PLANTING TIME

It seems like a long time since I blogged. Although,  it was just Wednesday, that is longer than I like to go. It seemed longer, because everyday I wanted to blog and things got in the way. Thursday was cleaning lady day; we vacate the premises for two and one/half hours so our marvelous, magical cleaning lady can transform our dwelling into a pristine living environment. We went shopping to prepare for a party we had that evening. We had a great time! Friday there was a pile of dishes to do. Okay, I confess, Jamie did the dishes. What did I do, besides, recover from the great night I had the day before? Hmmmmm. Then came Saturday, surly I was going to blog........but, well, I was crabby. I don't know why I was crabby.

It is horrible when a negative wave comes over you and the reason is not clear. It is like fighting a negative ghost. Since it is my job to know these things, I need to explore my consciousness and understand something about it. A note of caution; often there is no ready answer and you are better off just banishing the bad feeling, just like you would expel an uninvited guest. However, many times, the bad feeling comes from saying something to yourself. You validate the self-criticism by not immediately rejecting it. It is usually connected to an old program [one of those cyst we talked about] so the bad feeling comes with full orchestration and costumes. Of course it is all disguised and fresh looking and often you are aware of no content, you just feel the awfulness. The solution is generally forgiving yourself; often, for an ancient transgression. There is help. Even if you don't believe in a higher, eternal self, pretend you do, it will still work; ask your higher self for help. Ask, "What and who do I need to forgive?" The answer will come.

 I have tons of work to do. Last Fall and this past Winter, we had several very windy, days and there are many branches that need cleaning up. There are, also two trees that blew down and need cutting up. One of the trees is crushing an ancient lilac bush. That is the first thing I need to do, so the poor bush can recover. Although, this lilac was planted about one hundred years ago, it has been pruned back many times, it is large, but not huge.

We just began our planting. The garlic and potatoes are in the ground. Peas will be planted today. We are harvesting last years parsnips. Tomatoes are in the greenhouse and will be there another month. The onions, grown from seed in the green house, are ready for transplanting.

I need to get out there, with my chainsaw, and get that tree out of the lilac bush.

Love and Peace, Gregg
