We started the festivites yesterday by creating a beautiful center piece for our table.
We rolled salt dough into bee hives.
We then put these on a pie pan and inserted some local, palm oil candles. Then we adorned it with rosemary from the front garden. Simple and beautiful.
Nykki and I then got to making the making dinner.
We made Brigid bread which was a modified recipe of the Brigid bread from Circle Round (we used spelt instead of wheat and rosemary instead of basil).
We also made the Sunshine soup from Circle Round and modified it by adding some of our locally harvested mushrooms from this season.
It's warm rich color reminds us that spring is near!
Some light candles, some warm soup and fresh baked bread are complimented by a yummy green salad with raw cheese, cucmbers and tomatoes.
We woke up to a snow covered scene. The forest around us looks as though Brigid dusted it with large clumps of powdered sugar as she passed by.
This morning we ate a hearty Imbolc breakfast. We started by juicing the blood oranges that my Mommy sent us :) I love my mom! She is so thoughtful! The bright red color was the perfect enlivining way to start out our snow frosted day!
We stacked up the peels seeing how high we get them.
We ate Brigid bread and drank raw milk along with our blood red juice.
Next we painted with the pulp on water color paper!
Here's mine
May the cloak of Brigid blanket you in it's shine and warmth. Tuck down near your hearth and rest, for spring is right around the corner. Blessed Be!
