I love how Easter is so connected to the rhythms of the Earth...I'm not certain how many folks know that it is a lunar holiday...celebrated on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the vernal (spring) equinox.

History (not herstory) is kept as a record of wars...sorry, I'm a tangential thinker. But, we should respect and care for our elders...and love our children...and share, our work and our play.

As I sit staring out of the window in the woods, birds flutter by...Veterans' Day 2023
