i used to name my own moons.  I'm going back to it.    Watching as more and more bees came.   And a question was SO answered…about WHY the Apricot Trees bloom every year,  when it is still so ify for them,  when most times either a late frost or the fierce Winds take their blossoms?????  Why???

The bees.  The bees are Awake.  the Bees are Hungry and NEEDING.  Old Apricot Woman here is there for them,  blossoming,  feeding,  giving.  Nothing else blooms yet.     Sometimes things go both ways and she is able to also give fruit which to her would mean seed.  And i VOW,  that if this year is one of those years and a pit takes root,  i will care for it as if it were my own child.  Gather it in and care for it to become a Tree of its own.

HERE.  This is the work of the hand of Particia,  Following Thread  at wordpress.  I of course forgot to get the correct link words.  But,  Here.  Here.  

Here!

I LOVE this basket!!!  I have carried it around,  setting it here and there and it's wonder FULL,  here and there,  but where i love it best is in my lap,  held between my two hands….

    Have you saved any pits to give a start to? I have never eaten an apricot but tasted some off Charlies spoon the other day. very sweet sliding into almost sharp, but that’s baby food.

    Patricia’s beautiful basket next to the Dali Lama…as I looked I realized that the colors of the basket echo the Dali Lama and there is a sense of calm even though the predominant color is a softened red – coral. So I looked up coral and found that it is often used to give a calming sense of warmth- yes, I feel it

    Old Apricot Woman … tending to her bees before self
    Your writing … not just the words, but your hand … exploring home, finding its perfect center within four walls, then expanding beyond their definition
    And this basket self, in “my fravorite color” … which is what one of my grands calls orange … a thread strung from east to west, binding us in the best way possible, as only cloth can
    But most of all, the naming of moons …
    Yes, I do love all these things …

    What a beautiful partnership between the apricot and the bees. I am reading a book called “The Song of Increase” by Jaqueline Freeman. She is a beekeeper and writes about her experiences with the bees. You could check out a sample and see if it resonates with you.

    i just looked and found this in one of the reviews:
    “I walked barefoot through the field toward a hive and Wham! I stepped on a little bee who stung me in the very center of my foot, on the Bubbling Spring acupuncture point..the very first point that forms in the featus, the one that helps you ground and connect with the earth, the point that roots energy downward”
    Yes. Thank You!!!!!!!!!!! Yes. and just again, how MUCH
    oh so Fine and WonderFull things there are to learn. This is
    Happiness. Thank you, Very much

    no..it’s been i think 3 years since there was fruit. There was
    a small one growing that year but i don’t know what happened to
    it? They are fairly common around here. I DO need to get another.
    and yes. I used to by baby food apricots when i was in college.
    Loved them. They were dessert. I can imagine Charlie when he
    first tasted this.
