Hussah to Crystal, Anna and Gavin for taking the initiative to take down the Yule Tree and put it all away.
Hussah!
-
No problem, really. I live to dismantle bright, shiny displays of joy and cheer. :D
Gavin - waiting for Halloween to come back around ;)
-
Hussah to Caryn and Will for spending Friday and Saturday doing Gods know what at the Grove! ;D
-
Huzzah to Crystal and Anna for cleaning up the ritual room and ritual rats nest under the Shining Ones Altar.
Huzzah to Caryn for ferrying all the extra crap into the basement and for helping us clean off the Nature Spirits Altar.
Woo hoo Spring Cleaning has offically begun!
-
Hussah to Caryn and Will for spending Friday and Saturday doing Gods know what at the Grove! ;D
LOL!!! Well lets see, Will worked on the trim for the windows.
And I scraped, primed, and painted the kitchen sink cabinet in Apt C
-and primed and/or painted 2 of the door jams in APt C
-and finished painting the back of the door in Apt C
-And put up wood, primed, painted and installed 8 more coat hooks in both the middle closet and the mud room
-and swept the basement
-and caulked one of the windows
-and painted the back of the middle closet door
and, and, and oh and cleaned up afterwards
-
Huzzah to our horde of housecleaners! :-* You all did a beautiful job up there!
-
Huzzah to the 11pm clean-up crew. Anna and Dennis who helped clean up outside and in general. Renee for taking out the recycle clans, and especially Danielle for doing 11pm forgotten dishes.
-
I wanted to add thanks to Keg for vaccuuming and being kind enough to stop everytime my lame arse ran past putting stuff away.
The place looked 100% better than it usually does after rituals...is this a trend I certainly hope so.
-
Hussah to the cleanup crew and it did look good this morning. We finished up the backyard and cleaned up after RoC. We were tired and were out of there by 2PM. Hussah to Kat, Courtney, Danielle, Jeff, Will and Caryn for finishing up and leaving it ship shape.
-
Huzzah to Caryn, Will, and Kat for all their work messing in the gardens and such today. You guys are gardenin fools! :)
-
Actually, I didn't do a lot outside, other than take down the pine roping. Mostly, I caleaned up inside so Caryn and Will wouldn't have to worry about that when they came in.
-
Don't forget Rebecca, she was out there diggin up the sage and the rosemary along the front walk.
-And Anna, I moved all the bulbs you planted between the bushes out front to various places around the yard. They were already poking their heads out of the ground and I was afraid to just throw them in a pot under the porch. We are going to have lots of spring flowers in the sanctuary this year.
-
Huzzah to Caryn and Will for their very generous hospitality to Renee and myself during WABA-PLC. Caryn, as always, went beyond her duties in the hospitality department, and I'm still trying to figure out a way to repay her kindness :)
I hope I can repay the gratitude some day :)
And naturally, huzzah to everyone who represented CLG at WABA-PLC this year. Despite it being very Wiccan centric, I think we got some Druidification in there somewhere.
REPRESENT.
-
Hussah to Courtney and Jeff and everybody who made RoC -AND- Walk With the Old Ones happen last Sunday even though the doors never did get unlocked.
Damn That's Dedication!!!!! HUSSAH!!!!

Seconded.

They certainly got the beginnings of an earful from me, and the promise of a full account of my thoughts to come. I'm sure they love me.
Renee
-
Thank You to Crystal and Renee, you are most welcome. I am finding that I really LIKE having folks in my home that appreciate hospitality. It soooo much different from having teenagers around all the time. :o :o :o
I'm looking forward to doing it more often.
Husah to Crystal, Renee, and Kat for helping to represent us at the leadership conference. Kay and I seem to have a much higher tolerance for this kind of stuff so Hussah to Crystal and Renee for hanging in there even though they were bored to tears at points. Hussah to Kat for volunteering do do even more????? :o
I just hope that if you find you've bitten off too much that these cats don't all come crashing down around you.

