Shedding Treasures

The candle is one I made after a long break from making candles with treasures found in an old shed that had collapsed, these treasures being a plastic mold, wax and wax dye.

Cold Returns

Yup, the cold has returned, at least for a day or two or three. The nights are cold and dropping below freezing and there are a few plants I have covered in an effort to keep them green and growing when it warms up again in a few days. There are actually wind chill readings today although it is sunny and looks warm throug the window.

'Tis the Season

Well flood season is upon us once more here in the Minnesota River Valley. Looking out my kitchen window, I can see water where just yesterday or the day before there was river bottom and fairly dry ground there is water.

Perhaps once I get my trusty JamCam up and running again I will be able to photo journal this years season. Only time will tell.

Second Day of Rain

Here we are into the second day of rain here. We do need the rain and I am not complaining a bit. It did clear up enough for me to take a 4 mile bike ride yesterday but it doesn't look like it is going to clear up that much today. No worries there, I have most of what needs to be planted by now, planted plus some unexpected garden treats.

In the apartment building where my friend lives, there also lives a wonderful lady who is so very wise to the ways of nature. She grows coneflowers all about and I think I shall always remember her as "The Coneflower Lady". She let me have some coneflower heads so that I can start my own in my little flower bed. In return I am getting her some willow whips and willow sticks. This exchange felt so natural and good and just the way it should be.
