I'm in zone 9, and currently the signs of spring are showing. We are just finishing our mushroom run (aka, my boyfriend and l went foraging, we wanted to see if we could find mushrooms. We did find and harvest 2 specimen, but none worth eating. 9ne went to our Domovoi, and the other went on one if my alters.
After glancing at my journals from last year, it seems l also went foraging last year around the same time. I'm amused that I can build upon my seasonal urges to make new traditions to try out next year with purpose.
Tomorrow I will clean up my alter spaces and see where the day takes me. Idk why l share these thoughts, but I am. If you're reading this, have a good one.

It was very nice
in the last two days, today, I didnt even wear socks for quick runs outside. The Cardinals are singing up a storm, the Groundhog made a first showing, the Juncos begin to leave, and I have planted some tomato and okra seeds (inside still). I am also keeping an eye on migration forecasts, and things look very promising for the coming weeks. Here are two handsome male current regulars, showing all their colors to improve mating chances.

Taurus is known as the peaceful bull and being an earth sign is associated with many spring-like attributes or metaphors. Taurus is the forest, wildness, Gaia, wildflowers, roaming and content cattle, sturdy like a rock or tree, grounding, and compared to the beauty of nature. Below I expand more about the sign and its relationship to spring.
Despite being a fixed sign Taurus has qualities of growth, typically slower growth based on careful decisions. They embody stability and perseverance. Their routine, predictable, and dependable nature echoes what it takes to be the "managing, passive, or continual" energy of spring.
Spring is a sensory-rich season, marked by the sights, sounds, and smells of new life. Taurus individuals, ruled by Venus, the planet of beauty and pleasure, are deeply attuned to their senses. They appreciate the sensual delights of spring, such as the vibrant colors of blooming flowers, the sound of birdsong, and the scent of fresh rain.
Spring can be a busy time for many, but the nice weather and freshness can inspire relaxation and artistic pursuits which the indulgent and creative Taurus loves. Taurus individuals feel a deep connection to the earth and its rhythms, finding solace and stability in natural surroundings. The natural world helps recharge their energies.
Taurus is a sign that avoids conflict, tries to keep things calm and realistic, is warm, appealing, and welcoming. Much like spring's reputation for nurturing life, gentleness, and tranquilness, Taurus expresses themselves through an earthy lens.
Spring is a time to embrace warmth, light, color, and beauty. Taurus individuals appreciate life's simple pleasures and loves good food, drink, and company, many enjoying outdoor gatherings, picnics, or leisurely strolls in nature.

Look how yellow the willow buds are! On this date in 1993 there were 3 feet of snow but this year it may as well be spring.
