Just some Spring vibes I wanted to share. Took a walk and had a mini pinic adventure.
Spotted this friendly neighbor in the greenhouse we always stop to visit...
I decided to be a good neighbor and pay the troll toll for good luck. 🍀
Greenery and blooms popping up all around.
🍓🍓🍓 patch loving the weather...
The bees are loving these blooms...💙💙💙
Someone left their Easter festivities behind. No matter, finders keepers! One or two might come to live in my Color Museum.
I also find teeny tiny Slender Salamander hatchlings. Like seriously tiny... they barely have tails!
An adult Slender Salamander in the upper left corner. Little hatchling in the lower right corner is barely larger than the ground beetle. Sooo tiny...sooo cute...🥰

The rise of Spring & Starting Fresh
I noticed that a lot of resources about the magic of spring take a very cottagecore-y, whimsy vibe and yeah that's charming and all but it doesn't align with my own experience as an apartment-bound, night-owl, city rat.
To me spring feels almost painful at times. Like stretching out your limbs after sitting in the same position for too long. It makes me a bit anxious and restless as I'm waiting for it to settle fully.
There is always this back and forth between winter weather and spring for a few weeks, and I can feel it in my bones. A very uncomfortable time of transition that keeps everything up in the air.
But when it start, oh does it feel exhilarating! The slate is cleaned, feelings that I felt were gone rise again in my chest, my brain is bubbling with projects and ideas. Desire blossoms like a wild flower, I notice the unique beauty of all beings and fall in love at every corner.
The spirit of adventure lights up, and I want nothing more than roaming the streets to get drunk off the scents of the foliage mixed with the warm pavement, to explore my city and see it in a new light as the days grow longer. The nights aren't so cold and threatening anymore, the air is welcoming like a soft blanket. It is a foretaste of the summer to come, full of promises of the memories I'll make. Life is good and sweet again.
This sudden rise of energy can be life changing if embraced fully, because it's the opportunity to let go of the struggles experienced during winter and welcome a fresh start.
There was a time where I did magical rituals and celebrations to honor this moment in time, and there's definitely beauty and meaning in that. However, this year, I just want to open my heart to it and harvest this energy with simplicity, nothing more, and I think that's enough sometimes.

— Много ли надо для счастья?
— Иногда достаточно просто Весны!
И ей так сразу захотелось танцевать, рисовать, делать, что угодно.
Обновить гардероб,
написать песню,
позвонить всему миру одновременно.
Украсить серые дома цветами, картинами, включить музыку.
Классику, рэп, рок – всё вперемешку.
Здороваться с прохожими и спрашивать у них: ”Как дела?”
А на удивление: “Что с вами?”,
отвечать: “Весна”.

Hagging Out: May [🍵]
"Infusions"
Not so much an infusion, more of a base: my newly collected rain plus storm water of this spring season.
Moon water can be added for charging, vinegar can be added for cleansing, rusted nails can be added to make war water for cursing, herbs, dirt, and rocks can be added for protection, other types of water can be added for various spell work, the possibilities are really endless.

Listen. Go pick some flowers. Pick the ones that are gonna get weed-whacked or mowed this afternoon or tomorrow morning. Dandelions, Johnny jump-ups, ground ivy, whatever. Compliment their beauty and thank them for growing just in time for spring. Put em in a vase or a little cup or something. Arrange em nicely. They won't last long but they sure do look nice for a day or two and you'll feel good about having them inside where they can be loved and appreciated instead of being destroyed without a thought.
