^{Sweet lovers love the Spring.  Imbolic was just a week ago .   And now it is five weeks till The Spring Equinox.   Can't wait!!!  This area of New England has been hit with frigged cold and wind and some but little snow cover.   Our industry here in The MT. Washington Valley has been hit pretty hard as well.   Our industry is Tourism and skiing, snow boarding and snow mobiling.    So, you all can see why we just do not have a good year all the way round.   We Wiccans are survivers though.  And most of us come from strong wills and minds...We seem to just go along with what ever Mother sends us.   I am sure that the Lord of the wood suffered a littl over the last three wks with this aweful cold ...But not to fear The Sun is warming and soon the buds will push themselves up through the frozen ground.  And then all will be happy again...or so we hope!  Brightest blessings...}
