:: geranium ii ::

The deep, rich red of this velvety climbing geranium is one of my favourite colours and it feels like the perfect flower today in what is a completely full and rich day of activity.  
The weather has gone ballistic from rain and wind to warm and balmy with sunshine to now a crazy storm of heavy rain, thunder and wind, wind, wind! 
The moon is full today and in the Northern Hemisphere it is Springtime, bringing with it the celebrations of Easter...
...something I definitely can't quite get my head around - a Springtime rite in our Autumn.  While we have pumpkins, corn and a multitude of fruit and vegetables ripening and are busy harvesting, our hens moulting and not producing any eggs, somehow we are supposed to celebrate rebirth and Spring themes with bunnies and ...eggs!
So this weekend as well as remembering the Christian festival of Easter, we will also be harvesting pumpkins and corn, making a pumpkin pie (because I've never made one before!) and some raw chocolate , ahem, Easter bark!
