Spring!!!!

Oh, thank the Goddess, t'is spring again and the green-budding life surrounds me.

We had a really lovely Ostara here at Dragondale (my home and covenstead for Coven Lunasun and FireDrake Grove) just last Saturday.  About 25 folk, including two small boys, celebrated in the Great Grove, sharing seeds, soaking up earth and tree energy and singing.  Afterwards, of course, there was a Great Feast with warm casserole, home-made quiche, breads, salads, cheeses and fruits ... yum!

Here is a little poem I  wrote several years ago in Honor of Spring:

Spring has come on quiet feet

She moves up close to take her seat _

Greets each of us in our own time

and stirs the source of inner rhyme.

Blessing with her secret rush

Her stance bespeaking summer's blush,

See Her now, upon each hill

Coaxing eyes to every sill;

Calling gentle, firm and true

Come dance again the whole year through.
