Your evocative garden brings back to all of us the ancient need for cyclic revival. Hallelujah! I worship in your spring garden.<br /><br />Thanks for a lovely reminder of why May Day is special, and of how Celtic traditions still figure in our modern world.<br /><br />Slán, Erin O'QuinnErin OQuinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00113229623866154645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796549149529669896.post-1826370938851596032012-05-01T03:04:41.482-07:002012-05-01T03:04:41.482-07:00Wonderful post!

What a wonderful world to live in where you celebrate things such as spring and new growth. I think of my husband who has been planting vegetables like crazy and we will no doubt be feeding the neighborhood this summer. <br /><br />Bless you in the new warmth coming to the earth.Paisley Kirkpatrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06401039126457210324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796549149529669896.post-50358431451808016002012-04-30T19:40:26.837-07:002012-04-30T19:40:26.837-07:00Lovely picture and summary, Colleen!

The lambs are up and running here; calves and foals are not far behind. We are lucky to live so close to nature, but even in the cities people hear the voices of flowers. I will toast you and my other friends at my Beltane bonfire! :)Miriam Newmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05105724854045409335noreply@blogger.com
