Name Day/Spring


We celebrated First's name day today, as well as, Kinder's belatedly. First and I went out into the morning to snip some crocuses for the table. We both murmured, "we should snip some chives, too" at the same time. The chive butter was delicious on the nisu (Finnish cardamom bread). First was a bit miffed we didn't celebrate in bed as we often do.


Later in the morning we headed out to B pond with friends to celebrate the Spring Equinox. What a marvel it was to return to the pond. It's the same pond, but it looks strikingly different with the changing seasons. Our friend Broken Wing was there, as was a log in the water that First always looks for.

Happy Spring, all.
