"Be Careful What You Wish For"

On August 31, 2013 By hexsignhomesteadIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

We've likely heard it many times, the cautionary statement "be careful what you wish for." We know that the Fates, the Norns, the Powers That Be, by whatever names you know them, can be capricious and literal in ways we would never expect.Let me add another caveat to that caution: "wishing" is not always what …

For those of you who haven't figured it out yet, I am officially an "old fart"... or an old crone, which actually fits me better.

Ornamental Japanese Lantern plants in the perennial "herb" garden; perannial herbs doing great, annual ones, less so.August is usually NOT my favorite month. Nor September, either... though with the coming of equinox, the month grows on me as it progresses. My first thoughts of September, though, always reflect an Ogden Nash poem... September is Summer …

Four small signs shipped today!It isn't very often when I get a chance to inundate the Post Office with a shipment, but today was one of those great days! The signs shown above all are headed off to different homes now. Upper left is a Protection sign, upper right a custom design for a wedding, …

Harvest Feast

On August 1, 2013 By hexsignhomesteadIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

In the world of the pagan folk, harvest feasts and festivals -- a time to celebrate nature's bounty and our hard work, to give thanks for what is and to petition the Gods for their continued blessings -- come more often.  Not surprising, I guess, considering that much of the focus of this path is …
