I still can't find all of my essences. I am missing my Perelandra and Alaskan Gem Essence sets. I love them, they are great allies, and they are missing. Perelandra's Garden Essences kick ass in a way all their own, and the Alaskan Gem Essences offer stability and structure unique to the crystalline structure of gems, connecting us to the Cosmos and ourselves, opening doors and firming the ground beneath our feet. I miss my friends.
I was sure I had narrowed down their elusive location, and set off to the storage yard to rescue them. I opened every box in that container to no avail. I found herb books, beloved information. This is the same container where my perennials are overwintering, and the moisture from the soil is raising the humidity in the container enough to soften cardboard and penetrate my books. AACK! Not my books!
Today I am happy for Colorado's semi-arid climate. I'll be removing those plants in a few weeks, and with frequent trips to the container, the humidity will equalize. Eventually.
