Rounding the Year: Too Soon For Silver Birch Catkins?

My silver birch tree has new leaves and catkins. I’d normally be delighted at this sign of spring, but actually it worries me a bit because it’s a month earlier than it was a decade ago. We’re still in March, but my post for April 25 in 2013 showed the same tree in this stage of budding.  You can find that post here.

What’s in bloom in your area? Is it early or on time this year? 

Share your seasonal photos!

I recently started prompts to share seasonal pictures, art, crafts, words and other creativity. I’ll continue this over the months ahead. I’d love to encourage readers to record what’s happening in nature in various ways including photographs, journalling, drawing or painting and crafting.

Here are ways to share the things you’re doing or what you see out and about as the wheel turns:

• Leave a comment on this post about what you’re up to
• Find my prompts to share on my Facebook Page: Lucya Starza Pagan Portals Author
• Share on Instagram or X (formerly Twitter) with the tag #RoundingtheYear
  

Where to find my book

My book offers more ways to acknowledge the Wheel of the Year and celebrate the seasons in ritual, magic, folklore and nature. You can find it at estoeric bookshops and via my publisher Moon Books: https://www.collectiveinkbooks.com/moon-books/our-books/pagan-portals-rounding-wheel-year
