Living Seasonally: Spring Edition

"Spring work is going on with joyful enthusiasm."  - John Muir Hello Friends! It's been awhile since I've updated you on life and provided you with some new content and let me just say I have been busy over here at my homestead! So here is a little update on my life... the first weekend of March I celebrated my birthday with a small group of friends. I spent all day and evening Saturday cleaning my place from top to bottom, only taking a short break in the afternoon to celebrate with my family. They traveled to my neighborhood for a visit, presents, and lunch. They made my cleaning day really special. I am so blessed and grateful to have them as my family! After what was a wonderful weekend I took a couple of days off work to relax, visit my local zoo, and get a massage... which was way overdue. I've also been working on a few commissioned projects, these projects have been keeping me constantly busy and I've been doing my best to keep up with my herbal studie...

Why am I finding it so hard to like the rest of society? I am a  genuinely nice person. I lend a helping hand when I can. I work hard. For the most part I follow the rules. But I will admit I bend them every now and then... So  let me elaborate. The other day I was walking along the street after just getting my coffee and breakfast. I passed a gentleman walking in the opposite direction, I gave him a smile (as I do to every person I pass). He simply just kept on walking with a smug face. Wow, kind of soul crushing. Is this how we want to treat other people who are being kind to us? No wonde...
