SALISBURY – As far as MayFest is concerned, organizers know today is most likely going to be a washout. It’s a familiar story for organizers. Last year, Rowan County Fair Manager Johnny Love said, “the weather was our biggest enemy.” But the weather forecast for Friday, Saturday and Sunday looks to make up for all […]

Hello everyone! We are so happy to have you here! We hope that you are having a good weekend. First of all, we would like to say a huge thank you to Deanna and Giorgia for being our guest designers this month! We have loved seeing the beautiful layouts that they have share with us. For our last Spring themed challenge you are to create a layout using the following color palette. I just love all the varied shades of green in this combination with just a hint of pinks. You don't have to use the same ratio of colors in the photo and it doesn't have to be an exact match, but close enough so that we can tell you used the color palette. LM #341 - Use the following color inspiration photo. First up is our April Guest Designer with her super cute layout April GDT - Deanna Sandy Lori Tina Thanks so much for stopping by and hope you find time to create with us this week!
Faucet Splitter Streamlines Watering The smart way to manage multiple garden hoses Four spigots reduce the need to attach and remove hoses Separate flow control dials Connect up to four hoses to a single tap so you can run sprinklers, soaker hoses and drip irrigation, without running back and forth to swap out hoses. Or keep one spigot available for filling your watering can or rinsing hands. The angled spigots make connecting and disconnecting fittings a breeze. Separate dials smoothly control flow and on/off.

May Faire is probably my favorite festival of the year. Partially this is due to the lightness of heart and spirit that accompany the warmer and longer days coming to the Pacific Northwest in tandem with this joyous observance. Mostly though I love the strong sense of community that this celebration brings as we commemorate the Spring (or Summer depending on one's seasonal calendar). It seems we've spent many a cold, wet day tucked away in our individual homes and this is the moment we come out and not only join together in song and dance but fall back into the warm and greening arms of Mother Nature as kindred cousins sharing the stories and crafty goodness that the colder, solitary months created. The Waldorf school is such a huge part of our lives and, outside of our families, it is the backbone of our social world. May Faire (as well as other festivals there) helps to anchor us in our annual rhythm in which community plays such a large part. It's one thing to take note of the breathing of the earth and the changing of the seasons on our own. It's quite another to have a whole village recognize the incredible value of reconnecting to the harmony and beauty implicit in the seasonal round of festivals. As Father Sun plays hide and seek behind the clouds this day, we enjoy the company of friends and family as we watch the Maypole and Morris dancers and share our picnic lunch on the lawn. Beneath the dancing, hair braiding, eating of sweets and the chaos of the children's play, there is a sense of reverence in many activities and, unlike many carnivals or amusement parks, I don't feel like the faire sets us up to seek or experience manufactured happiness. There just exists in its participants and events a deep and comfortable, quiet joy. A joy we experience together. At home this morning, we prepared by putting together fresh Spring garlands (for a quick tutorial click here). We also brought a basket of ankle bells mommy had made the night before to share with friends. (Perfectly delightful for the little one's as they skipped around the Maypole!) This year Naiya was able to really participate in all that the festival had to offer. While I enjoyed and was inspired by the artistry and innovation in the craft market, our dear daughter partook of the more kid-compelling elements of the day. There was an old fashioned cake walk, a puppet show, a wandering pocket lady, face painting and hair braiding. The very clever parents of the children in the grades also provided us with an array of wholesome pastimes. We got to search for buried treasure in the sand, fish with our feet for jewels in the pond... make our own bubble wands... to create giant bubbles... tie fairie rings, race paper boats in the creek... and ride in a donkey cart. The freedom and merriment of Spring are upon us with all its color and light. here is a branch of snowy May a branch the fairies gave us who would like to dance today with the branch the fairies gave us? dance away, dance away holding high the branch of May

Beltain/Beltane Festival of Fertility and Union The name originates from the Celtic god, Bel - the 'bright one', and the Gaelic word 'teine' meaning fire, giving the name 'bealttainn', meaning 'bright fire'. This is the beginning of the light half of the year when the Sun begins to set later in the evening . To our ancestors Beltane was the coming of summer and fertility. The fields are sown, the crops are growing, and in the cycle of the farming year, although there is always some work to be done, there is now a little time to relax and enjoy things for a while before the next surge of activity at harvest time. So, it is a time for rejoicing. It is a time for sharing. It is a time for new beginnings - which may well include courtship and marriage, but can also refer to any field of human endeavour. It officially begins at moonrise on May Day Eve, and marks the beginning of the third quarter or second half of the ancient Celtic year. It accompanies the first turning of the herds out to wild pasture. The rituals were held to promote fertility. Animals were transferred from winter pens to summer pastures, and were driven between the Beltane fires to cleanse them of evil spirits and to bring fertility and a good milk yield. The Celts leapt over Beltane fires - for fertility and purification.Contact with the fire was interpreted as symbolic contact with the sun. In early Celtic times, the druids kindled the Beltane fires with specific incantations. Later the Christian church took over the Beltane observances, a service was held in the church, followed by a procession to the fields or hills, where the priest kindled the fire. The rowan branch is hung over the house fire on May Day to preserve the fire itself from bewitchment . This is a holiday of Union both between the Goddess and the God and between man and woman. Handfastings are traditional at this time. It is a time of fertility and harvest, the time for reaping the wealth from the seeds that we have sown. We celebrate sexuality, we celebrate life and the unity which fosters it. The Lord and his Lady, having reached maturity, come together in Perfect Love and Perfect Trust to celebrate the joy of their union. This is a time to celebrate the coming together of the masculine and feminine creative energies. Beltane marks the emergence of the young God into manhood. Stirred by the energies at work in nature, he desired the Goddess. They fall in love, lie among the grasses and blossoms and unite. The flowers and greenery symbolise the Goddess and the Maypole represents the God. Beltane marks the return of vitality and passion of summer. Another common focal point of the Beltane rituals is the cauldron, which represents the Goddess. It is a time to ask yourself what will you focus on? What can you change to make life better? What can you do to spread goodwill? Let the energy of Beltane carry you closer to your goals. Beltane activities could include watching the sun rise, have a camp out, sit around a fire with friends, jump the Beltane fire leaving behind anything that is holding you back, make and walk a spiral or labyrinth and of course dance around the maypole!
