    I celebrate by buying tulips and daffodils and irises and by dancing
    around my apartment with joy!!!  I also send HAPPY SPRING!!! messages
    to all my friends and telephone the wiccans, who celebrate outdoors
    regardless of the temperature!

    That's great having all those spring flowers. They are sooo nice... 
    I looked at all the different ones coming out. I'm forcing my own
    tulips this year. I got to bring them indoors on the first day of
    spring. I started late..at christmas..they have to be cold for a number
    of weeks. I think I'm going to buy some easter lillies.

    Hi
    
    I'm working with seeds from flowers saved from last year - columbine,
    lupine, etc to get them sprouted for this year's fun. Here in NH it's 8
    weeks 'til last freeze, time to get flower babies underway.

    of year.

    We celebrated ours late this year, due to some complications that
    hapened the day before vernal equinox, and my best friend flying in the
    Monday after.  On the full moon we did celebrate the eclipse and had
    the kids out banging pans to chase "the dragon" from the moon.  
    
    We paintedTamara's mom's barn during that week.  (People who live in
    C-springs may know the barn on T-gap and fillmore) and filled the house
    with real and silk flowers, as well as cleaning out the barrels in
    front and putting more silks in the barrels until the snaps, pansies,
    and sweetpeas come up.  this year, we combined Eostare and the equinox
    with families and friends with a large meal on the 30th, lots of
    thingies for the kids and generally enjoyed the fact that spring is
    springing here.  
    
    Of course, today we have had flurries on and off and have had the
    woodstove going.  How typical of early spring.  Birds nesting and
    calling and early flowers one day and wet, cold snowy days the next.
