Dear Friends,

Welcome to my very favorite season of the year! In my fantasy life I would travel the globe and only live in places when it was springtime, moving on when the first hint of summer appeared. There are many reasons I love spring, including the abundance of beauty that nature provides, which never stops astonishing me: the green of new grass unlike any green, the delicate flowers that bloom only during this season, and baby birds poking through their shells to a waiting mama. Unlike the energy of the New Year, spring energy is new in a different way. Rather than shedding our previous year's experiences and wanting to start fresh, spring ushers in the feelings of new beginnings and new ideas.

It is because of all this new creative energy that we turn to our homes, wanting to give them a fluff. After a long winter indoors we are ready to open our windows, bring in a bouquet of tulips, clean house, and rearrange furniture. Often we feel that by giving our home a good cleaning we are starting with a clean slate or leveling the playing field for our life. Have you ever noticed how much more relaxed you are when your home is clean and organized? When the hard work is finished I feel a sense of satisfaction, even if I didn't enjoy the task. (Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't!)

Out in the garden I start to think about what seeds and seedlings I will plant for my summer cooking garden and look forward to the fun I will have with my son when I watch him pull the first green beans off the vine. My cat and the horses I ride are shedding their winter coats, and the late nesting birds swoop in to make a nest made from horsehair. It really is a magical time on this planet.

This month's online course offerings are all about home, garden, and the animals in our lives. Below I have highlighted several courses within these categories that you may find helpful or interesting.
