I haven't had time to write of late, so here goes. My husband is in Alaska and will be home the first week in December. He will be home for Yule which will e great! Two years in a row. That just doesn't happen with his job.
Things have been very stressful here lately with issues with children. They never seem to quit hollering for help, even though they are supposedly adults. My son lives with us and lost his job so now he is job hunting again.
My youngest is mad at me and not speaking to me at all. That is not a big deal since we deal with this on a regular basis. She is my DIVA and the bane of my existence. She has been a drama queen all her life and it hasn't improved even though she is 21 and living on her own.
There are times when I think it would be wonderful to do what my parents did in their 50's and move into an RV and disappear for months at a time. None of my kids could find me then and life would e so much more peaceful. The only trouble is that I am the ultimate Earth Mother and would worry about them all the time. Plus, I would feel incomplete without a garden.
Our weather has been strange..the thermometer has been stuck on 51 degrees for about two weeks and that is not the norm here at this time of year. But now it is trying to break and we have a major winter storm moving in. Storms don't bring snow here, just high winds and lots of rain. So I just batten down the hatches(my husband is a sailor) and ride it out.
I love all of my friends and wish you were all close enough to have a cup of coffee or tea and sit in front of the fire and chat.
You are an earth witch. You have a bit of each of the other elements in you, but still stay your solid self. You are loyal, giving, and trustworthy which unfortunately may cause people to take advantage of you at times. You draw your power from the earth around you and have great respect for Gaia/the mother, and as the earth, you too are beautiful and can make a wonderful mother. Take this quiz!
Here I am...the middle of October and I put my husband on the plane this morning on his way back to Alaska for 7 weeks. I miss him so much when he is gone, but it gives me time to work on projects that I don't do when he is home.
Yesterday was so lovely and sunny and glorious and I got up this morning to weeping skies and gray, gray, gray. My car has a sun roof and yesterday I had it open but I would have had a mobile bathtub today. My husband called when he got to Dutch Harbor and it was snowing hard up there. The weather in Dutch is so awful and it is a naked, stark place. I do not know how he can stand to be there for half of the year. There are no trees, little vegetation and very cold and gray. On those rare days when it is sunny, it still isn't warm. And being on an island with the Bering Sea on one side and the Gulf of Alaska on the other, the air is always cold.
I am going to start on some new projects this week and some Yule gifts that I have been wanting to try. It is going to rain here all week, so I think it will be soup and sandwich sort of dinners and inside work.
My hope for everyone is a wonderful October, and a great Samhain celebration.
