So in just a couple of short weeks, not only has my belly and the baby grown tremendously (is there any room left? :-) ), but the birdsongs have moved up from 5AM to 4AM! Amazing how things change with the seasons.Two weeks ago the robins were nesting. Last week their young were in the nest, begging for food, and the parents were working around the clock to feed them and find as many worms as possible. Watching them and their frazzled feathery heads gave me a good understanding of what it takes to parent! 
You can see them right in the middle there with their mouths open for food. Three little ones to feed! Well, this week, they have all already left the nest. They are still around, learning to hunt for themselves, and rapidly gaining their independence. Amazing.
The mixture of rain and sun have been just what Motherwort (above) must have wanted. She is thriving with good medicine and does just fine without human intervention, like all of Nature's Bounty. :o)
Enjoy the end of Spring and the beginning of beautiful Summer.
In Good Medicine,
Mae
At 5AM, the birds are all singing together and apart. They are singing their Morning Songs without a care in the world at this time and it is all one can hear. The symphony is beautiful and makes me very aware that there are many, many creatures out there, all living their lives, while we all cumulatively live our lives together.
And here (below) is the garden at just 10 minutes before 6AM ~ a bit brighter, and the Morning Songs have quieted down except for the later risers. The robins have emerged and are hunting worms for their families...
So remember your Song today and Live it! :o)
Here's Daddy-to-be getting ready to check on the bees. It's wonderful working together outside and observing all of the honeybees hard at work doing their thing...
