June 2022:
Summer in the garden is the time for all things growing. The heat can be challenging at times for gardeners and gardens alike, but the rewards are so many. It seems as long as the water keeps flowing, we make it through the hot season in style, with an abundance of fruits, veggies and GARDEN COLOR! We are so blessed! Have a beautiful June everybody and a wonderful celebration at the turning of the seasons on Summer Solstice. Here in the northern hemisphere, the gardens are calling...and we are listening!!

It's May Day, my favorite day of the Year! The day we celebrate the Earth and all things growing. The trees, the plants, the flowers; this is the day we honor Nature and the beauty and abundance she brings to all of our lives. Mother Nature is a beautiful and generous Mother indeed.

The month of April is upon us, and here in the Northern Hemisphere that means FLOWERS! When the world feels all topsy turvy, as it certainly does at the moment being that we are in the midst of a huge shift of consciousness, we can always turn to Nature for the balance and the joy that we seek. She is always there. Let the Flowers be your medicine, they are made for that you know. Have a Happy Spring everybody!

Take up the reins, get on your horse and ride!!!
That's the message I received for 2022.
It's going to be one heck of a year, full of forward movement and a variety of challenges to get there.
The best way to navigate the coming year is to listen deeply to the voice of your Heart.
It will always guide you through, no matter what you are going through. It is the one true voice.
As we embark on this journey of 2022, may we all find reasons to smile, to dance, and to love.
Here's to an amazing New Year everybody. Enjoy the ride!! 

We​lcome to the final month of 2021... whew, what a year!
​All on the Planet at this time are shifting and changing and evolving into the Light, and it's been a wild ride indeed! The Partial Lunar Eclipse in late November was a potent one, and the message I received was perfect for these times. The message said, "We release what no longer serves us into the dark, as we step into the Light!" This is happening everywhere on the Planet, and even Mama Gaia herself is cleansing and releasing so she may carry more of that beautiful Light!  Here in the garden, the flowers are shining with their final splash of Color and Light before season's end. It's been an amazing year, and sometimes a hard one too, as the garden has learned to evolve in the midst of a changing Earth. All the plants, trees and flowers here have been transforming from their old blueprints into something new. They are adapting to carry more Light, and it has been a challenging one at times. But the Devas, Nature Faeries and I have been supporting them all along the way, and the garden has still been full of abundance, even in the midst of these challenges The food and flowers are full of Light, and we are blessed...
My wish is that each of you may find your own way through these challenging times so you too can carry the Light.
Every candle is needed at this time!
​Much love to all of you and here's to an amazing 2022!

We are in the midst of the most exquisite Fall Days here in the Eastern Sierra! The bright, sunny days and clear blue skies are such a welcome change after all the smoke we endured in late summer. And now our world is Golden again! Here in the Fall garden, the flowers are smiling in cool days and crisp autumn nights. The final season's bulbs-Toad Lilies, Narcissus, and Fall Crocus- are up and blooming big! We look forward to them every year and this year they're amazing. Our Runner Beans are still busy making beans and the fall lettuce is crisp and sweet. And we still have plenty of garden tomatoes left and even some basil too, so I'm busy in the kitchen making fresh pasta sauce and pesto! I will miss that most of all when the garden season is over. 
As Steve and I move into our Thanksgiving holiday, we are both so grateful for the abundance we've received this year. It's been a challenging season in the garden to be sure, yet it was still so fruitful. I think that's how life is for everyone right now. We have to look for those gifts in the midst of our challenges. May you all receive gifts in the midst of your own challenges and may they be more fruitful than you could have ever imagined!  See you in the garden...

Oh, yes. The mild days and cool nights are upon us, as daylight softens and nighttime sparkles with a million stars! This is one of my favorite times of year in the garden! The tomatoes are ripening to juicy perfection, the dahlias and roses are smiling in sunny coolness (finally!) and the salvias are bursting with a final splash of wild fall color! The symphony has reached its crescendo and the melody is sweet and high. It is autumn bliss here in the garden, and how lucky are we to see, feel and taste it all...
