picture summer....day 3.

day 3 assignment....center your subject...symetry.

"She"

my soul sisters rose and kathy and i went to the shores of mille lacs lake and did ceremony.

this is a crystal known as a lingam.

her nick name is "She".

ceremony and then some....

my soul sister kathy and our friend cathy and i went on a venture up to the north shore of lake superior 2 weeks ago to do some earthwork.  we were guided to iona beach just north of gooseberry falls.  we were to assist those indigenous beings who were wishing to transcend their current dimension into a lighter space....there was a message of accceptance,forgiveness and honoring.  we were certain we each held a piece in our own being that would play a part in this work.

 our original date we were planning on going was june 4th....but were told, as we knew, time and space were irrelavent and a date after would be acceptable.  on this particular date (juen 4th) cathy was in lake tahoe with jim self http://www.masteringalchemy.com/ participating in a ceremony he was hosting.  we chose to go 10 days later.

i had a knowing that i would again meet up with my "poccahantis people" and they would assist me.

and...as affirmation i spotted this carved statue when we stopped for directions...i do not remember the artist...but the inscription and description wrote that it was a tribute to those native americans who once walked the land freely before....he planned on creating one for every state in the USA in their honor.

once at the beach we immediately were drawn to the "pink" side.  iona beach is unique as it is divided by a cliff....one side of the cliff has a "pink" beach and walls....and the other side is "black".

after a few moments we were guided by the seagulls as to where we were to perform ceremony.  they continued to fly in circles over an area and that is where we chose.

as i was walking to this area i spotted several small stacked rock formations....one that i have made in the past....and left behind for another to experience.

....another affirmation that this was the location.

we made a sacred medicine circle around these stones and added our own objects before beginning.

during ceremony we faced the lake...and i was guided to look farther left down the shore....i did....and there was another small stacked rock formation....i began walking towards it...and cathy intuitively walked to the right and we formed a triangle...all 3 of us noticing there was a large circle depression in the center of our triangle.  we continued to collectively work with our hearts open.

many images and emotions were seen and felt as we understood we were acting in service and love.

it was a beautiful ceremony.

afterwards, we sat on the beach and watched the sky fall and the fog roll in out of nowhere.  we each went our separte ways to BE.

i meandered over to the cliff where i tossed quartz crystals into the deep water crevice...where the water flows green.  then to the "black" side of the beach to meditate and revisit my native american people.

i decided to walk along the grass path thru the wooded area where i was blessed by beautiful old birch trees..

guardians of the path...

and

the many branches with moss and fungi growing on them.

mmmmmm.....i so love the world of moss and fungi....they are worlds withIN a world.

after exploring, being and enJOYing i found a wooden stairwell before walking back up to the car.

i love paths...even when they are wooden.

they lead to the most amazing places.

both

physical

and

etheric.

all

are

ONE.

work....

i play/work in this garden....

it is one of 3 in this particular "job".

these are my co-workers in this garden....the spirea bushes, black~eyed susans and native grasses.

ummm....i have a love affair with black~eyed susans...it is a personal thing....and i am so happy they are joining me.

did i mention the very large boulders...we get along fabulous.

mmm...such strong energy and eye pleasing also ~*~

but the birch trees in the 2nd garden are by far my favorite co-workers.

i love to be underneath them while tidying up their feet.

they create a fairy glen...and space for the non~physical...

we have many conversations together here.

...and their leaves speak in the wind of gypsee and traveling...

freedom

mmmmm.....i am a gypsee with the freedom to travel as i wish.

i love my work ~*~

my co-workers and i create beauty.

it is what i do.

crosby farm park hopping.....

deep, deep, deep into the forest my friends rose (right), kathy (left) and i went....

on a nature walk and park hopping experience.

the forest is lush and dreamy and magical and i really just wanted to lay down in the middle of it and let mother earth hug my lovely~self.

but we kept walking ~~~~>

until we reached the river....the mississippi river to be exact.

my eye wandered ~~~>~>>~~>

i love the rocks pressed in the sand....

the mix of shapes, colors and sizes.

mmmm.....and the sand in itself is dreamy.

we stayed for 2 hours down by the river.

catching up with eachother

enjoying the warmth of the sun,

acknowleging

how grateful we each were

to be our true selves

no illusions...

and

laughing

and

just

being.

no worries..

no cares...

we just

were.

until we WERE

hungry

and had to go eat thai food ~*~*~~

house~sitting continued........

i just returned from my 5 night 6 day house~sitting experience....
mmmmmm....it was so fascinating to watch life unfold from a different space....but i quickly realized it was from my "own" space....one separate from another's. 
i love my own space.

non~the~less...

my friend cathy has a quiet restful home.

and i was so fortunate to be able to be in it.

her decor would be similar to mine...

fairies....

and so many "things" from the natural world.

it was very easy to be in my "own" while

in her energy.

her bed....

divine and lush and welcoming.

i dreamed

fabulously.

note the statue in the window

a naked woman

i love naked women statues.

feminine

and i will leave it at that.

i spent most of my free time lounging with a book....serpent of light...on her balcony.

if not reading...i was admiring the scenery (see earlier post).

with pansy faces

smiling

at

me.

thank you cathy.

i really enjoyed

your

space

and the many

gifts it brought me.

