As we celebrate the passing of winter and offer a greeting to Summer, it's nice to acknowledge such a festive marking of time through our own Beltane celebration. For me this involves spending time outdoors, exploring, listening and observing everything going on around me.
“We too can begin a new life, one that brings satisfaction and enrichment, whether this is by singing, dancing, running through the waves, walking barefoot on the grass or making love under the stars. Perhaps your dreams are greater than this, or perhaps more conservative, but whatever they are, Beltane is a wonderful time for expressing who you truly are.”
― Carole Carlton
I observed the flowers opening up to the sun.
I peeked at all the trees and shrubs to see their beautiful citrus green buds.
I sat beneath the sun and made a wreath ...
and quietly gazed upon the ever changing landscape that has become my home.
I found joy in examining the quirky and mysterious little growths around the garden.
I nibbled on things and ...
listened to the birds dancing and flirting. It looks as though one mother is preparing her nest.
Today feels warm and full of promise. Bright Beltane blessings to you all.
Building a greener, more beautiful world one seed at a time.

The 1st of May is one of my favorite celebrations.
The first one I spent with my husband back in 1975, I hung the May basket on the door and he had to chase me. I was pretty fast back then and it took him a while!
Now, every year, he says, "I'm NOT chasing you!" Of course, at this point in time I'd be easy to catch as I can't run and he still can...
But I do love celebrating the day.
And as always, you've made a beautiful post!

This one is on this cute little covered patio we have, near the house. Its my outdoor kitchen/whatever else :) There are others from last year under the eaves of the cabin - no one has move into them yet though. There's plenty of spring time dancing and flirting amongst the birds though. Its so fun to watch them.
