E - V - E - R !!!!!   :()

I've been busier than a BumbleBee lately...
which is why I haven't posted much around
here, but I wanted to pop in today and let
you all know I've not fallen off the face of
the planet yet, lol.

I've actually been helping my Sister/Friend
Grandmother Tonya Whitedeer out on her
blog, Sisterhood of the Planetary Water Rites.
Today I was blessed by a gift from her...which
is so perfect for me...it is the book "Other
Council Fires Were Here Before Ours." 
This is a Classic Native American Creation
Story as Retold by a Seneca Elder, Twylah
Nitsch, and Her Grandaughter Jamie Sams
whom many know and love.  I'm really looking
forward to reading and digging my way through
it.  Pilamaya Yelo Grandmother Whitedeer!!!

I've also been busy with family and friends,
yakking on the phone catching up with online
friends, visiting blogs and reading, sometimes
leaving comments and sometimes not depending
on what is happening in the moment in my own
little world.  I've also been cleaning out my
computer files, household paper work, baking
batches of cookies in off moments to share
with everyone, cleaning the hacienda and deck,
chanting and drumming for rain, dancing in said
rain and laughing with joy over it.  I also woke
up yesterday, after a storm moved through over
night, to find things blown about outside, so I
put things back in place, came in to start my
computer up and found my modem wouldn't
work so I had to call my service provider and
get that up and running again.  Thankfully, the
strong storm that moved through which had lots
of sky to ground lightening did not strike my
modem.  Talk about grateful!!!!  It was a light
show to behold...I watched for a bit then
crawled back into bed.  We ended up getting
enough rain to bring some green back into the
grasses outside and I could hear the plantlife
breath and sigh, AHHHHHH!  We are supposed
to get more rain showers this week but I am
not waiting for them, I will be chanting and
drumming more.

Later today I am going to make up some corn
bread for Lammas and gift it to Mother Earth
this evening, and her beautiful wild creatures.
I need to find a homemade cornbread recipe.

I have no special plans for Lammas/Lughnasadh,
do You?  I think simplicity is the key for me
this year.

Well, as I said above, I wish for you the most
Sacred, Bountiful, Abundant, Meaningful,
Astounding Day E - V - E - R, and I mean that
from deep within!

Radiant and Cascading Blessings to All and
Merry, Merry Lammas/Lughnasadh!!!

A'HO!
