring, Blossoms & Four Letter Words

Spring has finally sprung...and in my neck of the woods (desert is more accurate!) spring also brings a foul four letter word...WIND.  Luckily, I caught some photos before it got super windy.

 

I have a stunning Flowering Plum Tree in my backyard that has the prettiest pink blossoms.  I look forward to their arrival every spring and this year I was not disappointed!

Than came the evil WIND...I guess this is just a reminder to live in the moment, for those beautiful blossoms could be gone tomorrow.  So take the time to sit under that flowering spring tree and enjoy the beauty of this season while it lasts!

What is your favorite thing about spring?
