Last night after I had closed this journal and posted to blog, SOCKS SHOWED UP just before bedtime.
Plans: work 10hrs
Donar, Son of Wodan and Erda, husband to Sibba, wielder of Malant and Great God of thunder, thunder forth in our lives. When we would hold back, encourage us to advance. When we would be weak, hearten us be strong. When we would shun life’s pleasures, inspire our appetites for that which is lusty and good. Excite our growth from strength to strength; teach us, elder brother, how to throw our own Hammer, and slay the giants who oppose our will. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, DONAR, as we honor the Donar that resides in us all!
Elder Rune Summons:
Born of fire, born of ice
Life is lived at such a price
Elder Runes in your way
Advise the mortal man today

Armanen Rune Summons:
Born of fire, born of ice
Life is lived at such a price
Armanen Runes in your way
Advise the Spirit man today

Havamal 159.
A fourteenth know Volkrast, the dwarf,
Sings early at the gates of dawn,
To strengthen the Aesir, to empower the Alves,
But to myself, Allfather, to gain wisdom.

Interpretation: Harvest (Jera) leading to great gain (Man).
Outcome: Socks out early to do whatever it is he does all day.
Good AM work. Yesterday, I started some parts requiring a 1-25 surface and finished them today. The problem with 1-25 is that it’s completely subjective. We’ll see if I’m right.
Home for lunch. Socks wanted out from the Cat House. Toby got his Fish Oil. Essie got her loving.
*Some rather serious looking clouds out west.
Good PM work.
*Yup, more rain. The rain is good, but it should have come earlier spring for the wheat harvest. Now the wheat harvest is in jeopardy. However, the corn crop is loving it!
