Week three of planting, and things are coming along swimmingly (just like NJ, as we are getting another inch and a half of rain! Blech!).  Here's where we are at this week:One of the biggest excitements for me this year is the 72 calendula plants!  I have big plans for tinctures and salves with these babies!  They are really taking off and will need to go in little pots soon.Mr. B. has also been whipping up some compost tea for the garden!  What's compost tea, you ask? … [Read more...]

Lots of things happened this past week.  We went to see a great show in NY called The 39 Steps.  It was totally funny and the lighting and effects were just brilliant (mostly because Mr. B.'s friend is doing them, lol!)   It was great to go into the city, even though it was cold and sprinkling on and off!  We ate at Vinyl, a little cafe type place that is covered in music memorabilia.  They have unisex bathrooms with themes - Dolly Parton, Elvis, Nelly and Cher! … [Read more...]

Despite the cold, rainy beginning of this week, our little seedlings are still nice and warm under the grow light.  Though we have things that will eventually be sewn right in the garden, for now, everything that can be started in a pot is coming right along.  Well, almost everything.We have finally got a white sage sprout. Out of 8 seeds planted, only one has sprouted; he seems to be coming along well, though.  Got my fingers crossed that the others are just late … [Read more...]

Wow, it's been a heck of a week!  Let's see, what can I tell you about? First up, I had the most marvelous Ostara!  The wonderful ladies that I met through Witchvox and I did our first sabbat together!  The sun was shining, it was warm and sunny and gorgeous out (I ended up with my first sunburn of the season, lol!).  We had a great little ritual and a nice lunch together. It was just the perfect way to spend the first day of spring! Today the insurance adjuster comes to check out our … [Read more...]
