Beltane is mentioned in the earliest Irish literature and is associated with important events in Irish mythology. Also known as Cétshamhain ('first of summer'), it marked the beginning of summer & was when cattle were driven out to the summer pastures. Rituals were performed to protect cattle, people & crops, and to encourage growth. (Today, Witches who observe the Wheel of the Year celebrate Beltane as the height of Spring.)

Special bonfires were kindled, whose flames, smoke & ashes were deemed to have protective powers. The people and their cattle would walk around or between bonfires & sometimes leap over the flames or embers. All household fires would be doused & then re-lit from the Beltane bonfire.

These gatherings would be accompanied by a feast, and some of the food and drink would be offered to the aos sí. Doors, windows, byres and livestock would be decorated with yellow May flowers, perhaps because they evoked fire.

In parts of Ireland, people would make a May Bush: typically a thorn bush or branch decorated with flowers, ribbons, bright shells & rushlights. Holy wells were also visited, while Beltane dew��was thought to bring beauty & maintain youthfulness.

• The aos sí (often referred to as spirits or fairies) were thought to be especially active at Beltane. Like Samhain, which lies directly opposite from Beltane on the Wheel of the Year, this was seen as a time when the veil between worlds was at its thinnest. At Samhain the veil between the worlds of the living & the dead is thin enough that we can connect & convene with our beloved dead, here at Beltane it’s the veil between the human world, and the world of faeries & nature spirits that has grown thin. Offerings would be left at the ancient faerie forts, the wells and in other sacred places in an effort to appease these nature spirits to ensure a successful growing season.

Some believe this is when The Goddess is now the Mother & the God is seen as the Green Man or the wild stag. It celebrates the symbolic union, mating or marriage of the Goddess & God & heralds in the coming summer months. It represents life rather than Samhain on the opposite side of the Wheel of the Year.

Other Celebrations:

• Rosealia- May 23rd

Rosalia or Rosaria was a festival of roses celebrated on various dates, primarily in May, but scattered through mid-July. The observance is sometimes called a rosatio ("rose-adornment") or the dies rosationis, "day of rose-adornment," & could be celebrated also with violets. As a commemoration of the dead, the rosatio developed from the custom of placing flowers at burial sites. It was among the extensive private religious practices by means of which the Romans cared for their dead, reflecting the value placed on tradition (mos maiorum, "the way of the ancestors"), family lineage & memorials ranging from simple inscriptions to grand public works. Several dates on the Roman calendar were set aside as public holidays or memorial days devoted to the dead.

Roses had funerary significance in Greece, but were particularly associated with death & entombment among the Romans. In Greece, roses appear on funerary steles  & in epitaphs most often of girls. Flowers were traditional symbols of rejuvenation, rebirth &memory, with the red & purple of roses & violets felt to evoke the color of blood as a form of propitiation

The First Motorhome!

Remember when things were so much simpler?  The Ford House-Car Q-dog

This is one of only six Ford House-cars said to have been made per year in the mid-30's at the Ford plant in St. Paul, Minnesota, according to an article in a 1993 "Old Car​s​" magazine.

Very few others - perhaps none - remain on the road and certainly not in such amazing original condition!

When discovered in a garage under a heavy cover in northern Minnesota in August of 2001, it had only 19,000 miles on the odometer and the owner's manual was still in the glove box in like-new condition! 

The RV had always been garaged and treated with much 'TLC' as a collector vehicle. 

The all wood lined interior was still the way it appeared in the '30's complete with framed photos of the original owner on his travels, mainly to Florida, and his cabin in the North Woods. It also had other memorabilia from that era.

The Ford House-car was built on a '37 Ford Pickup frame and cowling and was powered by a 60 horse power, flathead V-8 with aluminum heads. The rear framing is all wood, with the metal skin wrapped around it. The roof structure is all wood over which the heavy, waterproofed canvas top is still very securely fitted. The structure of the body is solid, appearing to be all oak hardwood and it's still in a remarkably unaltered, undamaged condition! The door frames are thick, solid oak as are the window frames although those have been painted over. 

