Preparing for Workings
I am really envious of that! But I mainly use the yard to accommodate the larger gatherings at my home. We have a blast with the fire pit and with the yard looking woodsy it makes all our workings and gatherings so much fun!
I wish I could find a company to come in to do my floors. All hardwood and tile! But until that day I will be down there buffing and steam cleaning myself!!
Graduation Next Week
I looked at traser watches for the ideal gift as he loves watches and has one for nearly every event! They are really well made and last. My father had one and loved his so I thought why not! You only graduate high school once so that is the gift that will keep on ticking for him!
Next week will be a busy, busy graduation week. My youngest son is graduating into jr. high this year. Where does the time go????

Thoughts For Friday
If you turn your light inwardly, you will find what is esoteric within you.
- The Sutra of Hui Neng
Gardening In The Country
In the country though J. was talking about the deer as his main culprit. They love to come down to his property and eat the fresh greens when they pop out. So one thing that he does is use a Deer Scram repellent. It does not hurt any animals just gives them that little nudge to go away!
We have yet to have the deer venture here. I wouldn't be a bit surprised though to see one or two!
Although they are all really cute to look at they can be very destructive to your gardens!
Property Searching Not Easy
They are looking for property in order to expand their retreat for those that wish to commune with nature and to celebrate the various Sabbats. Of course, the list of things that they are looking for completely wow'd me!
They want to purchase the land and begin construction by 2013. Which sounds like a long time away but as quickly as our days go by it really isn't!
Hopefully they will be able to locate the perfect property. Personally I can not wait as I will be there with wings on with the grand opening!
Preparing For Beltane
Fire safety is number one so prepare in advance. We are lucky here in that we are allowed open fire pits in our yards. Most of the yards are pretty large so it is not an uncommon sight for people in the spring and summer to be sitting around a fire in their back yards.
If this is something that you can not do, try gas fire pits instead. These are wonderful to use! But you still need to practice caution
No matter what you are planning write on your list to be safe and sane!
Soothe Your Mood
Dean was having a hard time with a working and found that light drumming in the background helped him to stay focus with the soft beating of the drums. Saying that he felt more connected to what he was doing than by not having music playing.
Give it a try and see what happens!
Windy Sunday
Instead of working on the herb garden I decided that I should put that off until the winds settle down a bit. Instead of tinkering in the garden I will be helping an old friend research car title loans California today. Not as fun as what I had planned I will tell you that much but I will get to chit chat with my friend off and on all day!
Our hearts and golden energies are being sent out to all those in tornado alley as they are being hit pretty hard this weekend.
