Spend a cozy rural day in the life with me during the first day of March, in our old stone rustic tiny cottage, drinking a hot tea all cuddled up by the roaring fireplace, a good book at hand and thunder rumbling outside. Although March brings the promise of spring, it usually brings some very cloudy and rainy days, uncertain weather conditions and even, sometimes, spring frosts. But that is why we weave March Bracelets here in Greece. So join me, while I go foraging wild asparagus in the Peloponessian mountaintops, have the privilege of being serenaded by jackals yet again and admire the early flower blossoms that this end of winter brings. ------------- Chapters ---------------------- 0:00 - The logs are all wet 2:21 - A cozy rainy day 4:00 - Mischievous March 5:45 - A Humid Walk 6:53 - The quietness of the Village 7:42 - Foraging Asparagus in Athens 9:27 - Spring with the family 10:40 - On the hunt for asparagus 14:26 - Painting the Gate Door 17:03 - Sunset and evening serenades 19:59 - A well earned breakfast #Greece #CozyRainyDay #Cottagecore #rurallife