This House-car was a big hit at this campground once we got that great old 'flattie' V-8 hummin'! Note the expanding roof (it's that 'extra' roof piece barely visible in the picture) and the original dark green color, which has been repainted. All four side windows open while the back one tilts out in three positions. The windshield also tilts open at the bottom for 'natural' AC while driving. Here are a few shots of the Ford House-car on the road...

Here's a look at the interior.

It's a slice right out of 1930's just as the original owner had it. All the windows have curtains for privacy and there are pull-down shades on the back window, as well as on the driver's and passenger door windows. Note the wide storage cabinet under the bed.

The wood headliner gives the 'cabin' a warm and inviting rustic feel. You can also see it has a ceiling vent and the canvas expanding roof portion visible in this picture. Four wood pieces securely support the expansion when it's in the 'up' position, while clamps secure it when it's down while traveling.

Note the cedar branches hanging in the corners to give the cabin a natural, north woods aroma. Cabinets and the aluminum sink, that includes a wooden cover insert, are visible on the left. All the antiques inside, as well as on the walls, came along for the ride. Also note the collapsible table behind the driver's seat. 

It's amazing how simple vehicles were back then! No computerization to be concerned about!

New Fargo Season 5 character portraits, via the FX website. Official character descriptions under the cut.

Dorothy "Dot" Lyon: Depending on who you ask, "Dot," portrayed by Juno Temple, is a wife and mother, a member of the PTA, a fighter, survivor or a tiger. She’s tenacious to almost a delusional fault, never giving up no matter how impossible the circumstances. Ultimately, she’s a mama bear with a lion’s heart.

Roy Tillman: “Roy Tillman,” portrayed by Jon Hamm, is one of those constitutional sheriffs, a rancher preacher, defender of the American gospel. A man who works from sunup to sundown shepherding God’s land. In Roy’s own reality, he is the law and therefore is above the law; he’s the judge, jury and too often the executioner.

Lorraine Lyon: “Lorraine Lyon,” portrayed by Jennifer Jason Leigh, is CEO of the largest Debt Collection Agency in the country, with two billion dollars in annual revenue. Lorraine is poised, regal and opinionated. She’s also a huge donor to any candidate or cause that she believes in, regardless of political affiliation (read: anyone that can be helpful to her in the future).

Wayne Lyon: “Wayne Lyon,” portrayed by David Rysdahl, has the forced cheer of a man whose mother raised him with a thick brew of disappointment and guilt. Now he owns a car dealership and three quarters of a fishing boat. A sweet guy who doesn’t match up to society’s (or his mother’s) definition of masculinity, his ideal evening is playing sock hockey at home with his daughter, Scotty.

Gator Tillman: “Gator Tillman,” portrayed by Joe Keery, is a handsome charmer, the way the snake in the garden was a charmer. He’s a sapling struggling to grow in the shadow of an oak, desperate to prove himself to his larger-than-life father in the absence of a mother’s love. With daddy issues up there with Oedipus Rex’s, Gator wants to be a winner but unfortunately doesn’t know what the word means.

Witt Farr: “North Dakota Deputy Witt Farr,” portrayed by Lamorne Morris, is the guy when you look up the word “reliable” in the dictionary, you see his picture. He splits the check down to the cent, not because he’s cheap but because he’s fair. He’s dogged, earnest and Minnesota Nice.

Indira Olmstead: “Minnesota Police Deputy Indira Olmstead,” portrayed by Richa Moorjani, is a practical woman – socks before shoes – and good at puzzles, which may have led to her career in law enforcement. She struggles to manage her finances while supporting her husband Lars and his delusional dream of winning the Masters Golf Tournament.

Ole Munch: Age unknown, birthplace unknown. On any given day, “Ole Munch,” portrayed by Sam Spruell, looks as though he could be 30-60. Some say he has always been here, blowing through the American landscape – the dark shadow waiting for us at the end of the hall. He’s carved from stone, relentless as the sea, the forces of physics don’t apply to him.

Danish Graves: “Danish Graves,” portrayed by Dave Foley, is Lorraine Lyon’s in-house counsel and primary advisor. A country club type, who has never been in a real fight, but sees himself as a winner, when clearly Lorraine is the heavyweight champion and he just holds her spit bucket.

