This little wooden sign also seemed appropriate; it was a gift from my mom to her spring baby.

Happy Ostara, and happy 21st birthday to me! I celebrated both events by... doing homework and going to class. Such is the life of a college student. I did get to go out to dinner with my mom and my roommate, though, so that was fun.

Hiking with SIPA
There were only a few of us today, and it was a bit chillier than expected, but it was still a lot of fun to meet up with some friends from SIPA for an afternoon hike.
This area has loads of parks and trails and state reserves - I've been down here for school for three years and I've barely scratched the surface - so both of the places we went were new to me.
Our first stop was a local arboretum.
There were a lot of pine and cypress trees.
We saw some ducks and a turtle out on the pond.
Apparently, there is also a bamboo forest, which was beautiful, but which was rather surreal because of how out-of-place it felt. There were old sandstone blocks strewn about, perhaps from a long-since gone house, and little tunnels running through the thick bamboo grove.
We also went over to a second, smaller hiking trail which featured a creek (mostly dry at the moment), lots of shelf fungus, and birds including cardinals and a red-headed woodpecker.

I rearranged my altar this morning and got it set up for Ostara!
I used a different scarf for an altar cloth (very handy if, like me, you have quite a few scarves), and then set up my many glittery egg and/or rabbit-themed decorations. It's both festive and colorful!
This afternoon, I am going hiking with SIPA; pictures to follow!

My design studio took a field trip to the mall yesterday (our next project involves retail design), and of course I couldn't go to the mall without stopping at Earthbound, so...
...I bought a baby cauldron! It's a small, cast iron piece with three legs, and it was on sale for half-off. I've been eyeing them for a while, so I'm glad I waited to get one until they were on sale.
I also got this tiny leather-bound book. It was on clearance, plus I got another discount, so it was less than $1. I'm going to use it for recording sigil ideas in.
