SPRING FOR JOY!!

Start your engines people — it’s the first day of Spring. Well, it is in the northern hemisphere. The world is now balanced between light and dark, day and night, and it’s a time of fresh green sprouts, buds and eggs and fluffy baby things  –  new beginnings. Even the bears are awake, stretching, and looking to a new day.

I think this is the time we really should be making those new year’s resolutions. It’s more natural to start afresh at this Pagan time. The earth’s rhythms are right. The light is right. We’re done with hibernation. It’s time to move.

Or is it just me?

My Path: 5 km at a speed walk (knee handling okay)

My Music: Just the birds and the brook. And some crows — I just can’t count their squawks as bird song. They’re awfully excited by the melt at the moment  … lot’s of strange looking things suddenly to be found to eat, and fight over. Noisily.

   Well, here in Finland spring is about a month too early. It might sound great, but it’s not good news for saimaa ringed seals and their pups. And I have seen some small butterflies flying around already.

   Spring? Oh yeah, last two weeks of March and first 2 weeks of April. Then Summer madness.

   I woke up to +1C today. You KNOW spring is coming when that happens! And I saw my first gopher the other day.

   Congratulations on the run!

   Minna — you guys have had a crazy year by the sounds of things. I hope it’s not a sign of things to come.
