Plans: we’ll see…
Frija, Great All-Mother; caregiver of Family, Hearth and Home, teach us to be patient but not passive; wise but not haughty in our wisdom; far seeing yet not blind to that which is before us. May we nurture life, increase life, and live our own lives more fully. Through you we give honor to our human mothers. Through you we see all the beauty that surrounds us as well. WE GIVE YOU A MOST A HEART-FELT HAIL, FRIJA, as we honor the Frija that resides in us all!
Frouwa, most lovely of all goddesses, who could not love you: Women as their own
inner glory and highest attainment as the self-made woman, men for your beauty,
passion and strength. Praise to you for the gift of life, and for the love that makes life worth living. Remind us always that it is the strong who love the best and the most, and that only the mighty can truly be gentle. Fill our lives with passion and lust that we may live our lives to the fullest. WE GIVE YOU MOST A HEART-FELT HAIL, FROUWA, as we honor the Frouwa that resides in us all!

A seventh I know: if I see a hall
high o'er the bench-mates blazing,
flame it ne'er so fiercely I still can save it, --
I know how to sing that song.
Outcome: Who needs Heimo’s protection when I have Frija’s?
Over the last couple of days I’ve been working over @ W’s house trying to get her yard presentable as she prepares to sell her home. She has been kind enough to adequately pay me for my efforts. Thanks W!
I have NEVER before waited in a food line. Today was commodities day at the Salvation Army. My name was placed on the list a couple of days ago. MAN, that place was packed. People were generally nice to each other. I sat by this one lady who was nice; sandwiched between her and this guy who never uttered a word. I generally don’t use the word “humble” but this was a very humbling experience. I got a fair amount of food.
Pyewacket and Socks were in briefly today.
I had a very emotional telephone conversation with my WONDERFUL niece. Like the goddess she is, she gave me a monetary gift to pay my electric bill in the TAH-DAH nick of time.
The news has been loaded all day with the tragedy in Aurora, Colorado:

Watered the baby trees and the topsy-turvy tomato plants.
We’ve had several days of 100+F/38+C temps. The wear-n-tear is starting to show on two of the baby trees no matter that I water them daily. I make sure to water them either first thing in the morning or last thing at night; staying away from watering them during the hottest time of the day. Care and feeding of them says “full sun” but I don’t think 100+F/38C full sun is good for anybody or anything. I considered stringing up a tarp to one side of the affected trees in an effort to block some sun. Instead, I opted to place patio chairs as close to the trees as I can. Too, this makes shade very moveable. I can move the shade around depending on sunrise or sunset. Hopefully this helps because they surely are looking burnt.
GODS that cool shower felt extremely nice tonight!
The Wurtâ, all three, are present at birth
To weave our Fate from merriment to dearth.
Urda, Werdanda and Sculd, the dark queens renowned;
Glorious ladies ‘neath the Tree, work your mysteries i us now.
That which “was” we can clearly see.
That which “is becoming” will form now in our deeds.
That which “is owed”, will be, but we cannot yet see,
We celebrate the Wurtâ, the Ladies Three, for all eternity.
