Sunday pictures and fun

Yesterday I decided it was time to clean off my roof. I raked off the branches and leaves and then moved down to the gutters. The gutters were full of great compost! :D The leaves and branches, and nut shells (pecan tree) fall into the gutter and pile up. It rains and then the stuff in my gutters turns into compost. lol I got quite a few pounds of nice rich compost from my gutters and put them in a container. (I talk about this in Episode 28 of the iPod Witch)

I mowed some lawn yesterday and went out and looked at my new plants. I planted potatoes, pumpkins, sunflowers, assorted flowers, and checked on my Bee Balm. Everything is looking so nice! I have pictures of the pumpkin plants at my flickr:

With the pumpkin picture, I also have one view from my roof, and some Crow pictures from the park. I also have a cute little squirrel and a picture of my most important piece of jewelry! Enjoy. :)

Mmmm, Spring like weather and days of joy!

Sunday and Monday were simply beautiful! I spent several hours each day in the sunshine on a blanket in my yard. Tuesday there was rain, so there was no blanket for me! Thursday I was out there again. I love this time of year. The weather was so warm and nice. The best part? NO mosquitoes yet! Whee! lol I can lay out and enjoy the sounds and smells of nature without being eaten alive!

I put my blanket on the ground near my pecan tree. The bird feeder is under the tree and I was about 15 feet away from the bird feeder, so I had a good view of all the little birds coming to eat.

I laid back and looked up at the sky through the pecan tree. This is what I saw:



Pretty view eh? It will be even prettier this summer when the pecan tree has it's leaves again. I'm looking forward to that! :)

Mmmm, I want to be outdoors again!

Yesterday was beautiful! I spent most of the day in my yard enjoying it. I did some yardwork and then just sat in my swing for a while. Later, I got out a blanket and put it in the grass and laid on it under my pecan tree. It was sooo nice out there. Saturday I mowed most of my yard in preparation for Beltane tomorrow. I wanted my yard as neat and as pretty as possible. It should be nice enough to have my Beltane circle outside tomorrow. Whether the neighbors are around is another thing altogether! I guess I'll see how it goes. I know I will spend time in the yard in the afternoon tomorrow. If I have to have circle inside, so be it. ^_^

Beautiful Day

It was nice outside today. It was in the lower sixties and sunny. I went outside to enjoy the nice day and commune with nature. It was really nice sitting in the swing and enjoying the sun and the light breeze!

Nature...

I went out today to spend some time in nature. It would have been wonderful except for one thing. Mosquitoes. ~_~; They were trying to eat me alive. I need to go to my local Witchy shop and get some skeeter spray. They have a great homemade spray there made by a friend of mine. I'm friend's with the owners. He is a Shaman and she is a Witch. They are both really wonderful people. I get most of my Wiccan supplies there.

I wish I had the gas to go out there tomorrow. They have Tarot readings on Monday. The readings are given by Jane (another Witch and friend). I haven't been since she started doing readings. If I don't go tomorrrow, I'll try next Monday. :*)
