Time Lost

Hello mortals, I am Demeter, goddess of agriculture. I have a daughter named Kore, who was taken from me by my scoundrel of a brother Hades.

[ceresxdemeter]

how do you feel about your children?

I care about all my children, and I love all of them, even if it seems like I focus all my attention on Kore. 

[ceresxdemeter]

Would you like some grain?

  Mm….

I turned into a serpent for goodness sake to hide from his advances! I turned into a horse to stop Poseidon from coming after me but that didn't work either.

[the man approached camp as his motorcycle stopped and shredded dirt  under it’s wheels, he looked towards a figure and smiled under his helmet] Did you miss me? 

[the-king-poseidon-blog]

[ceresxdemeter]

Not really, no. I didn't even notice you were gone.

[goddessofmarriage-blog]

  Oh don’t worry, this is how I treat all of the hundreds of people my husband has slept with.

[ceresxdemeter]

How many times have I told you, Hera, it wasn't my fault! I tried to run from him, but he cornered me.

Such a nice way to welcome your sister.

  Water can’t be found everywhere. There are many locations where there is no or very little water, or it isn’t clean enough to drink. If you’re caught in the cold, you can light a fire, or find a building to warm up in.

[ceresxdemeter]

What about that one man that was killed in the Alaskan wilderness? He couldn't build a fire, or a building. He went to Alaska all by himself, and it ost him. 

[persephoneinspringtime]

  I don’t think so. Heat kills just as fast as cold can, sometimes even faster. And it’s easier to protect yourself from the cold then from the heat.

[ceresxdemeter]

I believe it's the opposite. There's water to help cool down people, it can be found everywhere. If you're stick in the cold without proper gear, you won't have good luck finding any.

  Any season can kill people, mother. Hikers can be killed in rockslides in the spring. They can die of heat stroke in the middle of summer. Winter isn’t the only fatal time of year.

[ceresxdemeter]

Yes, but winter is certainly the worst and most harsh. Ice and snow can cause accidents and cracked skulls. It corrupts people, and can give people hypothermia and they'll turn cold and die. 

[persephoneinspringtime]

  Nothing grows, but the snow is gorgeous. Everything freezes over and it’s like a whole different world. I prefer Spring, of course, but I love Winter too.

[ceresxdemeter]

It may be gorgeous, but it's cold, and it can keep people from life. It can also kill people. It breaks people. Spring is a lot better, yes. My favorite, everything comes back up after the heinous winter. 

[persephoneinspringtime]

  Mother, you love any season where there are plants and harvest involved. But fall is beautiful. And I love winter, with all the snow.

[ceresxdemeter]

Really? Winter seems kind of dead to me. Nothing grows. I think Winter would be my least favorite season.

[persephoneinspringtime]

  If you like it, it’s not really work, is it?

[ceresxdemeter]

Oh, no. Not at all! However, I do love fall. The leaves changing color, the weather gets a little chillier, and pumpkins and squash and I love just love it. 

[persephoneinspringtime]

  Yes, I’ll have to do that as well. Yes, I understand, mother. You’re very busy during those seasons. You can’t get out of it. That’s good. Everyone needs a bit of time to themselves.

[ceresxdemeter]

Yes, I am. But I like doing my job, so it isn't terrible. 

[persephoneinspringtime]

  It’s gorgeous. Hephaestus did a great job. It is. I’m sure they’ll be thrilled that you’re here.

[ceresxdemeter]

I'll have to compliment his work next time I see him. Yes, I sure hope so. I've been busy with the spring and summer seasons, so I haven't had time for much of anything. With fall and winter it should tone down a bit. I can get some relaxation.

We trimmed a few shrubs and planted new flowers. It did involve hitting a few campers to get the job done but we did it nevertheless. It wasn’t hard though. Randi and I love getting our hands dirty.

Hey mom. [Katie smiled]

[ceresxdemeter]

Well it looks beautiful, darling. Sometimes that's what you have to do to get things done. Hello, Katie. *smiles* How are you? 

[persephoneinspringtime]

  I have been. Camp is beautiful, and I’ve gotten to see Katie and Randi.

[ceresxdemeter]

Yes, it is rather nice, isn't it? Oh, well that's wonderful, dear!
