The Rose Moon ~

Good Morning Friends & Folk ~

thanks for all of the comments and emails regarding yesterdays' posting ~ 
and the one from 2009…
my appt. went well ~ 
just need a stronger prescription to see what I'm doing ~ is all….
the Good Doctor and I have come to terms and now we seem to have a strange friendship.
{I've come to realize he & I share the same weird sense of humor…how scary.}

Today is Friday the 13th.
and a Full Moon.
a very special day indeed, as these two occurrences don't usually come together that often.
another strange friendship-of-sorts I guess…

Last night's partial-full moon was beautiful ~
a soft, rose-hued glow from above
accompanied by the murmur of cricket-song and dance of the fireflies….


just coming up...


through the trees ~
 the Colonial AMericans called this, the full moon in June, the Rose Moon ~
as this month most all of the roses are in full bloom.

...tonight is a perfect time to make some rosewater for your bath ;)


above the barn

we also had lightening last evening, 
sometimes the sky was bright, and then pitch black…

our farmhouse


the light above the farmhouse that looks like chimney-smoke
... is actually a lightening strike I caught with my camera ~

 This morning we woke to a foggy view of our home-place ~
everything was covered in dew,

...it looks as thought the garden spiders were very busy…
there are tiny webs everywhere:


billowing in the morning breeze


triangular shaped web


only about 3" across


silken threads


the shop garden is in it's wild and wonderful glory ~
being free to produce volunteers and left un-weeded while the shop is closed…
trying to allow my winter-traumatized herbs to regain strength ~ 

...did you lose any lavender or rosemary from the harsh winter we had??


gone wild

 Lazy & Roxy were out chasing rabbits this morning ~
{{they only chase them}}
and they came back sopping wet with dew and exhausted.


good friends

 here are just a couple random snaps for you ~


angel & daylillies


my swing and tree-friend

donkeys grazing

I am still stitching a bunch of tiny little houses on Cupboard Cloth ~
but am having a little difficulty seeing...
My new glasses should be ready next week ~
I'll share snaps of them then.

Enjoy the moon tonight my friends!!

* Blessed be *
 Lori

Beautiful photos of your farmhouse. The intricacy of the beautiful webs was awesome! Cute photo of the pups and love the crossed front paws.

Have a great Friday 13th, just the date will get your mojo working for new FALLoween designs for sure.

Beautiful photos, Lori! Yes, I did lose a rosemary this past winter, but my lavenders are thriving. I might just take your suggestion and make some rosewater...do you have a favorite recipe?

It is always so nice to visit your farm via the web...wish I knew you when I was on the East Coast...so I will have to be content with virtual walking around the farm. My Needle is Sharp arrived...I just love it and can't wait to stitch it.

Jane said...

Great pictures, as always! I was out moon-gazing, too. My gardens are loving this weather and looking wild, too. Heat and humidity are a good reason to cooly stitch inside!

Beautiful photo's.

Yes I lost all my lavender this winter... big old clumps that were more like small shrubs than plants...

Vicki Jo said...

Beautiful photos. Love those webs, they are so itricate. I do hate though when I walk through one of them. Makes me wonder where the spider is!!! Love Lazy and Roxy and the cute crossed feet. My Oni used to lay like that too and it always tickled me!!!! I roared at your eye doctor visit back in 2009. Oh my gosh I go in July, I'll be thinking of you. Those drops are killers!!!

hugs

Hi Lori, I need to tell you how much I admire you and all you do. My mornings are made when I check in and you have shared pics and/or words of wisdom. You are very special!
I am intrigued by "tiny little houses", will it become a pattern? I hope, hope, hope, love little houses!!! Enjoy your weekend and Happy Fathers Day to Peter! Debbie in IL
