~5 days of enchantment~day 2~

 

here we are on day two of Jani's 5 days of enchantment

 

so

 

air

 

i think being an Aquarian~the water barer and an air sign, this is perfect for me.

 

as i sit here typing i have a cool breeze flowing over me from the open window behind me and bird song floating in that cool air.

usually i sit outside in my nook burning incense and often take photos of the smoke as it rises~i have a supply of Glastonbury bought incense like jani and adore it (there shall be much re-stocking next Tuesday when i am there again!) but i also burn nag champa, a lose blend made my friend tilli and sometimes my own blend.

 

i also burn it in my work room when i am working although with a closed door between me and the rest of the house as swampy is not overly keen (grrrr!)

 

Aquarius is a fix air sign, ruled by eccentric and unpredictable Uranus and hard working Saturn~i am all about thinking, focus, humanity and rebellion!

 

 

take three deep breaths...

 

everyday, first thing, preferably out in your garden!

 

i do this each morning in my garden (unless our rain makes me think monsoon has come to the new forest!) i love getting out there as early as possible and just 'being' enjoying the peace and birdsong...

 

 

 

 



~catching up~

 

things have been a bit slow since my last post, my lingering cold has hit my fibro quite badly and i have had a lot of pain in my arms and hands which means typing is painful.

today it is a smidge better and i just had to get here and pour out more words for those of you who read this blog regularly...i wish i know who you all were!

 

 

the weather has been quite rainy and again the forest is water logged, although yesterday we saw the first foal on the forest...the first foal we have seen. it must have only been a day or two old and was a dark one. every year in april we say to each other 'i wonder when we will see the first foal?'.

seeing the foals is a real indication that the great wheel has indeed turned and spring is here.

yesterday i also saw a few black lambs in a small field we pass when going shopping which resulted in much squealing!

next day

my hands and mind gave out at that point so here i am again to try and finish this post.


there was much excitement yesterday as my copy of pagan dawn was delivered...with my artists profile in!

 

i am so honoured to have two pages of my work for all to see.

our garden is slowly coming to life and is just bursting with green and early flowers which is attracting so many bee's~i have even had one angrily buzzing as it became caught in my hair as i passed under our clematis covered archway!

 

 

i met this little person sitting in my nook and it looks live he loves the garden enough to stay...

 

 

 

 i even sat out there one sunny morning to blend my Ritual incense (now for sale...sorry advertising!)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 and i even had a 'green boot day'

 

 

last week we stopped on our way home from my appointment at the pain clinic to look at the utter devastation one area of the forest suffered from the valentine storm

 

 

 

everywhere we looked here there were huge trees down, we tried to count and worked out there must have been way more than 60~just total devastation.

 

well, i have finally finished this post~i am still debating my move over to solsticedreamer.com and figure out how to have my own blog roll there.

 

anyway i hear coffee and toast calling me...have a good day!
