#crossquarterday — Public Fediverse posts

This will be one of our very first (non-woody) wildflowers (someone else beat them those pics to come!)- nothing open yet 3 days ago, there could be by now, I'll check again soon... I love the early leaves anyway- Caltha like many plants has extra red/purple pigments in the emerging leaves- this may help them withstand the inevitable cold nights or even days after emergence!

I think the #CrossQuarterDay was a few days ago- mid-point between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox. The Latvian Metenis /Meteņi often called the 'Waiting for Spring' is today Feb 06. Masking, feasting, bonfires are usual things, among others- blog post here: https://cohanmagazine.blogspot.com/2021/02/waiting-for-spring-metenis-new-and-old.html
This year I'm just going to spend some time outside- maybe do a little altar? cookies later, and it might be an excuse for treats on the weekend..lol
A Blessed Season to all!
