After many months of planning, yesterday was our Michiana pagan picnic at Oxbow Park in Goshen. It was a soggy day but the rain was deeply needed and it brought cooler temperatures at the end of a pretty hot week. Despite the rain, and perhaps because of it, we had just over 50 attendees...not bad for a first-time attempt to reconcile the breech in the pagan community. The fellowship was great!

Last night, we had a PNO at the local Barnes & Noble. Turn out was great, for an early February meeting. I really enjoy our friendships and the laughter kept me jazzed for the rest of the evening.

We set the date for Ostara--March 15th at Edgewood. I enjoy hosting the group--it seems that my house and property is just the right layout for Sabbats. Once it gets warmer, we can have Circle outside around the Mother Nature altar (stump of a hundred-year-old cherry tree that is full of…
