Well, weāve had a week ofā¦ some minor winds 
for the most part, lots of clouds 
& overcast days, along with everything from a drizzle to steady rains 
No thunder or lightning though, so not as much fun 
I also wasnāt able to make any more Storm Water, but I think for right now Iām doing good. 
I use the weather as a guide to how I am going to do things in my house & sometimes just to feel the energy & recharge my own. I love to feel the wind through my hair & as it blows through & around me. I watch the trees, plants, & water & how they interact with each other. Itās common for us to sit on the couch during a storm & just watch out our bay window. Or sit in the back of my car with the hatch up & listen to the rain & watch the āriversā it makes going down our street & how they flow with ease & keeps going as it works through the blockage it may have come up against.
The sun 
is a huge source of positive energy for me & productivity. Just for a break, I would sit on my back porch in the sun where it comes across our backyard & we get direct sunlight for about 6 hours as it moves through its daily path over our area. Feeling the wind with the sun refreshes my outlook, energy, mindsetā¦ just everythingā¦ the brighter the sun, the better I feel.
With that in mind, since we did have a very overcast & dreary week, I have been using my diffusers to change the āweatherā in my home. While there are overcast & cloudy skies bringing in daylight in a gray sense, I have been using scents in my diffusers to brighten the rooms & just bring a sense of lighter energy & happiness to our days. Of course, during the week, itās mostly myself at the house & it works to keep me from getting to down & out where Iām napping most of the day.
In our room which is also my sacred spaceā¦ for the diffuser there I have been using:
- Lavender
- Lemon
- Chamomile
In the one that I have in our living room that also has an open way to the kitchenā¦ I have been using the Florida Water diffuser recipe from this post:
Itās been a while since I made it on the stove top, but I think I may do that this week. Probably on Thursday.
So far there have been no complaints & the people that have come to the house have really enjoyed the scent mixes in the diffusers & the feeling in the house when they are inside. I bring the good weather to my home now when we have extended periods of gray & dreary days. 
I do have Moon Water, but I also make Storm Water & store it in an old brown glass bottle that my son had found me on a construction site where they were digging a foundation. It didnāt have its own cover, so I use a piece of plastic wrap that is held on by twine & a key hanging from the twine. Iām going to see if I can find a cork that will fit the top. Also on my list of things to do 
I use the Storm Water mostly as part of an offering to the Morrigan 
when I need to meet with Her or connect in any way during different things that come up in life. I add either a couple of drops of Dragonās Blood to it or Calendula & Hibiscus water to it for the deep shade of red it makes or I use it just by itself. I do have a couple of small pieces of Clear Quartz in my Storm Water & my Moon Water bottles. Normally, I put them out under the Full Moon 
but I didnāt this week. We had a busy week!
I did get to watch & see it in different aspects of the sky & took some pictures as it was becoming full through its changing over about 3 or 4 days. Last night I took this one where itās not completely full, but looks really good in the sky despite the cloud cover we had:
