The Tower
Topic: Home
 So, here is the tower. What would you make of this guy living right next to your house (as in, on your property)? I've been intimidated by it a lot, but am trying to let go of that fear. Especially since I'm not planning on moving out of my grandma's house anytime soon. So I've tried to learn more about it. Aparantly it runs on about 18,000 volts and the military that put it there claim it to be harmless. I've always held doubts about that. It is a power line basically. Not like a radio tower. So, what do you know about these things?

Garden Developments
Topic: Beautiful Plant Life
Yay look at my garden grow! I am so proud. I was a self-proclaimed "Black Thumb" and look what I have done all on my own!! Well, I've had a little help here and there of course, but the bulk of it was all ME. Whoo hoo!!! The eggplants are doing beautifully, my cucumbers are too closely spaced but flourishing anyway, the basil is doing awesome, the kang kong is beginning to thrive, the pepper plant and lemongrass are doing awesome, and we just transplanted a whole bunch of tomatoes yesterday. Oh, and behind the tomatoes are a couple corn sprouts. I am so excited!!! 
Here is a special spot I made...I've got special plans in the works for this spot =)

 "Don't worry mom, I got this. I got this down, while eating too!"
Kenny will be one in less than a month (7/17) and he is starting to walk now! My little turkey is so cute, wobbliness and all.

Flowers and Plants!
Topic: Home
White Ginger flowers smell soooooooooooo good! This bouquet is on my altar. I would be happy to just stand next to them all day long sniffing them, LOL. When I walk into my home, I smell them. When I come out of the shower, when I wake up, as I go to sleep, I smell them. They have this scent of vanilla cream with a just a drop of fruit juice in it... heavenly. The only thing is that they wilt and die pretty quickly, so you just have to have a lot of them, so you can pick them once a week and have on going heaven scent in your home!  We also cut a big bunch of red ginger to go on the kitchen table. I just love how vibrant the red is, it is actually more of a magenta, and they just make me feel...ALIVE. Cheerful and bright. Womanly. There is a huge patch of these along the sidewalk outside, they are basically constantly producing, so I almost ALWAYS have these in my house! I just love flowers. Not only do they brighten up a room and add life to any home, but they give me a sense of comfort and safety. Like when life is basically upsidedown, at least I've got some beautiful flowers around my house to look at!

 Every found this praying mantis in our compost bucket. You can't really see it in the picture, but it was kind of brown and metallic green. I have seen brown or green praying mantises but never one with this combination of spectacular colors! I wish I showed better in the photo, but I will never forget it! Hope it enjoyed the rotting produce, LOL.

Merry Summer Solstice to All!
Topic: Celebrations
 Summer Solstice 2008! And an interesting one at that, with Mercury just out of retrograde, we just had a full moon two nights ago, Neptune is still in retrograde, etc... Things have been crazy lately, lots of difficult emotions have come up, lots of growth and transformation, and LOTS of letting go.
To the left is our "Wicker Man" who for us, represents God, and we honor him and his power of the sun by lighting him ablaze on the longest day of the year. We wrote on pieces of paper the things we want to let go of, and put them in the man's center.  It is a symbol of taking our worries and sending them off in the smoke of the fire, for the divine to take care of. We lift ourselves of burdens and weight. I have been feeling more depressed and filled with moments of rage than usual lately, and I hope to see that lift now. Every is slowly but surely, letting go of "Nah Nah" (yes, we've still been nursing!), and Kenny, is letting go of crawling, as he is practically walking now! So we cast a circle around the Wicker Man, thanked the divine and all the  elements that surround us, and announced what we were letting go of. Every literally kissed Nah Nah goodbye, lol. We "dressed" the Wicker Man and then lit him ablaze. It was a beautiful flame, and both kids were fascinated as usual by the power and wonder of fire. We sat on a blanket eating biscuits and drumming till the flame went out. Totally a last minute celebration, but it was great! Merry Solstice to all!

 Today was one of those days I woke up feeling "BLAH" and didn't really want to go through with the day if you know what I mean. I didn't feel like being a mother, and both kids were on my last nerve. I was basically choosing to be annoyed, irritable, resentful, apathetic, and depressed. I was feeling the "Why me??" for sure. Why do I have to watch both kids everyday? Why don't I get a break? Why don't I have any money? Well, because I have chosen these things I guess. Writing where I know others will be reading allows me to feel a bit more accountable and the answers to my questions seem pretty obvious. Maybe I will choose something different, who knows? Why do I feel such a big block of negative energy regarding money and my life? More importantly, how do I transform that energy?
So here I am, petitioning to the divine. So, I am sorry for whatever I have done to create this block, these unwanted energies. Please forgive me. I love you, and know that you love me unconditionally, regardless of how I feel or what situation I have created for myself. I am sorry that I am having a difficult time feeling gratitude this morning, and wanting to be somewhere other than where I am. I am sorry I have not been a respectful mother this morning, and have treated my children in a way that I know is not right. Please forgive me. My intellect and memories have gotten in my way of my experiencing divine love, purity and bliss, and therefor my children have suffered this morning. I am sorry. Please forgive me. I ask for these energies to be transmuted to pure light, so that my children and I can experience love in the way we were always meant to, and the freedom of seeing with the eyes of God, where everything and everyone is perfect. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU!

 Round and round the mullberry bush, the monkey chased the weasle! We've been picking berries at least twice a day for about a month now, and they'll be around for the whole summer I'm sure! YUM!

A peak into my space (no, not MySpace!)
Topic: Home
Enjoy! I'm so proud of it, and really enjoy being in my space. I just keep getting more inspiration over time to add beauty here or there.
I have also added reminders for myself  See the "breathe" and "smile" signs? I can't wait to paint the walls!! That will come in time though  Any ideas on colors? I'm really wanting an earthy, light yellow, maybe some beige/brownish with orange tint, maybe some sage/mint green or something...not sure yet. Walk in the front door: 
The "living room" area 
To the left (spot the nudist!) 
To the right 
Where we do our business LOL 
And where we dream:
