April's Poetry Month! Poem-A-Day #10 & #11; ticking the title sends you to Our Host~The Chyrsalis Stage

April 10th
Spring Shows Us What God Can Do With A Drap & Dirty World
Dark, dank, dirty prank
Winter's slick decay had made.
God has blessed incredible ways of
Showing up all that you do, or did to day.
He first decides to shoot up little thin green fronds of grass
Through the ground
Next thing you know, there's a little
Show of dancing daffodils in the pas-
ture
What a flair God does share~~~

Anything You See
Big old Bumble Bees, never seen them bigger!
In full force you see,
Dodge around the corner!
Lots of vigor,
Up and Down,
In circle,
Round and round, by
My back porch,
Nothing seems to guide them!
Old Charlie's spirit close beside them@
All springing up and out from the ground.
With a big bouncing bound,
To the air around
They do go!
Bumble Bee Dance & Sing of Spring!
Bumble Bee Show you everything!
Their Abundance is quite large this year.
Thankzzz Buzz

Slug Bread and Beheaded Thistles

I wanted to use one of the book's insights as a Saturday Morning Post, but the whole book is so interesting, I couldn't pick just one this morning and am reading the whole 120 pages again in full with it's Inconclusion, it's moving.
This book is a conservative look at conservative ideals and remedies that are reused, non-toxic, and such. Some is for 'wow' effect and historic, most is practical and comical techniques we all can adopt. Ellen Sandbeck shows environmentally safe and developing ways to help our world get off the poisons our culture uses. She believes humor is a key, as well as, wit. She explains about "garden helpers, making toad homes (simply turn over a flower pot and sink it a little)," natural pest control, and safer marketed cleaners. I personally recommend not buying any of that stuff, and learn to boil water, make our own soaps and cleaners and the like. It is a lot of work to be environmentally friendly, but commerce counts on us thinking that you know!
Ellen believes that "Laughter is the best medicine, and so are Dandelions."
AND THAT
"We need a new attitude if we are to excel in the "human versus pests" game; we need to recover our sense of humor and realize that a worm in an apple is not life=threatening, and that nobody ever died of having dandelions in a lawn. We need all the laughs we can get in our dealings with pests, or we will be deadly serious all the way to the cemetery."
She talks of DDT, and exorcism but not in the same sentence. Made you look. Anyway, it's a great addition to your library's garden section; at least it is for my library. Wouldn't exorcise it for the world. Always good to have a tickle and a nickel where pest control, and the toxic commercial remedies out there, are concerned. So, it's time to go look at the dirt for signs of life. I can't wait for the lights to come on. Just joking, open, open, open~~~

It's The Bees Knees~~~My Love of Bees and My Little Visit and Our Planetary Friends

Bees, Sun and Saturn;
March is House Searching Months for Wild Bees.

So, I think this means that if you see them look like they are wandering, they are. I think Bees are amazing. I want to do a report and start journalizing more on these. Last year we bought Mason Bee Tubes. We Built a house for them. I don't think they used it. I will research and be adding my journal enteries as such.
Mason Bees, Bumble Bees are my main study. They are really interesting and vital to our lives, as are all plants, bugs, and animals where balance is concerned.

Bees can’t see red light, but unlike us they can make their way through the world guided by ultraviolet radiation.

The workaholic honey bee is certainly one of saturn’s capricornian minions. pay homage to the hardest working insect of the zodiac and enjoy this classic tipple. bees are like any other capricorn… without them… the world would grind to a halt. the goat, or bee, sees to it that things happen, deadlines get met, honey gets made, savings accounts are opened, combs of honey are stored for winter, ect. so thank your fellow capricorn next time you get the chance for keeping the spokes of our big world wheel turning.

Capricorn at Pluto ( 275° 11' 2")
Pluto is the planet of deep, impersonal energies and transforming forces. In a natal chart, the aspects and position of Pluto indicate areas of life in which the subject is capable of making fundamental changes, for better or for worse.
I believe, feeling, duality, spirituality, soul growth, suffering, artistic, overly emotional, feet. Do Bees feel? Aren't we all of the planet? Do they know?~~~

don’t forget to also thank the honey bee by:
***planting a garden (yes one plant on your city rooftop does count),
***buying organic produce (and avoiding GM foods like corn, white rice, papaya. unfortunately, the only way to be sure you are avoiding GM foods is to buy organic due to the absence of government required labeling)
***minimizing your use of pesticides (rethink your lawn care and try going au natural. or practice integrated pest management)
***limiting the use of your cell phone (and all other wireless devices. FYI, these are also bad for us.)
***for the very ambitious among us, raising a hive. it’s not as hard as it sounds, and can be quite meditative.)
***taking government action: read here on how germany just outlawed several pesticides. (god forbid the US could so something as intelligent and progressive as that.)

SAVE THE BEES KNEES
2 oz organic gin
3/4 oz organic honey syrup*
1/2 oz fresh organic lemon juice

*make honey syrup by mixing equal parts hot water and honey. stir until dissolved.

Now a little information on our planetary friends;
Thursday March 25, the Sun and Saturn will parallel - aligning at 2 degrees north of the celestial Equator.
The only time that the Sun and Saturn can make this kind of polarity at the beginning of spring is every 29+ years when Saturn is located in airy Libra.

Oh, And One More Thing.....

Soil Association is looking at a poison linked to the killing off of the bees.
Check it out for yourself. I am just into bees, and that darn Carson lady's book left me no choice, years ago, but to make my ears perk up when I see that there is still talk going on like that, and there's an obvious population decrease here,
'made me look'.

What about you?

Please feel free to send in your comments.

Thank you!
