Blessed Beltane

Hip hip Hurray - the First of May
It's absolutely beautiful outside today!

The prayers and invocations I said while planting the garden seem to be helping. Despite the surprise April snow and freezing nights of early spring, everything is thriving.

The sunflowers are almost 3 inches tall and the beans are beginning to appear. The tomatoes are growing robust and the baby lettuces each have several leaf clusters, albeit there still less than 1 inch tall.

The Chicks are growing by leaps & bounds. Happily they are getting less and less skittish when I appear. The Ameraucanas are the most mellow, they seem to like to be held. This weekend I moved the chick's box off the dryer and into the Hen House, they adjusted just fine.

Today I'm watering the garden and ground-covers. It's time to weed the little pathway in the veggie garden - a great way to give "the girls" their first taste of fresh greens!

Blessed Be,
Julie Epona
