Light overturns darkness today, and I’m glad for it. We now have twelve hours of darkness, twelve hours of daylight, and it’s growning lighter every day. I’m feeling it in my bones, feel life returning to the earth with every passing day. I’ve been growing restless, wanting to do something, wanting to create, wanting to grow, wanting ot change, wanting to live and laugh and breathe fresh air and see the sunshine again.

Spring is here, though where I’m at, it’s still in its early stages - freezing hard at night, but drifting slowly into warmer days. This time next month, I’ll have a brood of chickens and will be planting potatos and lettuce and chives, and a month later, all my seeds will be in the garden, hopefully beginning to sprout.

A month after that, and I’ll be regretting it all as I struggle through hot days and the drone of the air conditioner and a scant few hours of good sleep every day as I try to keep the house cool enough that my body doesn’t mind sleeping through the sunshine.

But until then, I’m soaking it up.

Did a tarot reading. Celtic cross, the new deck A gave me for Christmas. I gifted oats and milk (okay, okay, half and half… even better!) to the garden plot, and dug up a bit of dirt for the altar. It’s still pretty frozen, so I’ve gotta let it thaw before I can do anything with it.

The sun’s just coming up, and I’ve gotta go to bed now, get a few hours of sleep, and drive to the big city to keep my mother company. Grandma goes into surgery today, and I’m gonna be there for a night to keep her company. Must remember to bring my knitting - and lots of it.