Hussah to Courtney and Jeff and everybody who made RoC -AND- Walk With the Old Ones happen last Sunday even though the doors never did get unlocked.
Damn That's Dedication!!!!! HUSSAH!!!!
You're making me blush.
-
Yay Courtney! Wish I coulda been there to see it :)
-
Huzzah to Caryn for volunteering to babysit the watermain people :)
-
I just volunteered to help, not lead anything. Mainly by typing m'fingers off, but hey - I used to do that for a living! ;D
-
Huzzah to Will and Caryn, yet again, for fixing the devastated front yard.
When we got there a wide trench was where the sage used to be.
Unreal. Den and I did what we could Den did more than I, fixing the rat mess by the trash pad and compacting some soil near it. Will and Caryn moved stones, earth, plants and damn near the wind to get things back to where they ought be. Plants were moved and even some new bulbs went in. While Caryn and I tended the sage Den and Will ferried clay and irises to a new home. To look at it, maybe it took and hr but to be there it took all damn day and we have so much more to do.
And after all was said and done we sat by the fire and drummed some fine beats and drank some fine mead and ale. A good time was had by all. Good food, good friends and a days worth of work. Our Patron would be proud@!
Even more than that Will gave a word to me, a feeling, a caress -- to the meaning of that which we all call home. Maybe, just maybe we'll see a workshop on Earth, our Lover.
So Huzzah to the garden gnomes and earth lovers you are not forgotten!!
Anna
-
Huzzah guys! I can't wait to see it this morning :)

Huzzah to you all and thank you for your hard work! :)

Hussah to Will for doing a complementary workshop along with the VAD!
Hussah to all of CedarLight for making him feel at home and comfortable!
Hussah to all of CLG pitching in a making sure all the work got done!
Hussah all around!

HUSSAH!!!!
To Will and Jack men with powertools!
We now have a bridge!
And where did the wood come from you ask????
From the deck that Anna, Den, Will and Caryn tore down last fall from freecycle, that's where!!!
Free wood and now we have a bridge over the moat!!!!
WOOHOO!!!!
-
I have always loved men with power tools.... :o :o
I have always loved Will.. ::) ::)
Now I have reason to love Jack... :-* :-*
Thanks Jack, I miss you and CLG as well...still need time...many changes, many emotions, many feelings yet to work out...
Blessed Ostara to all......
-
Good job guys, can't wait to see it and take pictures of it today :)
-

We now have a bridge!
Moat? What moat?
-
Our Ostara Auction raised $200.25! Details of items, winners, and totals are posted in the Liturgists Guild thread for those with members action.
Fantastic ritual all, can't wait for Beltane :D We will be posting information on our quarterly Beltane Charity Drive soon :)
Anyone who wants to make payment via paypal can send it to clg@cedarlightgfove.org
-
HUZZAH to Crystal, Danelle and Court who did dishes including mine. Thank you Crystal again for cleaning up massively. CLG looks tons better than it used to after high rites. I had less to clean up outside this time. Looks like people are starting to figure out where the trash and recycling cans are after all. ;D
-
Well, I didn't vaccuum, but it was late and I didn't want to bother the tenants with it :D
-
Not that I ever leave things anywhere...but if anyone sees a little black carrying case, grab it for me. It has various video objects in it.
If you grab it and are coming to Ecumenicon, can you bring it with you?

:D ;D Thr drainage that runs down through the yard and produces mud at the least and standing water at the most right next to the grape arbor. And now we have a tiny little bridge to go over it.
Folks already want to call it Heimdall's rainbow bridge.
-
Thank you to Renee and Jackie and Crystal for doing dishes today.
Thank you to Renee for vaccuuming.
Thank you to Matt, Caryn, and Will for working on tearing down the dead willow.

Huzzah to all the folks that helped plant the new Holly Tree near the Sunday :) I'm unsure of who all helped or I'd list names, but it was very much appreciated!

It was Jim and Z and Jack and Jeff with Caryn and Will (snoopervising)
And Hussah to Will and Frank for chopping and sawing a bunch of wood for future fires.
Hussah to all those who helped cleanup on the inside while the rest of us got really muddly outside.
-
Matt did some too.
Jack
-
Huzzah to Caryn, Crystal and Jack for representing CLG at Trillium. We have a specially made bottle of Trillium mead to share at Beltane!
-
And a big thank you to Crystal and Caryn for making me feel so at home at Trillium, introducing me around, walking me back to the tent in the wee hours of morning, when trees were dancing far too much, for helping with tent raisings, and drum retrievals, for sharing Hippocratic Wine, and good stories of hedonistic times, and curious rumors of erotic, plastic animal videos, or put more succinctly.... for a very good weekend. My only regret is that I didn't get to meet the Martian with the strange juju who kidnapped Anna. Maybe next year.

