Around the Wheel

Monday, dreary, rainy-first full week of school for the kids

An excerpt from my pregnancy journal:


We began trying for a baby at Imbolc and conceived at Ostara.
I'll carry you through Beltane, Litha, Lughnasadh, Mabon, and Samhain.
You will be born right before Yule.

So I conceived in late spring,
Carried you through summer, late summer, and fall.
We'll welcome you and snuggle you through the winter.

And you'll learn to sit up with the growing flowers,
perfect your crawling on the sand at the beach,
and walk on unsteady feet by the hearthfire.
