I hope everyone is having a blessed Litha and a nice Summer Solstice, wherever you may be. We’re certainly having perfect weather here for it–hot, not too humid, sunny and clear.<\/p>\n
Haven’t been posting because I’ve been really busy, and still am, for a while longer. Yesterday was my birthday, but I spent it doing Father’s Day with Dad in the afternoon and then observing Solstice all night. I didn’t go to bed until after ritual ended at 7:18 a.m. local time, so I’m tired and have a little ritual wine hangover today.<\/p>\n
My birthday certainly had an interesting beginning, though. I can’t actually say (to paraphrase a well-known quote) that, if you wake up with a live chipmunk under your pillow, nothing worse will happen to you for the rest of the day. I can posit two things, however:<\/p>\n
1. The odds are definitely in your favor, and,<\/p>\n
2. whatever happens, you’ll have a better day than the chipmunk is having.<\/p>\n
I should have known that Giles and Cerridwen weren’t that interested in me<\/i> when they kept getting up on the bed and sniffing around my head. It’s no hard deduction to guess what happened: Giles caught the chipmunk, was fleeing the other cats, ran into the bedroom and jumped on the bed, lost the chipmunk when he jumped (he does that a lot) and the chipmunk dashed to the closest available cover, which was under my pillows. There he stayed until I got up and started to make the bed, whereupon we both got a Big Surprise.<\/p>\n
The chipmunk has so far eluded all of us and is somewhere in the living room right now. I’m hoping I can catch him before the cats do, and before he dies of thirst in some little cranny. \ud83d\ude41 He’s just a little one, but he’s sure fast!<\/p>\n
I wanted to live in the country, and I love being close to nature, and I love having a rustic kind of home…but live chipmunks in bed with me? That’s just a little too much. Here’s hoping that your Sunday\/Father’s Day wasn’t quite<\/i> so exciting!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
