Tonight is the Full Thunder Moon.  So obviously, the Native American Indians who lived where I live, experienced many thunder storms, at this time of year.

And here are some pretty Faerie illustrations, which she feels are important too.  :-)

Important to keep to our usual ways, and to show beauty.  And not let all the hate, constantly drag us down.

.

So here are the pretty flowers photos....   I'll tell you, my heart is not fully in this....   Showing beauty thing....

.

I am still furious...   Yesterday...  "A 17 year old Afghan asylum seeker who police say carried out an ax attack on a German commuter train pledged loyalty to the Islamic State before slashing at least 5 people, according to a video released Tuesday by the Islamic State."

And Obama and Hillary, keep bringing them into our country!!!!!   HOW  DO  I  JUST  POST  PRETTY????

Today marks the Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere.   The longest day of the year, when, in this hemisphere, the earth is tilted closest to the sun.

"Grands'" kitty, next door...

Discovered this one little flower, blooming between steps into the pool area.  It had to have seeded itself.  :-)
.

I so love the color combination of my petunias in pots, on back patio....
.
(I apologize for the too-large-horizontal photos below)
.

And now we begin a series of photos, of the water flowing and bubbling, from the little bird bath fountain, into the little pond. 

(And the horizontal photos are too long.  I apologize.)

I know!   "Over kill"!!!  ,-)  Too many pics of water and bubbles.   ,-)
.

But ...   Just scroll down, if you want to.  :-))))

There!!!!   Those are done!!!!

And now, I am excited about the fact that the Summer Solstice (in the Northern Hemisphere) and the Full Strawberry Moon, coincide on this coming Monday!!!!
.
I love to celebrate seasonal changes.  And also love the Full Moons.  So this will be a very special day/night.  :-)

Has a smile of light
And she sits on a sapphire throne."

Rainy day.... Baking day......

Rainy morning here...  Seems like it will be a good day, to use our spring rhubarb, in baking.  My husband always loves a Rhubarb Pie in the spring.  But after being in hospital, with pancreas, he really has to eat low fat.   Now my homemade crust, is delicious, but it is not low fat.   

So....  I figure I will make him a "little pie."  A galette.  Which is still my pastry...  Still the rhubarb pie filling.   But smaller.  :-)

And with the rest, we can make rhubarb sauce.  To put over other things.

This is a veggie dinner we had recently.  Sauteed mushrooms and squash.  Fiddle Head Ferns.  Fresh asparagus.  :-)

An avacado, pear, and banana, which I had on my island.  Just a pretty little, and healthy little, centerpiece.  :-)

.

Hope some of you, were able to see the Full Flower Moon last night.  I saw it, on Friday night.  But we were overcast, last night.

Tonight is the Full Flower Moon.  As well as being a Blue Moon too.

"We use Full Moon names that were used during Native American and Colonial times to help track the seasons. Depending on the tribe, May’s Full Moon was called the Full Flower Moon as well as Mother’s Moon, Milk Moon, and Corn Planting Moon. The May Moon marked a time of increasing fertility with temperatures warm enough for safely bearing young, a near end to late frosts, and plants in bloom."   source

I hope that you will be able, to view it tonight, in your area.  :-)

Happy Pink Full Moon...

Happy Pink Full Moon...

"Full Moon names date back to Native Americans, of what is now the northern and eastern United States."

.

"– Full Pink Moon – April This name came from the herb moss pink, or wild ground phlox, which is one of the earliest widespread flowers of the spring. Other names for this month’s celestial body include the Full Sprouting Grass Moon, the Egg Moon, and among coastal tribes the Full Fish Moon, because this was the time that the shad swam upstream to spawn."

"Tell me what you feel in your room

when the full moon is shining in upon you

and your lamp is dying out,

and I will tell you how old you are,

and I shall know if you are happy"

Monster winter storm.....

My heart goes out, to fellow citizens, who are in the path of this monster winter storm.   Please be safe. 

.

Happily, we are not in its path.  But so, so, so many are.  -sigh-

And Saturday is the Full Wolf Moon.  Which will mean higher tides, along the coast...