Oh yes, pictures and a video of Jack and the "monkey" will be posted in the Members Only section for all to enjoy. (Obviously I can't post these publically :))
-
Huzzah to Caryn and Z for taking the time to mow the entire lawn today.
Huzzah to Crystal, Jeff, (the guy whose name I can't remember) and Frank for putting the slabs under the grape arbor to prevent it from sinking into the ground anymore :)
Huzzah to Renee and Jess for helping clean up inside.
It's good to see people dedicated enough to the vision of the Grove to put forth the time and effort to volunteer for things like this willingly. As the Grove -is- built on its volunteers.
-
Danny, his name is Danny. LOL! Our Sourthern Belle. ;D
-
Huzzah to John, Frank, Caryn, and Will for mowing the lawns yesterday :)

HUSSAH!!!
Is that what those stakes in the lawn were for? I thought they were pointing out areas that needed to be gone over with the mower real good. Oops!!
:o
-

Tomorrow will be our last day here, we'll be moving in with my Aunt and have found a house we are going to try and buy. It's further away for me to drive to the Grove, but don't worry, I will still be down as usual!
See you all at Lughnasadh!

Thanks to Jim G for mowing the lawn the other Sunday and to Chelsea for doing a bit of cooking :D

Huzzah to Jim and Caryn for mowing the lawn today! I am not sure who did dishes, I think several of us did, but huzzah to you too!

I did some later but the majority were done before we came in.

I'd like to give a hats off to Kat for soloing the organization of the Baltimore Pagan Pride Day this year, which I very much enjoyed, even though credit was listed as someone else.
I'd also like to give a hats off to Chelsea for soloing the organization of a canned food drive during PPD. The totals of which I will post later when I receive them.
We were VERY well represented at the PPD this year in my opinion. I was very proud to see Kat, Chelsea, and Danielle for running their own booths and items. Danielle even held her own raffle of two cross-stiches she did of the Morrigan and Brigid to support the Towsan Pagan Alliance (I'm probably getting the name wrong here)
Last but not least, thanks go out to Crystal, Caryn, Jack, and Shanna for representing the CLG booth during PPD and pimpin our blingin pens.
-
Hussah to Jeff and the ritual team for Fall Equinox. That was a great ritual and everybody was raving about it. The skit was awsome and Jack stole the show as Dionysus and Jeff and Crystal were 'perfect' in their roles. The fire team worked great and the flag dance was wonderful.
Hussah to everyone!!!!!
WooHOO!!!
-
and pimpin our blingin pens.
Oh you did not...
Renee
-
Holla at ya' boy!
Jim for taking command of the lawn mower.
Jeff and Will for cleaning up the sanctuary this morning and placing all in its proper place. Also, for helping with torch moving and chair set up to ready for the Tuesday evening workshop.
Will for sweeping Dun Elphaim and stacking the fire wood.
and to toot my own horn ...
For cooking an awesome breakfast of scrambled eggs and veggies, cleaning out the fridge, doing lots of dishes and cleaning up the foyer to prepare for the workshop. ;)
-
Hussah to Chelsea for setting up the Vedic talk tonight. It sounded like a new take on an old concept. Interesting.
-
Thanks so much. I was just in the right place at the right moment. :)
I have bound the documents and made a CD of the materials so we can have it in the CLG library.
I did an extra copy for the OHF library as well. I will mail it to them, unless someone will be seeing any OHF folks in the near future.
-
Hussah to Chelsea!!!
Also, can I get a copy of that CD???
Their website was interesting but there was not much on the research he talked about. I still did not find the link for hearing the chant. I made a copy of the brochure for my coworker, she said it reminded her of things that they no longer do in India. She is also interested in hearing the chant.
THANKS for arranging this!
-
Hussah to Chelsea, Will and Caryn for braving the weather helping to clean out a culvert at Ft McHenry. Its didn't start to 'really' rain until just as we were leaving.
-
The supplies including a cd with the chant can be purchased from Copperworks in VA. http://agnihotrasupplies.com/
I can make another copy of the cd for you. :)
-
I found this research page, http://www.agnihotra.org/science.htm

I wanted to throw out a huzzah to Chelsea and Caryn for organizing the organic decorations workshop this past Sunday. Though we found out how annoying popcorn really is to string up, it was a lot of fun :)
-
Huzzah to Chelsea for not only organizing, but being the main proprietor of the Adopt A Family charity. Huzzah also to Caryn, Crystal, Kat and the stranger who gave money to buy gifts, for their donations as well. (If I forgot someone, I apologize).
I'm somewhat disappointed in the lack of Grove involvement in this project, but I know the economy is tough right now. Lets not forget the less fortunate.
The bake sale made between $50-$60. Huzzah to all the people who made WONDERFUL dishes. I'm sorry the fundraiser did not make -more- money, but it was certainly a fun experiment :D

Jack also gave a very generous donation to Barnes and Noble.
Renee made scarves for the family.
My sister (Cindy Howard) gave the wrapped box of food, a few small gifts and 1/2 of the cost of the winter coats.
Everyone added something in for the food.
Thanks to everyone. It was definitely a success.
