Following Flora

Gaia Girl (seen here) settles into the lowlands of that grand State of Vermont and partakes in a little ritual of "Pass the what?"
Pine resin incense. Known as a purifier of homes. Used to heal, balance and clear energies: does it work? What do you smell? How do you feel? What do you think?
It is amazing when you stop and think about it. We are surrounded by more plants than we are people (well, out here anyway) and they (like us) all have a story to tell; something to say, something to teach us. And Gaia Girl is being taught to hear and to listen. And she is the perfect student. I've never known anyone as eager and as ready and as able as Gaia Girl is for this and at this moment. And  that I am witness to it is exhilarating.
And what is even more interesting is the fact that her teacher is good. Very good. A true purveyor of plants and herbs, providing a hands on approach in every sense of the word. She is a natural. This is not a class and she is not a teacher - It is transmission looking for a suitable vessel. And this is very exciting for me.
When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.
She is - it has.

I like that picture on the left. I struck me that it had the composition of a Vermeer.

Plants have invisible energy, I'm starting to realize. On occasion nowadays I talk to my plants and I'm even using them to practice seeing auras. I was really excited when I finally saw a wave of energy rising up from my schefflera plant!

I wouldn't let anyone see me talking to my plants, but after reading some articles about how talking to them might help them grow I really started to believe that there are things we just can't see with the eyes. I still want to watch "The Secret Life of Plants", too.

P.S. That mushroom reminds me of a whale's tail coming up out of the water.

TaoSpring - pallet chicken coop

-
Image
I had less than a month to build a suitable coop and chicken run. I had very little money to work with. Having seen many coops and out buildings that people have assembled using scrap pallets, I thought that I would give it a try. Starting with two 4 x 8 pallets as the floor, I assembled all the available pallets that I could find. This is the frame of the coop. It will measure approximately 8ft x 8ft. Saltbox style roof will be 9 feet at the front and will taper down to 8 1/4 feet in the back. My inspiration is drawn from the bottom photo   seen here. I varied the plans to accommodate the unevenness of available pallet size. In a perfect world a 4' x 4' pallet would make pallet building as easy as playing with Lego's. Unfortunately downsizing has effected everything. Most pallets now measure 48" x 40" and the solid 4' by 4' pallets are usually reclaimed by their owners. Oh, they're out there, but I am looking to build for as little

Seasons - garden update

This summer has been very unusual. But I've seen it all before. There are times that the seasons act according to form and there are times that they don't. There have been more days of rain and clouds than sunny summer days. In point of fact, we had warmer days in May. We got started rather late but as you can see things are progressing in spite of all the wet weather.

I hate bad news

Sunday morning......Saturday night was spent around the fire with about ten people, little scotch, little beer, good conversation, shrimp, cheese & crackers, sliced apple and smoked gouda. So, getting up this a.m. was a little difficult and then the phone rang. It was my oldest daughter. My niece's baby died. Her father was holding her on the couch and gave her a bottle at 11 p.m. When he awoke, she was beside him on the couch dead. They don't know if he slept on her and she smothered or died from natural causes. She was 2 months old. We don't see as much death in little children as we once did. We have very old cemetaries tucked in throughout New England with many little children, sometimes from the same family that died from disease. This kind of death is different. How does anyone deal with this? If it is ruled an accident due to smothering, how does the father manage? How does my neice ever be able to look at him? Damn, I hate bad news......
