What another great few days I had with my family. Sights to see, things to plant, and binghi fire to keep it all together.
I had a lot of brush to burn and clear on Thursday. I make sure every year that I get these few days off. I always use this week to have a big fire. I end up with a lot of brush and downfall when I limb trees for firewood, this is a simple way to get rid of it all. The fire however is more than that. Our ancestors used fire for survival, protection, cooking, ceremony……My April fire is a ceremony to me. A connection to my roots.
I also needed it to keep warm after we got a little more snow….I know what they say about April showers and May flowers, but what about April snow?..May you can sow ????Let’s hope.
After the fire had stopped its glow we headed away for a couple nights to the beach. The fire and water is a great way to refresh and cleanse the mind. Unfortunately the water is never warm enough to swim at this time of year but the power and natural beauty of our coastline is so magical. We just had to put our feet in…
I love when things start to warm up again. The warm weather brings out the wildlife. We were fortunate enough this week to see moose, deer, coyotes, and our ducks. Maybe I am assuming that they are the same ducks as the last couple years. Either way they are to us. I hope to be able to post a couple photos of them. I wish they would choose to be more photogenic....
Give thanks and praises for all the wonderful things in life.
