Many of us gathered yesterday to do a Sunday May Pole over
in Bodega Bay, a small town on the Sonoma coast.  This marked the conclusion of our Beltane weekend.  The coastal hills and bluffs were alive with flowers, as were people’s
yards.  A cool breeze came in off
the Pacific, but the summer fog has not yet arrived.  It was a sunny beautiful day.

A wonderful pot luck with lots of good food preceded and
followed our pole dance.  We danced
to live music, and concluded with the best weave I’ve ever seen on a big May Pole.
 We hardly ever screwed up the
sequence.  The musicians, veterans
of many a dance, were impressed.

Somebody said that indicated a good year to come.  I hope so. And I hope everyone who celebrated this Sabbat had as good a time.
