Sorry I have been away a little while. I went to Denton to celebrate my DD's college graduation. Also, to help the oldest one move up there. I miss them all so much. At least they are all together in Denton in case they need someone. Guess when it is time to find my farm I will be looking up by Dallas instead of here.

Good morning - it sounds like everyone has been as busy as I have. Lots of outside work in the gardens and still potting up plants as they are getting too big - again. I sure wish this weather would finally decide to be spring. We are on freeze warnings for tonight so I have to cover all the plants I have out to harden off. Keep your fingers and toes crossed that they survive, girls. I'd move them back in but they are tied up as they are so top heavy because they are so tall. This is getting old! We had high winds and thunder storms last night and our temps have dropped almost 30 degrees...brrr. Only supposed to get into the low 50's today. Guess I should get back to it just thought I'd pop in and say hi.
Blessings, Sheri

Hi Sheri, hope the weather gets more springy soon, and your plants hang in there. we are having summer here today, up to the 80's and humid. my brother has a cherry tree just loaded with cherries. no one there wanted them, so I now have 3 gallons of cherries to pit today. can't beat free food.
sending wishes for better weather and good crops. Phyllis |

Hello Ladies,
So nice to hear about everyone springing into the season. We have been having wild electric storms here with heavy rains. Nice to not have to water the garden, so many seeds are finally coming out. My boxes are full of nasturtiums, calandula and catmint. The skirt of the Goddess of Hops is to the top of her tower but "heide's happy hop house" was hit really hard by the winds (needing new structural/construction).
Draw. How much time in a day do you spend seeing with your eyes closed? Be inspired by one of the world's greatest, Sulamith Wulfing http://wulfing.artpassions.net/ Grab some colors, paper and a blindfold. Go outside and place your colors before you, then put on the blindfold and color the paper, layer your movements to the different selections of colors.

Hey everyone, guess the weather is being hard on everyone. We are having heat and humidity here which is normal but I am riding my horses everyday to condition them for our trip. About 7p.m. the wind picks up and it doesn't feel like spring anymore it feels like fall. It is so strange. We also got a report on the news today about a possible tropical depression in the Gulf. We know Hurricane season is from Spring to Fall but usually we don't get a lot of activity until late fall. We just finished rebuilding from Ike. I am not ready to start again. Wish us luck for the upcoming Hurricane Season. I think Gaia is trying to tell us something.

Heide - how cool that you mentioned Sulamith Wulfing - one of my favorite artists. I have three of her prints that hand in my office by my computer and one in my sewing room. Hope all is well with everyone. Weird weather all around - the same weather that Heide had has been here coupled with really cold temps and covering plants at night. It's supposed to moderate by mid week next week - I sure hope so as it feels like March with the winds to boot. I agree - Gaia is trying to tell us something.
Blessings, Sheri

Brightest Blessings,

Hi Chassie, it's never to late to join in the fun. we haven't talked about a swap in a while. maybe we can get one organized by winter solstice. welcome !!!
Beth, hoping this hurricane season is kind to you. we were in Fla. in 94, and had a visit from Charlie(there are still houses with tarps on the roof) Francis, and Jeanne. thankfully we had very little damage, but I'm happy to be away from hurricane territory.
I do think that Gaia is trying to tell us something. to bad most people aren't listening . glad to know that some of us are. blessings Phyllis |

Phylis-I've said the same thing recently! We've had a substantial increase of nasty natural disasters-hurricanes hitting unusual places, high magnitude earthquakes. I'm not a scientist, but you don't have to be to realize that humans have to change...
Here's wishing everyone will be safe thru the stormy seasons ahead!
Brightest Blessings,
Chassie
City-bound for now! Looking for my little piece of heaven... |

Hi, Stephanie, good to have you here. This is a great group of ladies. We get quiet sometimes when we are all busy but we come back sooner or later. A winter solstice swap might be good if we can all get together.
Blessed Be

Hello ladies!
Yes, a swap is a great idea. I was responsible for last years and it never happened. Mostly because I got "booted" from the local sisterhood and just was over all hurt about being called "witchy." "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will. . .
Never hurt me!" I know so juvenile! When will we all grow up?
So yes we should talk more of a swap, and I still have the addresses from last years ladies and can invite them.
But for today, and like all of you, I have a TON of things to do (should of been done yesterday, lol) but for us worker bees, there must be, at least, one moment to ourselves. . .
Sigh. Does your mind ever float to a time you said something or did something that was judged (leaving you embarrassed, still)? Take the deepest breath in and think of that instance than slowly release your breath and let your soul say to yourself, deep inside, "I now lovingly forgive myself and proceed actively in my life, in love."

Hi! I'm also back, too. glad to "see" you all. Heide, I too was having some trouble with things that happened in the sisterhood in general - not this string and nothing "directed" at only me. Have kind of been searching for "my" place in spirituality, too. I just borrowed Faransgirl's (Beth who is my real life sister) book called "The Way of the Hedge Witch." It feels so familiar - a place for me to start looking again.
I'm the one who used to be afraid of the horses. They have now so touched my life - I can't imagine being without them. I ride with her as often as I can.
Happy to touch base with all of you again.
Blessings to you all . . .
