That's right, it is the official age of Aquarius as of this February. Jupiter has aligned with Mars, the Moon is in the seventh house, peace will guide the planets and love will steer the stars... We will wait and see...
That was not what I had in mind when I started this blog. It sort of came out in spite of me. What I wanted to share was that spring is nearly here. The crows are cawing every morning which means the temperature is going up. The Cardinals have come out of the Bush and a pair of Red Headed Woodpeckers have been seen. This leads me to the hardware store to get myself some spiles, as this year I am sugaring! Yes indeedy! It has been a long time since I put the sap to the fire but a taste of homemade dark maple syrup got me all fired up so I have been watching the signs and the sap is starting to rise. Milder days and cold clear nights are another indication that the sap is on the up and up. I will treat myself to proper buckets this time as the lids save a bit of extra work . Only two as the tree is not in the best of shape and I don't want to stress her too much. There won't be much just a couple of mason jars if I am lucky but who cares. I get to be out in the garden doing something when everything is still a frozen mess. Me and the chickadees can celebrate the end of winter and the start of the best season of all. SPRING!!
