Joyful June, A Posy and A Poem

It’s June already!This was the purple, white and green posy we took for Ti today.

We read a new poem with Ti today, ‘Chocolate Cake’ by Michael Rosen – and we all loved it. Here’s a Youtube version of this delightful poem.

Old Fire Station, Spring Equinox and Cake

1   Walking through Penryn a different way today, I noticed the old Fire Station, all painted up and now someone’s home. Click on the photo for detail of the sign over the door.

2   Today is the Spring Equinox and we went again to our friends’ newly planted woodland where they are creating a stone circle. We helped to raise a stone at Winter Solstice, see this post, and today we helped to raise another for the Spring Equinox.  Follow the slide show through to see the whole event.

3  After a cold and rather wet Ceremony, we went in to sit by the wood-burning stove and tucked into the most delicious cake made by T, in honour of the developing stone circle.

Sign of Spring, Fly and A New Chocolate Cake

1    The honeysuckle is beginning to bud already. I hope the promised freezing weather doesn’t do too much harm.

2    I love the iridescent colours on the body of this fly which has landed on the Cistus.
