It's been a busy Easter weekend but lovely warm weather.<BR/>Today is chilly again. We spent a couple of hours this morning taking the tour of granddaughter Jasmin's Middle School which she'll attend come Aug. It was very interesting and the school orchestra performed in the auditorium for us! Then on to lunch at Panera where Bob broke a tooth on his sesame bagel, and grocery shopping for supper - salmon on a bed of Le Puy lentils with spinach and a nice Caesar salad.<BR/>Thanks for the e-card, we were both thinking alike!<BR/>Hope all is well in your corner of the world - warm hugs, Mary.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02147410299194282171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-88510949671163422.post-81382096601133077042008-03-24T08:08:00.000-06:002008-03-24T08:08:00.000-06:00OMG!!!Julie 18 comments!!!You are super famous now...OMG!!!<BR/>Julie 18 comments!!!<BR/>You are super famous now!!!<BR/>I thank you for this smart and delightful post.couragetocreatewriteandlovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06649184939312099888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-88510949671163422.post-54622544590993523662008-03-24T06:31:00.000-06:002008-03-24T06:31:00.000-06:00Hi Julie, we already had snow yesterday and today,...Hi Julie, we already had snow yesterday and today, a white Easter weekend ; ) I have put some pictures on my blog.<BR/>Thanks so much for the great info.<BR/>Have a great day !!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-88510949671163422.post-17160297731963649022008-03-23T22:06:00.000-06:002008-03-23T22:06:00.000-06:00Happy Easter Julie of Bubblewick!

I probably told you last year that this is a special time for me, as the Baha'i community celebrate Naw-Ruz in common with the Iranian holiday too, so we've been feasting and enjoying one another's company. My Persian friends grow plates of sprouted wheat to decorate for this holiday, and it's beautiful.

Are you getting that 9" of snow you talked about? Out here it is a mixture of snow, sleet, ice pellets, rain. I'll take the rain - had enough of the snow already!<BR/><BR/>There was a car that went through the ice here recently. Some guy decided to drive across from the pennisula to the main land, beside the ferry route. The car went through but he made it out fine. He was 2 times over the legal limit...I have no idea if his car will be pulled out after spring thaw?<BR/><BR/>I'd sure enjoy spring a lot more if there were SIGNS of it somehwere!!Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11256567414059449423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-88510949671163422.post-63804710434152545462008-03-20T20:23:00.000-06:002008-03-20T20:23:00.000-06:00The Celts and early peoples recognised these chang...The Celts and early peoples recognised these changes in the year, as they were vital to their survival.

I too especially love to think of the deeper meaning of the beginning of the seasons. Since I have read this post late tonight I will take time tomorrow to "celebrate" and use the coming of spring to think about balance in my life. Thanks so much for the story of this time of the year.
