Beltaine Gardening..It's just a Spring Clean for the May Queen..
Ohhhh yesss.. Hands in the dirt. Finally getting in the front garden bed for a spring weeding session. Reaching around a small shrub, I found myself face to face with the sweetest smelling lily-of-the-valleys.. I plucked one, and tucked it behind my ear.. and crowned myself the May Queen. The smell from that tiny frond of flowers was absolutely intoxicating. Causing me to swoon a bit. I rolled up my short sleeves to expose my lily-white shoulders to the warm rays. Reveling in the way my hair absorbs the heat and light, from our yellow star, I closed my eyes... I went back to being the reaper with my tools, deciding which plants stay and which ones go...Plucked a few for lunch, though..Violet flowers and leaves, Dandy-Lion Flowers and Greens and others too...taking this Blessed May Day right inside my body, Yummy.
