When Life Gives You Lemons...



My lemonade is branching out.  I've mentioned lavender lemonade.  This weekend, I tried rosemary lemonade, which was surprisingly good and mild.  Visiting friends suggested both mint and cumin lemonades, so these will probably be next.  I'm loving the lavender, but I need to be harvesting most of it for my soaps, and eye and therapy pillows.  Plus, mixing it up keeps it interesting.


Not long ago, I mentioned a tufted titmouse landing in my hair.  And the sweetness of holding a yellow finch fledgling.  Putting on a pair of jeans this weekend, I found the beginnings of a birdnest in one of the pockets.  Being honored by all of this bird energy made me curious.  I  consulted Animal-Speak, which tells me birds have an ability to respond automatically to whatever presents itself, intuitively.  They can also teach us about lightness of being & air/breath.  Finch energy is about new experiences.  Interesting!



This weekend, I switched out all my summer/winter clothes and linens.  Flannel sheets are delightful when it's chilly, but I'm welcoming the return of crisp cotton sheets.  I planted a bachelor button mix this year, and am loving the deep purple one on the bottom right.  May it prosper and spread seed!  Have a wonderful week, friends!
