Just a quick check in, I'm still here! Gathering up the potions and spells for this Halloween season.
See you soon!

I am not a farm girl, nor even a country girl--but a woods girl, with lichen for skin and leaves gracing tangled hair. I am old as the hills. The elders called me "dryad". If you blink you may miss me. But if you sit quietly under the old oak, I may one day appear for you.

Winter solstice!
Welcome to the shortest day of the year! Hopefully this marks the beginning of the end. This year has been something. Looking forward to a new year and a fresh start.
Tomorrow we're expecting a bit of snow. Or more than a bit. I suspect I'll be staying over at work due to unsafe driving conditions later on.
Saturday I made pomanders. It's my first attempt, so naturally it isn't Martha Stewart. But an attempt was made. 🙂
Stay warm, stay safe, and stay you.
Aye,

Lammas
Spent lughnasadh afternoon wandering around the woods behind the house. I gathered some of the various grasses growing on the hill and found a couple four leaf clovers to press in my book. Time to reflect on what I have accomplished this past year. Managed to get a semi decent paying job (yay!) but having issues paying medical bills (booooo!) . Got to move up to the upstairs bedroom (wheeee...) but it gets bloody hot in the afternoons (and no A/C...blargh!). Going to be attempting to go to school in the spring (somewhat apprehensive), but only if I can get financial aid (waiting on a reply currently.)
At the moment I am watching the growing darkness from my window. It was storming pretty good earlier, so I had to mostly close the window. Still got enough of a crack though, to let some of the cool breeze in. Tomorrow will be spent NOT being at work.
Hoping you all out there have managed to get a lot accomplished, pick up a skill or two.
Aye,

Don't worry, I am still here ;)
No, I haven't disappeared.
It has been a long, long strange year since I last posted. But now I am far and away from where I was, out of the godforsaken south and just awaiting on spring. Although that may take a little longer here in the middle of the country.......
Suffice it to say I have not forgotten you all, and plan on updating a little more frequently now that I am in my new place, new job, new friends. Of course, they don't know about my affinity for dancing in moonlight and lighting candles at certain times of the year. I suspect I will have to keep that private, at least for now.
New photos, posts, etc, coming soon!
Be well!

Happy Holiday Seasons!
Also made a new friend. she snuck in with the greenery and promised to stay out of trouble over the winter. Personally I think she would have blended in better with the holly (her wings are holly leaves) but it still took a bit for me to notice.
As I write, a winter storm rages outside. Or as close to one as we usually get here--mostly rain with maybe a touch of ice mixed in. All part and parcel with winter here. The folks north and west of us are getting more than their fair share of it.
Looking forward to Imbolc coming up... although I am a bit divided whether to start seeds or not. Since I don't know where I will be come growing season. The Roomie is trying to talk me into planting tomatoes again. You gonna take care of them if I leave, big boy?? Thought so.
Stay tuned!

Getting windy in here....
You wrote, which was nice, been a while since anyone had bothered.
But then you wrote again. And again. And again..... each email sounding pretty much the same, which made me wonder, perhaps, just perhaps, he has even less of a personal life than I do. So I attempt normal conversations, normal channels, and yet here come more emails... of long winded nothingness. I fail to understand it. Are you for real? Do people really write stuff like this in their daily lives, and expect a response in kind? Do you think that "oh I am so mysterious, here, let me expound for HOURS how smart I am" attitude is supposed to get you somewhere? Still scratching my head over that one.
The last one you sent was the best. You asked me how I am. Which is nice of you, thank you. I currently have a belly full of chili and am looking at the Christmas lights on my dresser.My roommate just dared me to down an airplane bottle of "Fireball" (I'm not a huge drinker, but that stuff is okay...) My feet are cold, but that's pretty much normal for me. How's you?
But then you indicate not to bother replying. So I don't.
I had a giggle at the "lady" remark though. As much as I admit to being female, at no point have I ever called myself a "lady" or "ladylike". Any more than I really called you a "pompous asshole" ( I said I didn't associate with them. I didn't name names... does the shoe fit? Sensitive much??)
But whatever. You like quotes? Here is one for you.
"I don't need to tiptoe around the ego of some fat squarehead with an ego the size of a small bus route..."
--R.A. McAvoy, "The Book Of Kells"
I have given you "the last word", mainly because I have pretty much lost interest. I said several emails back you were beginning to bore me, that would have been the time to stop.
...........5 emails later, you're still at it.
Have a nice life. Alone, from the sound of it.
I will be here, as I have always been.
At any rate, Winter Solstice is right around the corner, and I can hardly wait. The lights are all all up, and I am preparing to go see the little one in a couple of weeks. We're expecting a big snow/ice storm next few days. It will be interesting to see how this turns out--photos to follow :)
I may even be able to dance under the moon, in the coldness of the stars.
Stay tuned!

Brace yourself...
.....Samhain is coming......
no, that wasn't meant to be a "GoT" reference. Never watched it, don't plan on it.
But, you know it's that time of year. they come out of the woodwork... you know the ones.
"Halloween is a Satanic holiday so we will just have a harvest party!"
*smirk*
In other news, I dug out the glue gun today, first time in a long time. I needed to put some horns together to go with my faun years. I think I set them a little too high on the headband.
Oh, well. it's a start.
Hopefully my boss will cooperate and give me a weekend day off to go to the renaissance faire.
Keep your paws crossed.
