Blessed Ostara!

And it was indeed! It was perfect equinox weather... sunny, beautiful, raining cats and dogs, and then, just around midnight, a small blizzard kicked up, lasting about twenty minutes only to disappear without a trace.

And the herbs we planted last year are all happily showing their green. Valerian, mint , and others.

Ostara

New life, new beginnings. The outward spiral that began its process at Yule, is now in full swing. It's beautiful. The lengthening days, the stirrings of life. Such a joyous time.
