the spring equinox
the balance of light and dark has tipped and we now face lighter, warmer days and in my sacred garden, almost overnight the forsythia started to blossom and the yellow loosestrife is now coming through the soil.
the white currant and blueberry are putting out green and my elder is putting out ver dark purple leaves.
over my nook the rambling rose has started to put out new shoots and the leaves on the climbing jasmine have finally died and are falling off with the help of the new shoots that are growing.
the lavender that grows in pots out the back and line the garden path out the front are putting out new green shoots
looking out of my kitchen window the cherry in the front suddenly has small green buds and as i dressed this morning ma and pa siskin were sitting in the garden enjoying the sunflower hulls before the starlings woke up.
we have had some very warm days here in this ancient forest...too warm for the time of year but it seems to be the norm now...for spring to start very early and be very warm...actually make that hot for yesterday we put the little clock/themometer from Pretty Pagan into the sun and it hit 90...too hot for me...
i think its time to get out the factor 30!
this morning started out grey and cloudy but as i have been typing the clouds have cleared and today promises to be another hot one~today we are having to move a few plants to make way for the the grrl-cave and i am hoping we can make a start on digging the hole for our wildlife pond!
well i shall stop here and before i shut down for my own 'essence' time i need to print out some music for the tin whistle...but more on that next week!

Lovely down here too but not so hot! love that your grrl-cave preparations are getting started, can't wait to see what you do with it. Happy Springtime to you too!
ooooh...i love hearing about how your garden grows!!
and clearing a patch for the grrl cave!! *squeeeee*
my pride and joy is the black-lace elderberry i bought on sale late last year and i'm SO thrilled to see the new buds forming...it was in a bit of a desperate state when i 'rescued' it so have been calling forth all powers to have it survive the winter.
ooooh...and a pond too!!
can i wander over for a pot of tea and sit in your garden?
xoxo
Spring Blessings to you and yours too!
Isn't it gorgeous though the weather? I just got used to it it last April and could go out anytime of the day, when it cooled down considerably!
Have a great week,
Sandie xx

Isn't it lovely to see all that new green. I am just taking a break from gardening, getting some bulbs and herbs in and moving some plants, too.
Gardening is just my thing :-)
Belated blessings to you too lovely one *H*
We have not had the heat here on the coast, lots of sunshine but still cool, probably more in keeping with the time of year I suppose, but just a tad more on the thermometer would be nice, lol.
