walnuts and frog

Yesterday was Imbolc, and though we didn't realize it at the time, we managed to celebrate in many ways.
Krista and I watched spellbound as a huge flock of robins swarmed the trees in our backyard, right overhead. There must have been 40 or 50 of them flitting about and devouring the privet berries. Most unusual.
Our friend Meredith brought by a dozen little eggs from her banties--another wonderful omen of Spring. And India made a fire, down at Jon and Lux's house! Very much in the spirit of Imbolc. We went for a moonlit walk with the girls coming home.
Today we shelled a bowl of walnuts that Eden and I had collect some months back. Our neighborhood used to adjoin a big walnut orchard and there are many beautiful old walnut trees here and there. There are also many happy crows who feast on the walnuts.
