Little Leprechauns
Yesterday was 🌈 St. Patrick’s Day ☘️, on which you should wear green, lest you be pinched by a leprechaun. It takes us one day closer to 💐 Spring 🌷, when the trees join us in wearing celebratory green attire…
🌱 Budding Beauty 🌳
No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn. ~Hal Borland
After months of sleeping, skeletal-looking trees, we come to the cusp of 💐 Spring 🌷 and those dreary brambles suddenly turn green again.
It’s amazing how quickly it turns. Of course, that depends on your focus.
If you’re attuned to the signs of nature waking up again, you might take notice of the budding branches before they explode into deep green leaves.
If you’re like me and you stay in most of the time, you walk out one day to snow and seemingly the next day it’s all green again.
Regardless, this is the first step back toward my 🍂 favorite 🎄 times of the year .
In order for there to be a 🍁🧸☕ cozy harvest ☺️🥧🍂 later, the budding, the sprouting, the growing and sweetening all need to happen now.
🌳 Wearing Of The Green 🌱
Grow an OAK TREE from an ACORN (1 full year)
As much as it’s not my cup of tea, this growing green season is a needful transition from sleep to action.
That’s kind of funny, since trees just stand there being trees.
You don’t really think of them as active, but the time-lapse sequences above show an explosion of growth and motion.
Correspondingly, the warmer weather dispels the last of the ice and snow, allowing us to move around more freely.
And if you want motion, there’s nothing more energetically green than a nice 🌈 St. Patrick’s Day ☘️ parade.

🌱 Verdure 🌳
And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. ~Anaïs Nin
As for motion, I’ve been bursting with creativity lately.
I’m nearing the end of Book 2 of The Sentinels series and closing in on a thrilling conclusion to the four-arc braid that has carried this installment of the chronicle.
I’m curious to see what happens in Book 3… and I hope you are too.
That’s all for today. See you back on Saturday for 💐 Springtime 🌷
