Now, Spring Equinox
Night and Day are equal length
Mother nature's Earth
Flower dancers twirl,
Bees seeking jasmine nectar
Welcome, lovely Spring!
In March, on the day of the full moon,
the Hindu people celebrate the
FESTIVAL OF COLORS
to welcome Spring.
to welcome Spring.

throwing colored powder onto each other,
They partake of a drink made from cannabis powder
(no wonder they are so happy!)
It would be so fun if we could all have a Festival of Colors to welcome Spring.
At my house, we are having our own color festival.
With just one participant.....isn't she just so pretty?
Ms. Wee
May you be gifted with all the colors
of life,
colors of joy,
colors of happiness,
colors of friendship,
colors of
love
and all other rainbow colors you want to paint in your life.
