beautiful story.

"i'm making the aquaintence of a dear man that wants me to travel with him in the seasons to come. so i may yet see the town of cebil myself, oneday. :)"

Did someone say......South American Convergence????????

Wow, sounds like some good experiences all around. Sorry to hear about the toxic salmon.. Derrick Jensen talked alot about the salmon, and dams. Something needs to be done about them.
The story about the stick and the crows sounds like something special was happening there! be interesting to hear if you have anything further happen involving crows and/or the stick.
I went for a jog with my dog yesterday morning around the fields near our house. I let her off leash and she loves to run full speed through the fields and try to dig up gophers in their holes. There's all kinds of high grasses where they haven't been mowed down to make hay. Milk thistles, mustard,.. unfortunately, something in the air gives me an allergic reaction. I don't let it deter me from getting outside though. I took big lungfulls of the pollinated air on my jog, thinking "oh well", but it made me cough and wheeze later in the day. Sneezing, runny noses, itchy eyes... that's what signifies June around here! ..but I'm not complaining.

Geesh...so much is swirling around this month...

Fresh spring spinach every week
Zucchini flowering
Peas peepin' up
Sharpshin hawk sitting on the deck
Eaglet feather found
nocturnal visits from raccoon brother/sister (?)
My red geraniums blooming
roses about to burst forth
Dylan leaving food offerings for the little racoon (sunflower seeds, strawberries, and cheetos)
watching Dylan be amazed at raccoon tracks (They're like little hand prints Memae)
Dylan looking for more animal tracks in the yard
Pleasant days and cool spring nights good for sleeping

i do. usually this time of year, is the 'wild oats' time of year - young crows make lots of noise, and mock fight alot. Kinda like the crow version of a high school football game. its also the best time to obtain feathers from crow - in the scuffles, some feathers do fly, lol

'I think crows are very important in what is happening right now, very active in helping something happen, though I don't know what yet.

I know they do ceremonies because I have seen them do them. ''


thats exactly how i feel. they are hearalding some upcoming radical changes. And yes, they do ceremonies. I have one on ones with mister crow at least 3-7 times a day. Crow has been protecting me lately.

i just remembered - the very first grown up book (book of words, not pictures) i picked out to read was "Old Mister Crow"

@chang noi- sometimes the old guys have to keep the youn uns in place every so often, or all chaos would break out, hee hee. But seriously, we have been communing so often that we are close, and spend time looking into each others eyes. There is something that knows me, and speaks to me, thru those glances.

Well had a killer frost already the grass is brown and the potato's died though the peas survived so it seems they've developed a frost tolerance. The milk cow is nice and fat with calf, and the meat heifer is ready for the freezer. Chickens are off the lay, but the Peking ducks have taken up the slack. I've successfully grown a new fodder for the cows plain old turnips. Onions, garlic, leek, carrot, spinach, beetroot, lettuce, broccoli , cauliflower and cabbage are absolutely cranking.

The native grass ants are busy collecting seed, and ploughing the pasture for free as it should be. Soil microbes and carbon are ever increasing in the soil, in return the grasses and legumes grow faster stronger, and stay greener for longer. I finally have neighbours, 5 Km down the road who are like minded as myself and partner, organic all the way.

2 years of phenominal seasons thanks to La Nina, bird species are migrating further inland, thanks to the great flood this year, the channel country has filled with life, and lake Ayre has filled up, which is a one in ten year event. This ultimately means more life giving rains.

A kangaroo and its joey said G'Day last evening, sat happily on the damn wall. A red belly black snake made an apperance in the heat of the day. MMMm life is great.

that is well said on behalf of the crows +Gumbo+

At the moment i admit i am asking the elements to wreak enough havoc to keep potential speculators at bay this weekend. nothing serious mind you. no need for anyone to get hurt. just a good heavy dramatic storm. strong enough to blow out the water intakes in the river and leave the valley without water for a several days (we're well used to this sort of thing here)

i really like my day. how you relate to others is very important. personally, and community wise. im getting near that ol' "rent time", with still, no 'concrete' job. I will have all my funds mid month, just not right this moment. so tonite, i came home, the landlady was trimming some dead flowers around my door, and i realized that for a small space, my commitments to others was fulfilled for the day. I then realized that i had really neglected just spending human time with her as a person. So i helped her trim, showed her my mans artwork, and talked about what we both wanted out of our new lives. I just told her where my finances were, and volunteered to be ninja warrior of the property and plant life.
The dear lady not only said she understood, but wanted a nice new life with a fresh and new tenant and person. And i could work, the yard needed it, and pay as i can in a week or so. On top of that, she offered me my own ground to use for my own gardening - not just fitting my plants in where i can. The tobbaco sprouts are out tomorrow, hee hee. She likes my dogs (she does not like dogs) and i caught her throwing that old tennis ball for my old dog, hee hee. We decided to set off fireworks and have a glass of wine the 4th of July together. I could think of no better thing. A great gratitude washes over me.
The last few weeks after moving, i kept having dreams of the Elk Clover plant i had planted new at my old house. It told me it wanted me to come dig it up, it wanted to move with me. I let it go - but it did not. so tonite after a class, my energy was high, and i just rode into the driveway of the neighbor there. I told her i dreamed that i needed to bring that plant with me. Without blinking, she said the workers were done for the day, and here is a shovel and tiner. So i went back, with calm balance, and freed him from the ground. there is some harvest of excess root, for my medicines. and a huge and viable clump ready to stay with me. I never experienced being aware that a plant would love me and prefer to live and move with me. So i am short on the rent, and i get offered a space to plant my friend. How can life be better? To have the relationship with a plant brother, that i would have with my own family. I am blessed.

And a valerian volunteered to go to the drying rack. some devils shoestring and grounding heart medicine. She rode home with us (me and the elk clover -(aralia californiaca) , on my bike. And a great peace and love descends.

love, peace and life to everyone. :) (Ren- "great harvest")

Aho, lots of love and light to you in this hard time.......
