I woke up early, so I have a few minutes before I have to get ready for church...NOT!    Well, maybe MY church.  I'm going to take over an unused square in the back yard as my garden.  The flower/veggie garden in the backyard belongs to Alan and the girls.  I have a few containers with herbs in the front, but in this desert heat, I hve to water them everyday and they may already be root-bound.  Right now, the spot I'm going to take over is just hard-packed dirt.  Alan is going to run the rototiller thru it and then we'll go to the nursery for supplemental fertilizers and more plants, yea.  While we're there, I'll order some gravel for the side-yard.  We have the oleanders in and the space all cleared away so now, all that needs to be done is to lay a t arp for weed control and smooth gravel over it.  I'm also going to get a short arch--either rounded or squared on top (to represent the rune, Uruz--Strength, health, vitality, regeneration and effort) for the outdoor altar space I'm planning.  I thought I could train a vine over the squared or rounded "arch". 

I attended a rune class last night.  I loved it.  It's a series of classes that teaches the 24 runes of the Elder Futhark.  A little while ago, I bought some moonstone runes.  I LOVE them.  I'm finding that I'm really connected to moonstones.  I have a neclace with a moonstone triple moon pendant and now my rune set.  I adore the moon (hence my name, MoonSong).  I really need to find out all the properties of this stone.  I

I better head outside before it gets too unbearably hot.  Check in with all of you later and make my rounds.

Bright Blessings, All!
