Adelaide and I wanted to give Emmylou a blessing for her half-birthday. We like to bless each other, our home, and our family using the plants that grow in our yard. We always make sure to ask their help in blessing us as we pick them and add them to our bowl. Here is what we gathered for Emmylou.
We also made her a sweet crown, much like the ones we made on Solstice. We made it from lavender, mint and sage, then added some flowers to make it match her dress.
She was such a pretty girl! Then when Myles came home, we all came out on the front lawn and sat in a circle. We light a candle, and each talked about what we wish for Emmylou in the upcoming months. We wished for good health, lots of giggles, and many other things. Adelaide wished for her to have mama's flip-flops???!!!
We then blessed her with our special tea, made from the sweet plants and fresh air in the yard, and when we were done we buried the plants in our garden to help it grow healthy and strong, just like what we wished for our baby girl. (We are total crazy hippies....I KNOW!)
