Crow Feather Giveaway Mo 2004
To celebrate the Summer Solstice my friend Eva and I walked to the magic cave at dawn to give our crow feathers in gratitude to the Spirits of Place
Magic Days!
The garden is flourishing here at Dunmovin
the xmas wreath is on the front door
& found Bronwyn Berman’s Xmas Banksia Pod in the box of xmas decorations
come in and have a look around!
Magpie by Irene Manion & ceramic xmas decorations by Dotti Dauter
Rake enjoys sharpening his claws on the old lounge, have a bit of patching to do before my friends arrive on Monday!

It’s nearly 6 months since I moved into Dunmovin and have never felt so happy and settled in my whole life. The garden is a joy & Rake makes me laugh every day with his wild ways and devilish grin.
Roderick’s music and all the good memories accompany me when I am out bushwalking, such good soul food. Have made new friends and feel very much a part of the community, I love being a Blackheathen.
Best Wishes for 2024!
Peace Love Hope

Fly Free beautiful lady
I planted this Dicentra spectabilis syn Lamprocapnos spectabilis aka Bleeding Hearts to honour a dear friend who left this mortal coil on October 31st.
Wild Heart, Fly Free!

“Fish Out Of Water” by Dorothy Filshie
Remember that old feminist slogan, “A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle?”
Well, I am feeling so chuffed with working out how to tighten the chain on my bicycle today. Went online, watched some YouTube how tos & did it! Haven’t gone for a test ride yet but cleaned & oiled the chain, checked all the nuts and bolts and polished her up. The chain was getting so loose it was going to fall off so it was either work out how to do it or find a local bike mechanic because when I had it serviced at the Lekker shop in the city I was without wheels for 2 weeks!
Free is looking very happy after all the TLC
I have been drawing and stitching blue butterflies of hope since talking to a dear friend on the phone up in Far North Queensland about the Voice referendum, every time we mentioned the word Hope a blue Ulysses butterfly circled her, this happened three times!
& out in the bush the Waratahs are spectacular!
Let it Go and Let it Grow for the Spring Equinox
Posted: September 23, 2023 by Mo Crow in It's Crow TimeTags: magic, Spring Equinox
To celebrate the Spring Equinox this is a magic place where my friend Eva and I meditated this morning on what we wanted to let go
in the small hours I wrote out the lists for my Old & New Sticks to attach to dried stems of Honesty
then bound the Old Stick to Let it Go and the New Stick to Let it Grow
our Old Sticks were buried to Let it Go
New Stick planted to Let it Grow
“Love is lovely, Let it Grow”
