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 *
