A time of Renewal

Easter Sunday, I have always thought it a time of renewal, new beginnings and joy. The long hard winter is nearly over and we are watching buds, sprouts and thinking of planting. My gardens still need much work to clean them up after a long winter. Today women friends and I spoke of seeds; heritage seeds that we will plant; some harvested from last year and some new this year. As we lunched over home made, home baked and home grown food we talked of newness. It was a feast fit for queens, and we were for a few hours. It felt like a day of complete renewal for me. It was rich. I am deeply grateful for my life, health, family, critters, friends and many blessings.
