AC: Sticks

One day a friend picked up two sticks

and 

began to balance one on top of the other

it was fun to watch

a bit like juggling

simple pleasures are so good

~

I hope you all have fun visting one another

DC: Prayer, Meditation, Still Point

they climbed the mountain 

body of the goddess

to sit in the rays 

of the rising sun

to sit
in 
the here now

our dear Ariane mentioned that this lovely spring flower

a yellow bell

is like a prayer

i so agree

like a prayer and a promise

Beyond the Log Cabin Walls: DC: Threshold

she stood at the threshold

before stepping out

feeling into the essence of the world

allowing her breath

to meet the sway of the trees

the depth and height of the mountains

her heart to beat 

to the song of the birds

felt her kinship with the world

and

she stepped out

it is lovely to be DC host this week

threshold

Doe a Deer, Announcing DC

doe a deer

Announcing DC for weekend of November 14-15

"deer"

not to be confused with dear

unless it is a 

dear deer

;-)

just one example of how confusing the English language can be!

~

something new:

please let me know in comment below that you would like 

to post something for 

"deer"

BUT, the new part:

come to my blog after your post is on your blog

and 

there will be a way for you to link your post through a 

"linky" thing

(i think it will make sense when you see it)

that way people know your post is up and ready to visit

does that make sense?

if not ask me questions

wishing you fun

thinking of deer this week

Next Weekends DC: Pollinators

tears of honey
~

With Spring here on this side of the earth

it is a great time to consider: 'Pollinators

Droege said “Almost all the fruits and nuts, and a lot of the vegetable varieties, that we eat require some insect—usually bees—for pollination,”  

here are some of our pollinators: bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, bats, ants, beetles, tiny rodents and more. So BIG Vast possibilities this week!

I saw my first butterflies of the year today! Two kinds, Mourning Cloak and an Compton Tortoiseshell:

also i found a tick on me, just walking around, did not bite me

I would say that Spring has begun!

let me know in the comments if you will post and share with us
March 28-29th

also, even though we call it Drawing Challenge
