We're enjoying the equinox (or Alban Eilir in Druidry--a festival that sort of explains the bunny/egg thing in Easter traditions) here in Northern California with a spot of rain, and more storms are looming on the horizon. I know, I know, I shouldn't complain--other folks are getting some serious weather still! But the showers bring the flowers as they say, and here in "the chosen spot of all earth as far as nature is concerned," (according to Luther Burbank) nature will put on an epic display soon!
Luckily I'm working from home today, so I get to enjoy the showers while actually having some natural light and a view of them (at the office I work in a gray cubicle where I'm under florescent lights--yuck!). And my dogs are curled around my feet, soon to be insisting that I walk them (the rain is no excuse to skip the morning walk mom!). Dogs are the best.

As I sit here taking a short break from work and looking out at my happily blooming jasmine, I'm also thinking about the future. Spring is a time of rebirth, of freshness and new life. I'm already looking forward to spring cleaning (yeah I actually like cleaning...especially when I can listen to an audio book while doing it)!

Stuff to consider
- Do you enjoy spring cleaning?
- Are there signs of spring where you live? Or maybe you're in the southern hemisphere and it's fall for you?
- Is this good for the company? (Sorry, more Office Space humor)
- What does spring represent to you?
