Spring strollSpring is a season of beginnings. Birds are returning in great numbers to fill the forest with new songs. Creatures of all sorts emerge to bask in the sun. Trees are full of buds and the fresh green of new growth. Wildflowers are only just beginning to grow from the recently unfrozen ground. Or maybe there is a half metre of snow still covering the ground. Who knows? The fickle unpredictability is part of the excitement of this season, as we gradually trend towards increasing warmth.

The sun hangs high over the crops planted earlier in the year and tended to with great care ever since. This year's young are making their first flights, hops and runs under the watchful eye of their parent.

Our crops are gathered and transformed, be it by preserving, fermenting, drying or otherwise - to last the colder months ahead. Many of us gather together to feast and share the harvest.
