the wind in the willows

well not quite, as I don't have a willow tree - but the wind was in every tree in my garden, every tree in my street, in my village.....yesterday the weather started of quite sunny but a gale was blowing. I am not happy when it is windy, particularly when I have to hang clothes on the line, they whip around and slap you in the face. I ended up having to chase my recycling rubbish up the road in my pyjamas, kindly helped by the buddhist monk dressed in his orange robes. I call him the Venerable Fred because his real name is just too hard to say. So we gathered the rubbish up and put it all into the bin... said our goodbyes and I went off to have my breakfast.

*this is what Mother Nature sent me yesterday, this is what I saw from my kitchen window. A rainbow to remind me that after the flood of tears that I have cried, there is always a rainbow. Ties quite well into filling your life with colour as Lisa oceandreamer is doing*

Getting on with my housework, I looked out the window and it was sleeting, which steadily turned to snow. Only for about 5 mins, but it still snowed....all this time, my clothes still flapping wildly on the line, that is of course if they were still there........
I went out to lunch with Joe and went looking for something to make my Spirit doll from. I was thinking of 'copying' Daisy's pattern but now I am leaning towards a stick for a body. After lunch, I went looking for a few gifties - and discovered a little shop call FrouFrou - full of amazing treasures... came home and rescued my washing off the line or ground, or wherever it had ended up... trying not to complain.. but it is so hard as I don't do well in the wind. Then I packed a giftie up to be sent of today and made myself a hot chocolate.
all night the wind howled again - gale force - so I have been awake nearly all night and three times I was up to one of the windows on our verandah, being blown open. I was scared it was going to smash overnight - it is quite old - part of the old home next door which was built around 1912, so would be hard to replace....... today more washing - where on earth does it come from?
Now I am off outside to see what damage has been done to my garden. Not much I can do today though, except sit and snuggle in a chair and read and maybe do some work in my soul journal/Book of Shadows. I think I might share some of that oneday soon

tonight, I am off to Spotlight to look for some glittery embellishments for my Spirit doll....

*~* I hope your day is filled with butterflies, magick, colour & fripparies! ~*~
