A Wee Wet Adventure

It has been raining for days

and although we have had some sunny patches in between,

the general feel of June, right now, is raw and wet.

And thanks to all this wetness, I think I have inadvertently started a mushroom farm in the garden, they are sprouting up everywhere in droves!!!

So I decided to embrace the wetness.

I took the pups out for a much needed little adventure this morning.

It is no longer raining (for the moment at least), but it sure is soggy!

It was quiet and peaceful, and everything looks lush and happy...

Now I am going to start getting things together and ready to pack in the car for the art fair I am doing tomorrow, maybe I will work on a couple new things as well...

What do you like to do on a rainy day?

Labels

Hand sewing my new homemade labels into the new hand-dyed indigo scarves

and getting ready for the Beverly Farmers' Market tomorrow afternoon.

What are you up this fine evening?

Adventures wild harvesting red clover

The other day I decided to collect some red clover blossom (and a little yarrow & rosa rugosa) that grows in the pasture leading to one of the beautiful, little, private beaches in the area.

It was Mu's first experience with tall grass and let me tell you, she was quite the ham hopping to a fro' through the field! Purely comical!!!

Veda was also enjoying the grass by having many grand rolls and snarfing out loud. Then it was on to the beach for a little cool down.

I am thankful for the beautiful day, I a thankful for the beautiful environment around me, I am thankful for the plants I harvested and I am thankful for some pretty stinkin' cute pupparoos!

...

A few places I am visiting today

and soaking up the beauty being shared.

All Good Things

Today is beautiful out.

Today I am thankful for sunshine and fresh air.

Today I think I will take the pups for a nice walk downtown.

Today I am thankful for the ability to create.

Today I finished one of my sweaters that I have been working on and am blocking it as we speak.

Today I am one day, one step closer to achieving my goals and my dreams coming true...

And these are all good things.

What good things are going on around you today?

Exploration.

We have begun our exploration.

We spent some time in Maine this past week, visiting with my sister and her boyfriend (and meeting their new dog, as well as seeing their new place). We also were scouting out areas we would like to possibly relocate to and shops that might like to carry Little Owl jewelry and scarves.

I think we have decided that we both LOVE the Brunswick area.

So, I have been somewhat preoccupied with that.

(Side note, none of these photos are from Maine.
It seems I was too busy driving around and enjoying myself to remember to take photos!)

In other news, it is hot as the dickens.

This is after the extended weekend of raw, rainy weather.

Let me tell you, I hate being hot, and as much as I love to jump in the cold ocean (and I did jump in yesterday), I hate sleeping in air conditioning or sweltering heat. So I am trying to make the best of this "beautiful" weather.

We have been working in the garden some and I was able to wild harvest a large handful of red clover for tea today. Aren't they beautiful? Such a marvelous "weed"!!! Let me tell you, never underestimate weeds. They are some of the most powerful healers. This includes dandelions especially. It is a terrible thing, all this spraying to get rid of them!

Today we are going to a Birthday party for a 5 year old.

Star Wars themed.

Totally awesome!!!

And with that I will leave you with this last photo of the beautiful light this morning out on the path leading out of the back yard.

Enjoy your day all you wild birds!
