Easter is an interesting day to me. It's a mixture of many holidays combined into one. But I have to say, my favorite is the candy.

The souls come and whisper, they swirl around like they're caught in a wind, they look for peace, they want solace, and I can't-

Spring comes quickly. Kore will come back, and then what use will I be?

Is your mother needing help with the spring planting? I know it's early, but I'd love to plan on being there if possible.

The Worm Moon is approaching. The last moon of winter, and I for one am looking forward to it. The Fulcrum Moon, the Full Crest Moon, the Full Sap Moon. Winter slips away with one last gust, ushering in the spring. Life springs forth, and soon the trees will be green again. I'm so ready for it.

The days grow colder, finally, but the nights are shorter. Spring is, whether we want it to be or not, in the air. I can't wait to breathe the warm sun again and spend hours in the garden with bare feet.

Iasion and I are working on gardens throughout the city as part of our mortal lives. However, we are also planting medicinal herbs in each garden. If something happens, find one of those places and you should be able to heal minor wounds or illnesses quickly.

I've been doing a lot of holiday landscaping. People are really into light displays. So tell me - are you a fan of white lights or colored lights? Why? Personally, I like white lights for inside and colored lights for outdoor displays, but this is a very hot topic among my students and clients.

My husband has been returned to me. I am... over the moon with joy. He has invited me home for the Thanksgiving holiday to meet his mortal parents. After we return home, would you and your family be amenable to dinner so we can all meet - or, well, re-meet, as the case may be?

[Friends/Family - literally almost everyone so feel free]
With everyone speaking of Thanksgiving and making plans for the national holiday, I would like to cast out my first invite to my friends for my Makahiki celebration. It is a Hawaiian Thanksgiving, or harvest festival, and I wanted to share that with everyone.
It is normally held on New Year's Eve, but I was thinking it could be early December instead. Historically it is a four-month festival, but we shortened it to a day to reflect the similar holidays of the US.

Texts to Jason Baxter:

- Do you want to have that drink tomorrow night?
- I'll even promise to wash the dirt off of my face.

Zeus
It's Hades.
I'm sorry you're a dick and I made you cry.
Seriously, are you 12?
I'm sorry.

Demeter
You were right.
The past can't be changed.
Truce?

Cerberus
I heard you are in need of a good scratch behind the ears.

Makaria
I would love to see you soon, if you have time.

Persephone
I love you.

Siblings
Guess who's awake?

Zeus & Demeter
I still hate you both.

Do you have an empty space that you think could be a fruitful garden? I'd love to come and teach you how to work the soil. You could be growing your own food in no time. You don't need a huge yard or a greenhouse and you don't need any garden know-how to learn how. I know the harvest season is on us, but it's never too late to start learning. And if you want a greenhouse, I can help you design one of those as well, so you can have fresh food straight from home all year.
