I welcome the beginning of the light half of the year at Mid-Spring, Beltane, the most lighthearted time of year. It’s been a busy time in the garden, we are already eating spinach and herbs. Things have been planted in the greenhouse, and some things outside. For this short quarterly Mid-Spring Studio Update, here are captioned images of activity since Mid-Winter. Most captions have links to stories behind the topic.
