The Vicarage is a vital space right now.

herbs, flowers, trees and critters are waking up from their long winter’s nap with the promise of new life.

The elders and the youngsters of the household are discovering joy in the newness of life.

Our newest batch of chicks, black austrolorps, are awaiting the day they can burst out of their brooder box and embrace the warm earth.

And they are not the only ones. We have spent the winter preparing for the birth of the Vicarage’s newest human, my grandson. My youngest daughter’s youngest son will be born in June! I can hardly believe we are suddenly so close to the auspicious day! 

WHAT JOY WILL SPRING BRING TO YOU?
