A dark gray camping kettle on a small camping cook kit.

The village was without power this morning, but I had to have my tea. Thank goodness for my camping gear. And it was comfortable enough to be out on my porch! Silver lining. 🫖

Reddish shamrocks in a pot by a sunny window.

Welcome March! Hail to the strengthening sun. We look for signs of Spring’s arrival.

Beautiful!

(it was a weather-related slip into a snowbank). I'm grateful nobody was driving in the oncoming lane, that my vehicle will be fine after some work, and that we're alive and well to greet the sun and sky as the month draws to a close.

White clouds over blue sky with silhouettes of tree branches.

Last week, I got into a small car accident. Bee was with me, and thankfully we're both okay. My poor car needs a nose job, though. Things like this always bring stress, but I'm mostly filled with gratitude. I count my blessings that no other cars were involved
#Gratitude

I’m grateful for sunshine today.

Whaaa! How did I forget the Paralympics!!! More to come!

The Olympics bring me so much joy. I’ll miss them until next time.

A bowl of homemade chocolate-chip cookies.

Kitchen magic with the kiddo today. Much needed.

Yesss! 💀

My husband mentioned that a local bookstore stocks my novels. His colleague was like, "Wait, you're an author?!" And my husband just sounds so proud of me. Makes my heart happy. 🥰 (Meanwhile, I'm also like, "Oh, uh, yeah..." to the colleague. LOL)

These are lovely!

So cute!

Two pancakes covered in maple syrup on a white and blue plate.

Happy Pancake Day! (Among other wonderful holidays!) Blessings to you all.

A stone circle blanketed in snow unspoiled except for animal tracks. Clouds above and trees in the background.

It’s always wonderful to visit the stone circle behind the @kripaluyogacenter. It’s especially wonderful when a dear friend invites me to snowshoe to the location after an energy healing! We greeted the stones with song and made our way around the short but lovely trail. It was a good day! #Druidry

A wonderful Adirondack Valentine’s weekend with my two favorite people. 🩷

A red rose surrounded by greenery.

20 years ago, my husband invited me to a Valentine’s Day date. The rest is history. ❤️

For real! 😅

Despite the frigid temperatures, the sun’s been out, so I also washed a few curtains and welcome the sunbeams in my kitchen! Add in some yoga, meditation, and tea, and I’ve had a healing day! 😌 #Druidry

A quiet, peaceful morning for me. I did some much-needed cleaning at home, including the long-overlooked dusting. It was also the perfect day to tidy altars.

My husband’s playing it, and it’s been so fun to watch.

Well done, Bad Bunny. That was fantastic! 💚💚💚

It was amazing!

Two grey-colored cats look on as I organize puzzle pieces.

A frigid day is perfect for staying in with tea, kitties, and a puzzle. Oh, and planning for warm-weather hikes in the future!

My hand holding a mug of tea on my lap.

Enjoying cozy tea while I watch the Winter Olympics after a gentle, restful yoga with teacher @queenbrieyoga at @rhondasfooteworks. I needed that.

This one came from artist and witch Mickie Mueller (@mickiemueller).

A garden flag against the snow featuring branches, pentacles, candles, and a Brigid cross.

I ran all over my home looking for this Imbolc garden flag! It somehow became misplaced, but I found it with grove ritual supplies upstairs in the very disorganized art room. So glad to have found it. My desire to get or make flags for each of the High Days is renewed. Blessed Imbolc! #Druidry

These are so cute!!!

May Brigid bless all with healing and warmth this night. #Imbolc #Druidry
