Vermont is exploding with spring beauty. Batman pruned one of our lilacs last year and this year it is putting on quite the show. It’s covered with blooms and the buzzing of bees. I read somewhere that you can infuse water with lilac florets, and so I tried it. I pulled about 1/3 cup of florets from the stem, put them in a glass of water, covered it and put it in the fridge for about 6 hours. I strained the water from the flowers and now I am sipping a most delicately flavored water.
These past few months have been quite the challenge, but loose ends have been tied off and soon I think I can write about it a bit more. I feel like I’m getting out from under such heaviness. And now my life is full of ideas and possibilities and it’s all centered around devotion, simplicity and beauty. I look forward to sharing some of it with you here, friends.
I hope you are well and open to the joys of the season.
