Our baby Oregon Grape is not so baby anymore and we're going to propagate to plant in a spot nothing else has survived. Wish us luck!
This poor #ForeverFlowers garden has been shifted & slowly building up over 6 yrs. Soon, it'll do as designed. Even in its 'gangly' stage I love it so. In spring it was full of crocus, daffodils, tulips, & irises. Now I'm working on transitional flowers to fill in before the fall bulbs come up.
Today's Garden Star. Found in the #ForeverFlowersGarden here at #VillaWestwyk. #OnTheCovenstead #BloomScrolling #CallaLily
7 pounds of peapods turns into 8 cups of peas. This is why successive crops are important as we #putfoodby for winter. #Peas #OnTheCovenstead This turns into about 16 servings or adds to recipes.
Been brewing up lavender hydrosol and oil. I use it for a natural air freshener, fabric softener, energy cleanser, and, of course, magic. Oh! and given as gifts. #OnTheCovenstead #WitchsBrew #Lavender
The white-crowned sparrows have fledged their babies and a couple of them appear to be brown-headed cowbirds. Cowbirds lay their eggs in other birds' nests. There appears to be two of them in this particular brood (not shown in the video). #WildFamiliars #OnTheCovenstead
The Earth knew I needed a break and gave us rain. Or so I'm choosing to look at it. So there was a little extra coffee break time this morning after barn chores.
Witches know that these signs bring change: weather, season, luck, and Spirit. I'm here for the change in weather, season, and luck, and thereby spirit. 🤞🧿🤘🪄🧹 #WitchSky #OnTheCovenstead #CreativeCrone #WildCovenant
Found a nest in my pea patch. I suspect my white-crowned Sparrow friends. #OnTheCovenstead #WildFamiliars #GrowFood
Been a challenging day with the Grand Witchling. Discovering emotions and boundaries is hard work. Staying a calm Gigi is tough work as well. We did get peas harvested. #OnTheCovenstead #TodaysHarvest
There comes a time in the growing season where harvesting here #OnTheCovenstead is much like a trip to a market. What do we want to eat for breakfast, or lunch, or dinner tomorrow? The Land provides. And we love it. #PermieWitch #GrowFood
Headed to see friends I haven't seen in a bit. And they're getting presents from the Covenstead. #OnTheCovenstead
Footage from our coffee break today. Enjoy this hungry, hungry hummingbird. #VillaWestwyk #WildFamiliars
Grand Witchling harvested the first raspberries yesterday (not pictured below) Today, I picked the first blueberries (saving for breakfast yogurt tomorrow) & another basket of strawberries (turned into honeyed strawberry sauce). Wednesday we pick blackcurrant. #BerrySeason
Waiting on a friend... Should have brought my Runes. Can relive my Sachsenhausen days. #WitchAboutTown
You moment of Zen with one of the notable Cascade mountains. #KomoKulshan #PNWLife #VillaWestwyk
Quick harvest this morning before Sunday Funday. #TodaysHarvest #OnTheCovenstead
Sometimes when I'm feeling like I'm on a hamster wheel & nothing is progressing, the Universe slaps me upside the head & says, "HEY WITCH! Look at this." Breakfast was mostly grown, harvested, prepared, & preserved right here by this here crone. #OnTheCovenstead #GrowFood #SaveWater #FeedSoil
It is not lost on me that in the midst of all this #HarvestCreation work, Jupiter & Venus were kissing. 😘 #OnTheCovenstead #KitchenWitchery
We don't usually see each other's headers. Here's mine. The view from our mountain-view lounge (basically our yard). Quote-skeet with yours. I'd love to see it!
