Plans: A_ to come get some stuff, Spring ahead
NOTE: Some good rain this morning…Donar rumbles!
Fruchtbarkeit/Saturday, we pray to Sibba, and to Ing-Frô, lighting green candles (for fertility):
Sibba, Great Goddess of Fertility and Family, wife of Donar; let us see you in all the growing things that sustain our lives. Help us look beyond the packaging and promotion, to the richness of the Earth from which all bounty comes. When ordinary eyes see only corn, let us see your golden hair hid in its silk. When others see only bread, let us see the grain, beyond that, your smile and laughter. Feed our might and main, Holy Sibba, that we may do our work in the world. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HAIL, SIBBA, as we honor the Sibba that resides in us all!
(peace, good seasons), the good harvest and prosperity: you are indeed the god of this World. When the day to day wears us down remind us of pleasures and joys. Help us recall the wonderful excesses that brought our lives into being and which sustain the human spirit during good times and bad. Without you, there would be no life and certainly little delight. Thank you, Ing-Frô, for the rushing life spirit and the eternal play of passions that make our lives fruitful. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HAIL, ING-FRÔ, as we honor the Ing-Frô that resides in all of us!

A fourth I know: if men make fast
in chains the joints of my limbs,
when I sing that song which shall set me free,
spring the fetters from hands and feet.
Interpretation: A gift (Gebo) of freedom (Os): YES!
Outcome: A bit of rain, the song of a cardinal, budding trees; yup, spring is here.
OMGs! How long has it been since I’ve made sausage gravy with biscuits and scrambled eggs with cheese? They were certainly good this morning!
Cleaned house
Separated recyclables; I actually had an occasion to use the rain gear I’ve had on a top shelf for years. It’s raining pretty seriously.
A_ reneged because of rain. Against my better judgment I agreed to leave the shed unlocked. I told her now the security of her stuff is on her. She agreed.

Called away onto campus to work on CATIA as my fellow student helper was available. I got the 1st problem of the 2nd set done. One more problem to go in that set then one in the last set. Reading here that may not seem like much, but lemme tell ya, it’s going to be a huge ordeal to get done what I need to get done in the allotted time as there are only a couple more weeks of CATIA. Nonetheless, the gift (Gebo) she gives is the freedom (Os) knowing I might actually be saved in this class.
Looking back earlier this week in my checkbook, I spent more than $100 in groceries on things I probably shouldn’t have normally purchased. I think coupons make me spend money on things I probably wouldn’t have purchased in the first place. Coupons are too tempting. I just need to concentrate on the things I normally do and would purchase on coupon; like, Tide, Dawn and pet food.
Save the computer, all clocks are set one hour forward. According to the newly set clocks, I’m heading off to bed at 10PM/22:00. We’ll see how or if the time change effects my sleep.
About an inch of rain fell today…nice!
Two shots of honey-whiskey and BOOM-BOOM out go the lights!

Wuldar, glory-god, hunting-god, ski-god, dueling-god; Son of Sibba, step-son of Donar, you glide through the snow-clad forests bringing death to game and life to your people. Remind us that life feeds on life, and that the beauty of the prey is formed generation after generation by the culling ferocity of the predator. Let your Yew-bow be the great World-Yew under another guise. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HAIL, WULDAR, as we honor the Wuldar that resides in all of us!
