    As I left my car,

    DD said 'Happy Imbolc Eve,

    Best day to plant seeds'

    ------------------------------------

    Too much yesterday,

    busy with company as well,

    didn't plant my seeds.

    -----------------------------------

    I will plant today

    and hope that its still okay,

    honour her beliefs.

    --------------------------------------

    Kathy, thanks so much,

    you are kind to think of me,

    I think of you too.

    The Longest night is

    Her favourite day so we

    All celebrate too

    ------------------------

    Her friends and my friends

    All get together, burn sage,

    Burn notes, welcome new.

    ------------------------

    On with boots and coats 

    And then we walk round my house

    Chanting or singing

    Each lights a candle

    On the yule log, then fire it

    And watch it burn down.

    --------------------------

    Guests learns why they are special

    To the others there

    ----------------------------

    We cook lovely soup

    We make candles from scratch too

    The countdown is on

    39 days until Spring

    Welcome equinox!

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    ((mouse)) hope you're less fatigued today.

    Monica & Red, lovely and eloquent poetry!

    Today they found a stolen 5 day-old WI baby, alive and bundled up but abandoned by his kidnapper outside a gas station in Iowa.  He'd been outdoors overnight in subzero temps.  Miracles do happen!  ♥

    Ok. Winter poem before we think of spring. (yes, I have written one for each season LOL ) 

    Stark tree standing

    amidst the dreary white

    Grey days commanding

    With no end in sight.

    _

    Deep in Winters heart

    A frozen tableau waits

    Seeds need warmth to jumpstart

    Their journey to the fates.

    ___

    Between the mounds of snow

    Cold seeps deep into the bones

    Memory draped in Summers glow

    Warms the soul from cold hard stone.

    ___

    And though it's said the seasons feared

    By one and all - tis true!

    When noses run and eyes are teared

    And Spring is not in view!

    ___

    As all things, the seasons flow

    And Winter is soon past

    Brighter times will conquer foe

    When Spring arrives at last!

    Thanks Monica. He's in a better place and I'm sure he's happy to see mom again. I am especially sad for my children's loss of their gpa. And for the loss my ex is going through - it's his dad. Although, I've known him since I was 13, so it seems like he was my dad too.

    Red, i knew my MIL for as many years as my Mother, as she died when I was 39 and my MIL died when my DH and I were married 39 years. So yes, I get it! 

    Oh have to share my DH pic if part of his drive in to work. He stopped to take this pic from across the road. Lots of snow this year near 2 rivers.....

    -------

    i was so impressed

    by how she believes that food

    is a medicine.

Minus, didn't forget you, just forgot what's going on with you! LOL.  

    To all on this board, regulars and those who pop in or lurk , Much Love!

    Got tattooed today

    It hurt my tender boobies

    I cried, felt stupid. 

    --------------------------

    I know it's for good

    I sometimes feel invaded

    But health will come soon

    ----------------------------

    So soon it will start, 

    Daily rounds, radiation, 

    So cancer will die.


    A bit morose today, those tats hurt!!! I didn't expect that. And I get to hold the weirdest position in the history of radiation and hope they don't smash my elbow on the machine. Silly boobs - they do like to spread when I'm on my back...right out of the radiation field. So I'm canted up and rolled rightist and my arm is lying 8 inches up and forward on stirrups. The stupid neck pillow is the worst - I can see headaches by the end of the week, for sure.

    Hugs to Red! {{{{{{((((((((Red)))))))}}}}}}}}

    I'm sorry they hurt. Did they do your mold yet? That might help you. I feel for you red. Maybe try a small bag of lavender during tx? To relax you? I'd love to be with you for this.  You and Mouse will deserve a good massage after. Well, after the skin is healed enough to handle it.  Don't forget to use your Aquaphor after you're done with each day tx. 

    Much love.

    I'm ok. It was just so stressful. I hate needles and should have taken something for anxiety or had my DH holding my hand. I don't understand how someone would get tattoos without being drunk or high! They make it look so relaxing on tv.
