Spring equinox, full moon, thawing ground, budding trees, nesting birds, spritzing rain. It's not a sunny day but it beckons none the less. I've walked barefoot in the grass and across the muddy paths as I greeted the tender green shoots pushing through the soil in all my gardens and random spots of the lawn. I thought to have a fire outdoors tonight to honor the full moon and greet spring but rain and potential storms seem against it. So I burned sage and sweetgrass on the front porch. I carried a bundle of smoldering sage as I walked the perimeter of our land picking up stray limbs and twigs blown from the trees by the heavy winds that roared through last week. Winds of change! I am happy to say good-bye to winter and step into the spring season. Eager to be in the gardens plunging my hands into the soil looking for the established and planting seeds for new. Ideas crowd my mind for this new year of gardening. I'm eager for the dandelions and bees. I'll know spring has settled in and life is unfolding when those two precious things appear.
