Lovely Spring Rain

Today we received 1-inch of rain, just enough to water the garden and trees around our home. The ground-cover I’m encouraging is very happy - glowing with new green growth.

I spotted the first tiny blossoms on the tomato plants today! They are all growing vigorously. The tiny lettuces are struggling a bit, I’m sure they will enjoy the warm weekend that is forecast.

This morning I saw that all of the fir trees have sprouted tips of brilliant spring-green. The new growth looks as if the fairies have decorated for Beltane with green lights gracing the trees.

As it rained outside, I cleaned inside, dusting and rearranging the various altars throughout the house. I’ve planted the seeds of many new beginnings this Spring - the coming season will be very busy, indeed.

I hope you enjoy sharing this adventure with me.

Blessed Be,
Julie Epona

Tomatoes blossoming? I am jealous of your earlier spring. I think I will get some set out next week, and that's with "walls of water."
