A comment to John the other day. “My favorite people are really weird!” It is true. With other souls who have a skewered outlook on living I am the most comfortable, the most at home.
Am I wrong

Happy Birthday to our irrepressible sister Linda. I miss you.
I miss your goofy garage sales, your awesome car, your love of thrift stores. I miss your love, your understanding, your heartfelt wish to make others happy.
I miss you as my confidant, second mother to my daughters, my happy-go-lucky camping companion. You always made me laugh, and drew me into adventures to places and activities we maybe should not have gone. Sarah still calls our camping weekends therapy weekends. Not because they were therapeutic, but because 
she swears she needs therapy for them to this day.
Before you passed, you told me that you would tell me what happens after and you did. And you continue to send to me small little missives, like messages on a carrier pigeon. Sometimes just a smell, or a word I see written that brings your smile to my eyes, and your laugh to my ears.
Yesterday I was pulling some books from my shelf, and out fell a birthday card that you had created for me many years ago. Were you reminding me that I need to prepare for your birthday, or just saying hey? Once, in the middle of a snow storm in Minneapolis WMT blasted from my radio for just a minute. What the heck, I had just been thinking of you. And of course the dream you sent shortly after you left. (the dream) 
I smell the scent of greenhouse flowers while driving down highways. That started after as well. I am not sure why I associate this with you but I surely do.
So yes, you have taught me, loved me, and I continue to cherish you. I wish we could really talk, catch up, go thrifting, visit corny parks, and live in each others moments. I miss that part of having you here.
Happy Happy Birthday my sister. Continue to enjoy your life beyond.
May Day

As a child, our Mother helped us to craft small construction paper baskets, to fill with wild violets. We would take these, early in the morning, and hang them on the door knobs of our friends houses. She also baked coconut macaroons, just then, for that day.
I loved these traditions, and now, understand the offerings, the macaroons for blessings, the flowers to represent spring moving into summer.
We sort of have forgotten this day, as we have many things that I remember from child hood.
Well, here is my basket of flowers for you! Happy Beltane, one and all! Blessings on you!
Happy First Calendar Day of Spring!!!

Happiest Day to you all! It is not yet calendar Spring, and yes, tomorrow it will snow. I however always believe that today. St Patty’s Day is my start to Spring. Whatever comes, snow or sleet, I can feel Springtime in my soul!

No Second Saturday this month! Sadly my co-conspirator, Mara, has fallen and broken her wrist.
We have rescheduled for March 22nd! I hope to see you there!
