I can’t believe I forgot to share my Lammas adventures!!!
Well, I eventually dragged my ass off the internet for a while & managed to celebrate (quite joyfully, I might add) 
Well, I don’t look particularly joyful here, but I assure you I was 
lol
I spent quite a bit of time with the plants around my yard. (Dammit!! I forgot to get those 3 leaf clovers again!!) I picked one of each of the flowers around to place on my altar, and a couple more of each to press for some crafts.
While I was outside, my lil angel kitty from next door decided to check up on me every so often. Hes’ such a darling. He has several names (if you don’t care, just skip past the pic LOL) ~ His given name (from my neighbor, his owner) is Muffin, which Nick & I think is too lame for such a handsome boy lol. We were calling him “Bo-dy” for quite a while because he loves to wander up to us whenever we’re outside. Nick named him “G3″, as in Garfield 3. I named him “Angel” because he is such a darling lil guy; and I also named him “Imbolc” until I can find a more attractive male name with the same meaning because the first time he ever visited us was on Imbolc ~ he randomly found himself outside our dining room window, illuminated by the candle inside, which was quite startling & quite beautiful at the same time, hehehe. Here’s a pic from Imbolc of the very window, & then a pic of the lil guy on Lammas
Here are my tomato & basil plants. My tomato plants suffered a bit of wind damage the night this pic was taken, & my biggest plant may be ruined, unfortunately. However, I did finally make the popsicle stick & hot glue trellises I’ve been meaning to make (yeah, I’m ghetto – LOL) and they seem to be doing their job properly. Hopefully the big plant can recover with its crutches hehehe.
My basil plant is still happily thriving ~ I even picked a few leaves to put in the bruschetta I made I made it with toast, chopped homegrown tomatoes (obviously not my own, heh), olive oil, black olives, basil, & a bit of salt & pepper. Twas delicious!!
And, as for my last pic, my altar with a new cloth & some freshly picked flowers ~ sorry that it’s a bit blurry, it looked fine in the viewfinder…
Hmm… what else did I do??
I spent a bit of time outside trying to meditate while the sun set (which is pretty difficult in the city with Imbolc starting beef with neighboring cats, car horns, & loud, drunken neighbors LOL). I wrote a list of regrets from the past season, burned them & set the ashes free to the wind. I started my own version of the gratitude bottle out of a snazzy looking Snapple bottle with “fire” on the front (it was dragonfruit) & the logo “elements” on the cap ~ I started filling it with the flowers that our cats had maimed & stones found in different places over the season. Aaaand…that’s about it for now. I have to wait for the flowers to finish pressing before I can make an ATC or page in my scrapbook. And I was pretty exhausted after doing all that I had managed to get done, so I took a nap immediately after, hehe. Perhaps I shall do more sometime soon <3
