Happy Spring!!


Happy Spring!! 

We’ve had some wonderful days of celebration to welcome Spring even though here in the North we still have mounds of snow.   The Vernal Equinox is a time when we Gnomes gather together in a special way, rejoicing with singing and dancing and delicious food.  It’s such a glorious time!  This year we even made snow angels, which is not how we typically celebrate the arrival of spring!

Usually by this time the wild crocuses have awakened from their winter sleep, stretching their green beings just far enough to peek through the thin layer of snow to adorn the meadows with their magnificent blue-violet blossoms.  Each spring I look forward to their arrival along with the return of the robins, which are sure signs that spring is truly here.   For now, I send little messages of encouragement to the crocuses (and the robins) telling them to be patient while the days warm and the last of the snow melts.  Sometimes we too need such encouragement, to wait with patience and trust while something is trying to bloom in us.  Everything has such perfect timing!

I’ve received many questions around the subjects of “work,” “play,” “school,” and “family,” among others and will be speaking to these in the days to come. 
  
                                 Sing…Dance…Rejoice…
                          Be patient with your own blossoming…  
                                                Celebrate Spring!!
                                                   
 
With Love and great Joy,
                         Peder and the Gnomes
