| In my backyard there is a stump, the rear of the stump is empty and hollow, today when I peeked in I found this lovely oak leave trapped in a spiders web...how clever Mother is! |
I I do just adore Mother Nature and all her offerings do you know that I begin every day standing in awe of Mother Nature and Father Sky. Well yes I do, in my garden arms reached to call the quarters and speak of my daily gratitude and to intend Peace for all the world and it's inhabitants
~ this weekend I was fortunate enough to share those feelings with like minded students.
Our teacher is Susan Clements a very energetic, enthusiastic and compassionate woman who eagerly passes along the information she is so full of!!
Last spring we gathered together for the first time and began our walks in the woods and lessons in Susan's house we shared and learned from Susan and one another. Yesterday was a culmination of the first part of this class and here are some of the products we were completing!
No ~ not really I am just having fun, Deb was our label maker.
Jen and Pat were squeezers
While Susan and I poured!
There was no doubt
We giggled when we tasted those YUMMY cordials!!
Peach Ginger... and Lime Tequila

Afterwards we took off to the woods to see if we could find and identify some mushrooms, mostly hen of the woods!
Susan leads the way with Pat by her side...
A moment of surprise for the students
Susan is awarding them their crescent moons!
As Susan's teacher Rosemary Gladstar has done for her students, our teacher has passed on the tradition they were surprised and so excited, what a wonderful tradition to witness!
I am very proud to be the Apprentice Assistant!
Beaming Jen and Pat
Patricia spots some of those mushrooms we are supposed to be finding.. only thing is this is a digital zoom and now we have to trek there to see if we can find them!
WELL
we do..
and DEB wants to go out onto the stick to get them.. only Susan says "NO"!
It's Deb's anniversary and Susan doesn't want anything to happen to her, after all her husband of many years is taking her out to celebrate!!
Some of our other woodland findings were
Wintergreen
and Squaw vine!