[jocelynscrazyideas]

can you plz do anything brodie ziemer!! like fluff or something

Minnesota skies ||

Brodie Ziemer x reader

summary: summer time rolls around, Brodie finds a way to sneak you into the boat of stars to star gaze under the moonlight.

warnings: not proof read! Sorry…

a/n: finally a Minnesota man!!! His hometown is 33 mins away from mine!!

『 °*• ❀ •*°』 『 °*• ❀ •*°』『 °*• ❀ •*°』

The pink morning sunrise wakes me up, I turn away from the low lights that peak through the white shutters. I see Brodie drooling a little, I laugh and clean him up. I kiss his cheek, leaving a residue of my lip mask that hasn’t evaporated off of my lips.

I tuck Brodie in as I leave the bedroom.

~

Brodie’s parents own this beautiful home in North Oaks. It’s a beautiful house back behind the lush green trees, the lake is so beautifully preserved and the weather is never better.

~

It’s about 6:28 AM, the crisp morning air fills the house, the carpet is freshly washed and vacuumed, the walls are painted, and the windows are so clear I can see the neighbors boat garage from the other side of the lake.

I felt my stomach bend in ways I never imagined. I walk over to the fridge, gathering eggs, orange juice, cheese, whipped cream, and avocados. I turn the stove on and set down a heavy pan from the cupboard from below the sink. I place some room temperature butter on the pan to “lube” up the pan.

I finish making breakfast for not only me, but for the Ziemer’s.

The bagels are ready, whipped cream, eggs and cheese, all stuffed inside the bagels, and the avocados slide around the eggs. Yummy. I turn around to go wake up Brodie, and he’s waiting for me on the top of the stairs.

What a baby. My baby.

"Are you ready for tonight?" I'm guessing Brodie is implying the party we are throwing tonight. He smirks oddly while slowly making his way down the carpeted stairs.

He rubs his abdomen while he bends down for a kiss. I swerve to peck his cheek, and I run my hand through his hair. I push his lips towards mine and he somehow sucks air out of my lungs. I feel him pull away while he smiles. Brodie reaches for the plate sitting behind me on the cold counter-top.

~

After witnessing Brodie inhaling the bagel sandwich, i finish mine and set the leftovers in the microwave. I leave a note on the whiteboard that sits in front of the pantry door, "Breakie in the waver!"

I changed into a small bikini, im hoping ill get a good tan with this cool back design. I notice Brodie having trouble with his sunscreen, i walk over after tying myself up. "Here baby." I apply some cold sunscreen on his muscular back, and he gets mine.

We play in the cold lake, we even decided to get the boat ready for the party tonight. "Happy Fourth my love!" Brodie laughs mysteriously, he cups my ass in his hands, lifting me up. I kick my feet in excitement, then I notice that we're getting pretty close to the edge of the boat.

suddenly,

Water gets up my nose, my hair is drenched, my swimsuit comes undone. Brodie laughs from under the water. He kisses my flared ribs, i feel so young and free.

"Brodie! Hurry! We don't have all day to set up!" Momma Ziemer walks out onto the deck, i watch as Brodie gets out of the water. I tie my swimsuit back up.

I get out as well, i step onto the Star, the boat the Ziemer's got when i became part of the family a year ago today. I replace the white pillows with blue, and red ones. I fluff the white cushions up, and i wash the leather seat for the driver. After setting up decorations, plates, silverware, and snacks I finally place the speaker into a cupholder, we never use this one, we always use the one built into the boat, but just incase i alwasy bring a smaller speaker on.

~

"Baby." Brodie knocks on the bedroom door. "Everyone is here. I just thought you should hurry up on getting ready, i mean you already look so beautiful." He closes the door as he steps closer to me.

He fixes my hair, and kisses the top of my head. I feel this electric spark between us. "Okay, im coming." I wink at him.

"No, I want to walk down with you." He whines, Brodie has this spot on the floor next to my vanity. Almost like a dog bed. Brodie, being the golden retriever he is, he snuggles up next to my foot and lays down on his life size dog bed. Waiting for me as he hums a song.

"Are you upset that i didnt help you set up the Star for the fourth of july party?" He stops. The silence builds up. I feel this warm air brush behind my neck, he can read my mind. "No." I blandly answer back.

