The Willow trees are the first ones getting their leaves. They are like chartruse oasises among the brown leafless parts of the landscape - not just for their color, but they also generally indicate wet areas. They thrive near ponds, streams, boggy areas and underground water. They are treacherous to septic systems because their powerful root systems seek out the water of the septic field and clog it up. They are extremely fast growers, and you can make a rooting hormone by soaking their twigs in water. Their life force is formidable. It is ironic that they are a symbol of sadness and death. Maybe they are a comforting image of the power of life.
And on that note, I will say it: we did not get our mortgage.

SHIT! hun Im so sorry. You know things happen for reasons, but it must be so disappointing! so sorry - my thoughts are with you.
Oh, that totally, totally sucks. I'm so sorry. But I'm glad to see that you're taking solace in the fact that Spring is finally making itself known. Things happen for a reason. I really believe that. Love, M
Thanks for all of your kind words.We are trying to make the best of it - I picked a rune that said something like, "when the water gets deep, become a good swimmer" so that's what we are going to do.
Christy, I'm really sorry. I'm totally rooting for you (no pun intended on the willow thing) all the time, every time, and at some time it'll be the right time...::sigh::and a hug, too.

I had a dream last night that you bought the house and it had all sorts of terrible problems. You were eaten alive by the mortgage and the repairs, and it affected your relationships with one another as a family. And then it burned down. You told me not to buy a house and that you wished you had bought land and built your own house instead. I awakened thinking that the dream meant that I was supposed to forget buying a house and instead pursue my original goal of communal living.And now I have come to read this... and I wonder, what did my dream mean?
