Are you sure it's March?!

Today, I spent some time outdoors, barefoot and coat-less! The sun was shining, the ground felt warm under my feet, and the air FELT like spring! It was 65 degrees today in Michigan! A temperature usually reserved for late April. I opened the windows wide, shut off the heaters (yes, our furnace is still broken), and spent the day cleaning the house. I could not believe what a glorious day today was! Strong cold winds began to rip through the streets around 4, so it was time to close the house up again. But the sweet scent of fresh air still lingers in the house with the promise that there will be more of these wonderful days to come.

Days like today make me realize how closely connected to the God and Goddess I really am. I didn't just experience a great day, I was allowed to experience the changing of the seasons. Something most people take for granted. It's easy to miss, I'll admit it. I'm always happy to see the brown grass turn green and the leaves explode into view. I realized today though...I don't really pay any attention to the change. It just seems like all of a sudden *poof* it's spring/summer. This year, I've actually paid attention to things going on outside of my own little world. And all I can say is WOW!! All the little things that I usually miss or just don't pay attention too seem to have so much more significance this year. I've noticed the small tufts of grass popping up and turning green. I've watched in awe as the tree across the street from me sprouts tiny red buds on the tips of all it's branches, waking up out of a season long slumber.

I cannot wait to be able to get out and start preparing my herb garden bed and the other pots and containers I intend to use for a garden this year. My activity is somewhat limited so I am trying my best to get everything done before the baby arrives. I may even grow a faery garden this year.

Ostara is coming up rapidly, I have no idea if I will be able to do anything special this year. I am going to have to keep it simple. The pregnancy is taking its toll, especially, going into this third trimester. I will have the Ostara information up on the Sabbat page sometime within the next week. My goal is tomorrow, but things tend to change quickly with me ^_^ .


Blessed Be My Friends!