"ok." He gets up and moans in my ear, "I. Love. You." He states, and he takes my hand as i stand up.

We walk out of the bedroom and step onto the top of the stairs.

My white ripped jean shorts and my red bikini top holds my excitemnt and thrill.

"I wasnt mad, i was just confused in why you couldnt help me with the boat like you were before you pushed us in the water, but I love you back." I embarrassingly whine. I leave Brodie on the top of the stairs and welcome in the rest of the Ziemer family.

I notice all of the little girls run up to Brodie and ask for some jucie, and the little boys all gather around him to play mini sticks. The pool is filled with play pen balls that are colored white, red and blue. Ballons are tied everywhere. Almost every corner of the house has a song playing, thats also including outside and the boat.

I run down to the dock to go see the other young aduts and teenagers drinking on the boat. "Hey y/n!" They all greet me.

"Who set the Star up? It looks so pretty!" One of Brodie's cousins mention. I smile and sit down in the drivers seat. I take a red plastic cup and pour some cold "water" in it.

I walk back up to the house, a little tipsy. Im not a drinker- infact i hate alcohol. "baby?" Brodie runs up to me. He sets his juice box on the back deck right beside the pool, he held my shoulders to check me out from head to toe.

"Im fine!" i walk away as i leave a kiss on his cheek.

~

After the party, i clean up a bit. The inside of the house looks like before. i make my way to the boat. the stars glimmer over me. Brodie meets me on the floor of the Star. I feel so safe and warm. He cuddles me. I hold onto him, hoping he doesn’t throw us overboard again.

a piece i did for a class on native american history, inspired by Murder on the Red River by Marcie Rendon (more info under cut)

“She bounded down two concrete stairs and stepped out on to the green grass of the campus mall, surrounded on either side by thick stately oaks. She could tell each one had been strategically planted along the winding sidewalks between the red brick buildings. Even with groups of students sitting on the grass, leaning against their trunks, the trees seemed lonely. Nothing like the oaks along the river that grew where they wanted to grow and leaned in and touched each other with their middle branches, whose voices sang through their leaves like the hum of electric wires running alongside the country roads.” From Murder on the Red River

This piece is inspired by Murder on the Red River, a mystery novel by Marcie Rendon. It’s about Cash Blackbear, a young Ojibwe woman who investigates the murder of a Native man. Cash was taken from her mother and siblings as a young child and lived in a series of foster homes, most of which were abusive. About a third of Native American children were taken from their parents and placed in foster homes, even when they could have been placed with relatives instead of being separated from their community members and culture. Native American boarding schools, which also separated children from their families and culture, had mostly all been shut down by the 1970s (Katherine Beane), when Murder on the Red River takes place. But the removal of children to foster homes was just another way that the government tried to force Native Americans to assimilate into white culture. The Indian Child Welfare Act was passed in 1978. It set requirements to keep Native children with relatives when safe and possible, and to work with the tribe and family of children. This act has made progress, though Native children are still adopted or placed in foster care at a higher rate than non-Native children (NICWA). In my illustration, there are four trees, representing Cash, her mother, and her two siblings. In the image on the right, the trees are growing as they do in their natural forest habitat, winding together. In the image on the left, the trees have been planted on the neat lawn of the college campus, a place where white culture is dominant. The trees are apart from each other, separated as Cash’s family were torn apart. They were forced to assimilate as many Native Americans were. The trees are bur oaks, aka Quercus macrocarpa, a species native to North Dakota where the book takes place. Their range encompasses much of the U.S. and parts of Canada (Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center). The grass on the right image is Kentucky Bluegrass, aka Poa pratensis. It is invasive to North America. It was introduced in the 17th century from Europe, and is now found all over North America. It is commonly used for lawns and pasture, and can outcompete native prairie plants (North Dakota State Library). The Red River borders North Dakota and Minnesota. The Ojibwe have lived in Minnesota since before the 17th century, after migrating from Northeastern North America over hundreds of years (Minnesota Historical Society). The shape of the Red River traces through the image, weaving and intermingling through the branches of the trees, showing Cash’s deep connection with the land she is from.
