As the hummingbirds begin to visit the feeder en mass, I know they're preparing for their trip south. Just in the past week, my feeder has gone from being a buffet for 6 to hosting 11 or more. One in particular is interesting. I've named him Chatters. He is a very sociable bird. Where most are territorial and will run other birds off, Chatters will perch and talk to the others as they feed. Sometimes talking more than he's drinking. I wonder if Mother Nature has scolded him for not preparing for his forthcoming journey?
When they leave, and I suspect it will happen within the next couple of weeks, fall will be right around the cycle. With this final burst of heat and humidity I am so ready for the rustling of leaves, the cooler nights and all the renewed energy I gain.
This past week, I mowed the sacred space and also found someone to tell me what size wire they're using for rock columns here in the Ozarks. I know my pillars will not be ready this year... but a work in progress. But by the time Samhain comes in, I will have a place to celebrate the coming of the new year.
I'll be posting some things over the next few weeks about preparing ritual caskets and being ready for rituals. I hope you'll join me.

I had seen those pillars of rocks surrounded by wire but I didn't have any idea what they were for. Now I do. Thanks for the information. May you TRULY be blessed.
Merry Meet Cygnetbrown
Thanks for visiting. I hope you'll keep checking in. It's going to get busy over the next couple weeks.
Many Blessings
