Hello, March. We’ve already started moving into “spring cleaning” mode and dusting away the cobwebs of winter and that shall continue as this month progresses. I find it extremely satisfying to deep clean and reorganise a space, it’s a freeing experience for the mind and soul. You are mentally and physically decluttering.
We’re ready for Lady Spring to begin to fully come into her own this month. Nature’s signs are all around us that spring’s pending arrival is upon us. We’ve already spotted snowdrops and purple and egg yolk hued crocuses dotted around on our strolls. Frogspawn has filled a favourite pond almost to the brim and we look forward to the hundred of tadpoles that will soon be swarming in amongst the lily pads.
We’re ready for more sunshine filled days with a frosty crispness in the air. We’re ready for the start of Lent and the season of reflection that walks in tandem with it.
We’re still chilly here and will be for awhile yet, so we look forward to eveningtide where we sit over a hot cup of tea with lemon and honey and share a few cookies between us while jibber jabbering away.
We’re ready to keep the records spinning and dance in the kitchen while we make dinner. We’re ready for St. Patrick’s day and the “Wearin’ ‘O the green” and my Nana’s Irish soda bread flecked with juicy golden raisins and caraway seeds that will grace our table.
We’re ready to continue to embrace the seasons, enjoying the riches that each gives us. Welcome, March, we stand ready with open arms for all that you bring.
