Full Moon of April

I was actually up when the Moon of April became full. Why, I am not sure. One thing led to another and before I knew it, it was in the wee hours of the morning. I do like these hours. Cool, quiet and lit by the iridescence of the Moon.

I recently had an idea to put together a Wild Flower Full Moon Garden Seed Mix.

Here is a couple of pictures of how I put it together in a bundle and in a tiny terra cotta pot to send to my niece Emelia and her children, and to my sister, Megan. I am hoping that they will "test run" the planting of a Wild Flower Full Moon Garden along with me.

I couldn't resist showing the seed mix with my gardenias. I have a tree that is almost 30 years old and came to live here Under the Florida Maples from an apartment we used to live in. But that's another story....

Well, I wanted to plant my own Wild Flower Full Moon Garden. So I made my own Full Moon Wild Flower Seed Mix.

The white moons are paper mache with seeds added to the back. The larger icons also have seeds added. I have made goddesses; larger moons, hands of Fatima; fairy wings; and a Green Tara (healing garden). The tiny blue moons are paper mache tinted with blue food coloring. There are also terra cotta moons. I added henna designs on the tiny pieces of sea glass I have collected and added various beads and star sequins to give the mix a moonlight quality.

So, with seed mix in hand, by the light of the Full Moon of April,

I headed down the moon lighted pathway. A pair of screech owls called to each other among the pine branches along the path.

I came to a terra cotta pot already prepared.

I sprinkled my Full Moon Wild Flower Seed Mix over the soil, covered with about 1/8 inch of soil and watered.

I can't wait to see what flowers will come alive to reach for the light of Moon.





With some experimenting, I hope to have these little seed mixes available for purchase on Etsy. I think they would make great gifts!

Peace.
