3/20 Vernal Equinox/Ostara




We started out with grand plans to celebrate spring with some other families. Then I came down with some awful plague that I didn't think anyone should have to share. So we kept it very simple at home. A few decoration changes and a trip outside in the afternoon to hunt for signs of spring.....we were so excited to actually find some growing things!!
Our decoration changes included the gel window clings and the new spring panels of our calendar. We have one of these Eco-Logical Calendars and have really been enjoying it. It has the year divided into seasons instead of individual months and includes all sorts of little facts about constellations and things happening within the earth as well as moon cycles. It was exciting to pull out the new panels and start reading.
We didn't get to changing over our nature table yet on friday. Alex had a vision in his mind that included a yellow drape and we didn't have a yellow playsilk or other fabric at that point and I just didn't have it in me that day to find the white silks I had and the stuff to dye it.
