I can relate to some here--as the Wheel-of-the-Year has turned and the days begin to lengthen--it is still Winter in my heart.
For the first time in 12 years--I did not plant my Seed at Ostara--because I am in between homes and still looking for a place to plant it.
Last Ostara I went off of my property (for the first time) and planted my Seed in the Forest--because I knew my property would sell before the close of the Wheel (at Samhain).
I thought that I would be purchasing the property where I have been living for the past 7 months--however--it has proven to be a weigh station (instead). I may (in fact) have found my new place this morning--wish me well!
In any case--I know that I will pack away my Yuletide table coverings and knick-knacks as I pack my boxes and move to the place where I will plant the Seed for this Wheel--better late than never...I will know when the time feels right--until then I guess I will continue to hover in my current holding pattern.
I think it must be similar to the way you feel up North--waiting for the inevitable thaw of Winter's chill...
Everything happens in its own time and not always according to our schedule.
Peace and Love on your path to the Spring Garden...
Blessed be...
