Naked Gardening & Mating Cicadas

Forest Fairy Festival is less than two weeks away! And I am feeling the vibe. I am feeling so supported by a rich community of incredible leaders and facilitators and loved ones who are leaning in and offering their gifts to make this event happen.

And I can feel the pulse of spring - the soil is fertile in these hollers. When I walk outside, I can hear the binaural drone of the 17 year cycle of cicadas, known as Brood XIV. These creatures have been down in the soil for 13 or 17 years. The nymphs feed on tree roots! Then they emerge en masse to molt, mate and lay eggs. What a life!

I also got to have a gardening date with my honey a few days ago. And of course I got naked while I planted some seedlings. Here are two fun videos for premium members.

I hope you all are out and enjoying this wild spring in some way!
