Stirring of the Seeds and some to share.

Celebrating Imbolc with the sowing of seeds.
A story to get us started, some songs and poems.

Loving his shouts of joy, as he sees, carrots, tomatoes and flowers, lots of flowers.
Which to plant ?



His little hands so very carefully sprinkling the cress seeds.


Covering them to keep them warm.


And pictures of what we've done to show Daddy later.



Celebrate the coming of Spring with us.
We have some spare packets of seeds to send out.If you would like a pack, please leave a comment.
We'd love to see a photo on your blog of you planting the seeds with your little ones.

Book Sharing Monday at Imbolc

A mix of books shared with O today to match the time of year.

With frost filled mornings, more snow forecast and chilly evenings, Spring still seems so far away and yet those brave little buds pushing through the cold earth in my garden, tell me different.
First snowdrops spotted, last Thursday, promise Spring is not too far away.


The sun is gaining strength, days are slowly growing longer and the seeds are stirring.

We breathe deep, the new freshness in the air.




And so we celebrate with song, dance and ritual, encouraging Mother Earth to awaken again.

We light candles to match the spark of life, just beginning again in the ground.
Filling ourselves with this new energy.


We dream dreams of things to come, of adventures unfolding, promises of starting anew.
Allowing ourselves to truly acknowledge all that we are and all that we can be.
Everything is possible.
Blessed Be.
