Spring/summer Fun!

Now that Spring is FINALY here, I'm doing a lot more things! Starting the Morrow, I'm sanding and staining the rest of the garage and starting on the deck. Once the deck is finished, I'm going to repair, sand and stain the fence. (Last summer Janice and I sanded and stained the house and most of the garage). Come Summer's end, our back yard should look awesome!

The girls n' I are also going to plant a bunch of butterfly attracting flowers. (Aislyn just loves butterflies!)

But first, I'm starting to brewing a batch o' beer, starting tonight!

So, what are your summer plans?

As always, please reply to this Blog post, not the email/facebook message.

The Tree Hugger!

Whilst on a family walk, on our way home, Danika decided to hug some trees! A Druidess in the making me thinks, no?

It was so warm, the girls only had on sweaters and I just had on a shirt.. (+9^{o c})

Please reply to this blog post with any comments you may wish to voice.

Spring @ the Woodcock's

It is such a beautiful day here in Regina! The girls drew on the sidewalk with sidewalk chalk and now are playing on the swings!

OIMELC (IMBOLG)

I know it's over 100 days until our sacred festival of Spring, but since it's starting to get cold out there, and the snow has/is/is going to fly, let's warm your thoughts to Spring. How are you going to bring in the spring? Most of us do things like spring-cleaning; spring shopping, dusting off the sports equipment cetera. That is common stuff, but I am talking about the five areas of readiness:

• Physical
• Mental
• Psychological
• Spiritual
• Emotional

I will discuss each in separate blog entries, so you can comment on them individually. Each holy holiday the Celts celebrate requires preparation in these five areas. If any is left out, something will be missed in preparing, celebrating and/or winding down. When I mention Spiritual, I do not mean the religious meaning, but the excitement/the spirit of the respective celebration. For those who wish to make this a religious experience that can easily be incorporated into the Féis. (Féis, (pronounced Fesh) is the Irish word for festival.) I welcome comments on this topic, so please, if you have anything to say regarding Oimelc (Imbolg), please, do not hesitate. If you have any questions, please post them too. If I cannot answer them, I know people who can.
