Today is the Spring Equinox, the day when darkness and light are balanced. At this time we turn away from darkness and embrace the growing light. It’s a time to plant the seeds of what we hope to harvest in the autumn – in our inner lives, as well as in the garden. To quote Michael Leunig:
“We celebrate spring’s returning and the rejuvenating of the natural world.
Let us be moved by this vast and gentle insistence that goodness will return, that warmth and life shall succeed, and help us to understand our place in this miracle.”
What inner seeds are you planting to be harvested in autumn?
“The crops we hope autumn will bring
need to be nurtured in the spring.”
Ruth's Reflections 
I think I should plant ‘forget me not’ since I was so busy thinking about International Peace Day (from yesterday) , and the rain today, and ‘what to cook for dinner” tonight, that I forgot about the equinox. 😦 Love those words by Leunig.

At our ritual today I planted sweet peas for fun and frivolity.

Oh lovely! Did you see my post, the other day, on Sweet Peas? I have been thinking of them such a great deal, lately. I should have planted some too. Not too late, I suppose.
