on the edge of the cloud

The storm is north of us at the moment, such dark clouds and over us, clear sky. Amazing and beautiful. It’s still now, but it has been quite breezy today. Doesn’t really feel like mid-June out there! I guess it’s ok that I am behind in the garden, the temperatures are kind of behind, too.

I have an art project that’s wanting my attention, so I guess I had better get at that. I am realizing that my blog deserves my attention too, so it’s a matter of portions.

good bye 2010

Looking forward to a quiet evening at home with my sweetie. We’ll have a nice dinner and maybe watch the movie I got us for Christmas. We haven’t even taken the shrink wrap off it yet!

I remember when we used to be excited about getting gussied up and going out to party on this night. We have matured and really like hanging out at home together.

Hopes for 2011, personal growth and expansion. Love. Abundance. Joy.

That’ll do for now.

I could do without the spam, people. Or is it from not-people automation? Regardless, I can do without.

lilac intoxication

Intensely dark sky, clouds race. Intoxicating fragrance of lilacs. Wine of the air.  Birds swoop in the wind and darkening day. I ran out to take a few photos and  got back to the house just before the rain and strengthening winds. Spring.

Perhaps I will get some garden planted this weekend. I have finished my current  art project, just have to get it to the framer asap and then I can think about what  to work on next.

I also have some homework to attend to for the Healing Key Way class I am  taking. Planning what days I can dedicate to mediation on circle… then daily…

It will be good, very good.

Workin’ on it…

I have been taking a wonderful series of classes at the Radha Yoga Center in Spokane. Inquiring within. Learning about myself, sharing with others who on similar quests of self discovery. All the teachers have been kind and skillful guides to the process. I look forward each week to the work we will do together.

The weather finally seems to be turning toward spring. The plums are in bloom and quite beautiful. Time to plant the garden.

I have been collecting findings and beads to make earrings for a while now. Making some pretties to match the necklaces I have made in the past. New skills to learn. They are fussy and fun at the same time. I know I will enjoy wearing totally unique jewelry to work and ’round about.

Weekends can be consumed with craft projects, walks with the doggos and such. Oh yeah, and the incredibly mundane laundry, dishes, dusting, feeding the wood stove and all that. Time flies by and the moon rises.

I’m thinking I would like to redraw the symbols I did in my yoga reflections class last week, the paper didn’t take the color as well as I would like. The internal debate is accept them as they are or make them again on paper that has some jazz…

Dry, Sunny, Cold

Here it is the 11th of October. The predicted rains haven’t materialized here in the past few weeks and so it is very dry and unseasonably cold. Beautiful, breezy cold.

The 11th was Grandma Owen’s birthday and Jerry’s dad, Lyman’s as well as being godson Jesse’s 22nd birthday. Pretty special day, I would say.

Thinking about harvesting the white grapes for juice now that the frosts have concentrated the sugars. Yum!
I don’t feel badly if I don’t get to them because I have seen honey bees making a late harvest from their juice as well. I always leave some for the insects and birds to enjoy also.

Best get my snippers and get to it!

Rainy First Day of Summer

It has rained off and on all day and is cool enough that a little fire in the wood stove feels pretty good. Hot coco is going down well.

The dogs are happy to be in on the couch. They have to share with me, I have drawing to do!
The photo is of flying Max. Leaping in and out of the wheat.
I ran a few errands in town, always amazes me how much time a simple errand takes. Four stops to find the fixture I need for the upstairs bathroom. Not looking for anything fancy, either! Maybe fancy would be easier to locate.
I have to have several book marks, because I always have multiple books going. I read something that sticks in my head, but not which book it’s from. That’s why the bookcases are overflowing, I might need to read them again.
Some books, like something by Dion Fortune or Schwaller de Lubicz, I definitely need to read again because they are entirely different books each time I encounter them.
The roses are dripping, the peonies fade in the rain. I think I can hear the grass growing taller.
I am glad we haven’t cut much hay yet. It’s a sure fire way to get it to rain, it seems. Well, it’s good for the wheat what isn’t so good for the hay.
Solstice blessings one and all.

Exciting for me and maybe a little fun

I am very excited to be sharing a little of my work with the community of the web.

I jumped on a chance to share my work on the gallery hosted by this site, Evolutionezine. It felt like a good fit and the right time to do it. Check it out when you have the time. I hope that you see something that recalls a memory that is dear to you, or makes you smile a bit. A little more light in the day, that works for me! http://evolutionezine.com/judy-mcmillan/

Also, some of the same images and maybe a couple that are different here:
