Happy Friday my friends!
We are still less than 24 hours to the waning side of our May, Milk Moon. Did you get a chance to go outside last night and look at that beautiful full moon? I did! Wow!
We built a full moon fire and cooked and ate dinner around it. Then we roasted marshmallows and watched the moon rise over the trees on the east side of our yard.
After we tucked the boys in and Mike disappeared into the computer room, I wandered into the dining room with a piece of paper and my favorite gel pen.
I wrote a letter to the Universe. A letter of gratitude and love and admiration. A letter of intentions and excited expectations. Then I took it out to my fire, which was now a glowing array of red/orange coals and ash. And after a brief grounding/centering, I added my letter to the circle of coals. It immediately burst into yellow flame and as I watched the smoke from it rise into the night air, I intended in my heart that also were my words of gratitude and intention released into the Universe…. So mote it be.
This morning, I squatted on the flat river rock in the middle of my small raised garden bed in the morning sunshine wearing my pajama pants and housecoat, in my bare feet that were damp from the dew in the grass, dragging my little hand rake through the soil, loosening up the small weeds that were beginning to root.
This rock has become my favorite place. I love the way it feels under my feet. Especially in the morning when the sun has warmed it and I walk through the dewy grass and then step with my cool, damp feet onto this wonderfully warm stone. I love to squat down and play in the dirt. I love to touch all the plants and talk to them. I tell them how beautiful they are and how LOVELY they’re looking today! I tell them how lucky I am to have them growing here in my very own garden and how delighted I am to see that they’re thriving and happy!
This rock in my island. Right in the middle of paradise.
The clusters of green near the lattice are all climbing flowers. Four o’clocks and morning glorys and sweet pea. They’ve already got their tiny little arms outstretched and reaching! I’m so excited that they’re growing so well!!
I’m looking forward to getting my little garden expanded to the other side of the lattice this weekend. I really can’t believe how much I love gardening and that I haven’t been doing it all my life. _sigh_ Shoulda been a farmer. LOL
Spending time in my garden is the perfect thing for me to do this weekend. With my little fire ritual last night, there’s nothing that will suit my attraction energy better than spending the next few days doing something I LOVE doing. Talk about amping up the feel good vibe!
I hope you intend to spend your weekend doing things you love. There’s no better time to take a break and do something nice for YOU than now!
If you love to garden also, I want to share my very favorite gardening book with you. It’s my little green gardening bible. Jerry Baker’s Great Green Book of Garden Secrets!! I don’t even know where I got this book from, but I’ve had it for years. It is FILLED with tips and tricks and tonics and it’s all natural. For example, to get rid of slugs you mix a can of beer, 1 TBSP sugar, and 1 tsp bakers yeast. Let it sit for a few days, and then leave it in your garden for them.
But that’s not all. There’s tips on planting and cultivating and fertilizing and composting and even more that I’m not even thinking of. I LOVE this book.
My affirmation today is~ As I love, so I create!!
Have a FANTASTIC weekend!!
