You have just passed the old Celtic fire festival of Brigid, when the returning light makes itself felt.<br /><br />* Penny you are right. The harvest is bountiful in its own way, and the plants have responded well to the watering. I love your poetic phrase: 'fruit of the soil spirit of the soul.'<br /><br />* Friko, it sounds as you are having an incredibly wet season. Glad you enjoy seeing the harvest.<br /><br />Thank you Hilary, Penny and Friko, good to see you here.Juliethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01542985048406828693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078877172139600813.post-91813124471689074912014-02-05T12:08:29.560+13:002014-02-05T12:08:29.560+13:00I’d gladly let you have some of our rain.

For me, it is encouraging to see the fresh vegetables from your soil. I hope that watering perked things up for you.
