Today is Lunar Imbolc. It is the new moon - and the one nearest to the festival of Imbolc which is a week away. It is a time to gently move out of winter....spring is somewhere around the corner - although the sun is getting stronger it still feels cold and dark. So I am trusting that light and warmth is returning.
It is a time to plant all those seeds of ideas I have been dreaming all winter....what do I want this new cycle of the year to bring? What do I want to see grow in my life? Imbolc always fills me with a new wave of being creative. Maybe I can feel all those bulbs getting ready to push through the cold earth into new life.
I will light lots and lots of candles; a fire outside would be better, and maybe that will happen this weekend. Until then, I am sitting quietly with these new dreams; I have been looking at my small front garden, wondering if there is enough space there to squeeze in a greenhouse, and a couple of raised beds. Looking out the window, all I can see are big, ripe red tomatoes and pots and pots of basil. Maybe the odd pepper plant. I don't think I can bear to watch any more of my lovely tomatoes die in the garden this summer, under a deluge of rain. So a greenhouse or polytunnel is the answer I think. Hmmm. But how to get there??