Pamela

house~sitting.....

i am 3 days IN~to house~sitting for my girlfriend cathy o.  i love the exterior of her townhome....especially the rocks. 

 

she lives at the end of her street....there is a balcony off her livingroom facing the parking lot.

but...

this is what i look at.

a

beautiful

mockorange bush in

full bloom.

it smells divine.

i love how it looks from the ground also.

especially how it softens the stones.

when i am not admiring the mockorange.

i enjoy this bush...

i have no idea the name of it.

it doesn't matter.

it glows at sunrise and sunset.

ohhhhhh!  but look at this beautiful tree....

again

no idea the name of it...

and really...

does it matter?

the blooms smell delicious.

and the bees love them too.

Pamela

moonlight oasis....

this is my garden space this summer....

it needs a little help

some love

color

and alot of

something~something...

but perfectly perfect

i have never been much of a container gardener....something about growing beauty in pots has eluded my master green thumb.

in the ground? no problem.

in a pot? a problem.

the challenge:  to container garden this summer and to make the above a moonlight oasis.

did i mention on a VERY small budget

AND

a container garden?

(obviously the container part is the challenge)

i better get started...

ohhhhhh!

this looks like a perfect place to start.

mmmmm....color and flowers and dirt and

so many OPTIONS.

i am so excited i can hardly stand it.

the nursery = a gardener's candy store

my selection to start with...

ummm...i have about 2 feet of sunlight to work with...and the rest shade.

my moonlight oasis is in shade.

i have always gardened in full sun and minimal shade.

shade gardening = new adventure

~*~

i am starting with the sun section as it is the BONES of the garden.

note the pond in the background....a built in au natural garden.

i want to make that my focal point.

and...oh i am so happy to have my frog birdbath to look at in my

moonlight oasis.  the frogs here are amazing to listen to at night.

very LOUD and clearing.

they are my favorite gift from the pond.

look at these beauties ~**~*~*~*~

rocks from lake superior's north shore...grand marais to be exact.

a little souvenier from a vacation last summer.

these are going to be my stepping stone path to the pond.

~*~***~*~*~*~*~*~~

to be continued...

bliss....

may you never miss the beautiful scenery along your own personal path~~*~~

peace,

day 95....365 project

it is the urge of the sun

to keep all things alive....

mmmm....even the thistle growing in~between the boulders.

church....

i went for a walk on sunday morning.....most people go to church....i do too....mine is in nature rather than in a building.....and usually i have my camera in hand to capture what brings a feeling of beauty, gratitude and joy in my~lovely~self....and often times i can often find a simple story or message in my experience...

my neighbor children have been busy over the last several months building this "rock castle".  it is tucked away behind some trees...i love looking for it when i start out on my walk....wondering if they have added to it again.  FINALLY i am photographing it.  it has grown ever so slowly....a very nice "zen castle".  i love stacked rocks and could sit forever looking at the colors, sizes and textures of the rocks....but i would imagine they would wonder why the new neighbor lady is sitting on the sidewalk staring at their yard and rock castle.  thank you neighbor children....for unknowingly offering someone something to look forward to on any given day....it puts a smile on my face everytime i see it.

this is where i sat in church today....i wrote about dandelions in a previous post....it was the perfect seat....on a hill over looking this....

mmmm....it was a windy day and the wind had much to say....i just sat in silence and listened....noticing how peaceful and calming the scenery was....and on occasion i would ponder....oh look...there is a crabapple tree blooming...if the wind was blowing in the other direction i could catch the scent....i love the scent of crabapples in the spring...and where are those geese i saw earlier swimming around...and the cattails are waving in the wind...i wonder if when they grow in if the old brown ones are still visible behind the waves upon waves of green...and i wonder if the algae starts to smell in the dead of summer....and wow this is a perfect place to be on a sunday spring morning...then i realized....

i live in the country again....

discoveries....

last week i walked thru my former garden and had the most fun discovering what is saying hello....

oh! hello chocolate mint growing in~between the bricks inside the pavillion....

you are always so cute and perfectly placed...

mmmmm....i love how you smell up close...all chocolate~y...and can we talk bricks?  i love the bricks....all old and weathered...and multicolored...and perfectely not perfect....

....and good morning columbine...you are always one of my favorites...i will save that for another time....but.....your red stems look fabulous next to your blue/green leaves...

mmmm.......hostas....

 

hostas + light = warmth, joy, peace, beauty, perfection and all is right in the world....

....hidden treasures....

...and pebbles with a stray seedling....i am especially fond of the pebble with the stripes.
