Walking with my Goddess

Cow Parsley From My Nature Photo Challenge So, I was rather happily having one of those quiet Goddessing weeks, just pootling along with my camera, happily and quietly muttering away to myself, staring thoughtfully into the local countryside looking either fey or deranged - dependant on your own personal opinion, which suited me just fine. Over the last few week I have been floating around on a serene cloud of love for all around me. I was planning on blogging about the nature photos I had taken as part of a week long facebook challenge by a friend, nice and easy. Nope, should have known, Goddess had other ideas for me and the chilled lazy next few days I had planned.

The corn field that became a bean field, has become a

Outside Beltane Altar Blessed Beltane to you All!  As you may have noticed I'm tinkering with a slightly different format time wise at the moment so please bear with me!  Phew - what a busy few weeks in general and a particularly hectic weekend  for Beltane. We started off on Saturday with a long overdue trip to the allotment - to tidy up and dig the beds over again.

As well as that we had psyched ourselves up to dig out a new big border that we had previously treated with a natural mulching plant, allowed to die down and covered over to put some goodness back into the ground. This new bed may only be about 10 feet by 12 feet but it felt like an acre!  Not for first time I felt the combined force of  Beltane Eve Fire generations of ancestors shaking their heads with mirth at my huffing and pu
