Lunar

This is the time of the lunar new year. This begins the Chinese Year of the Snake. It is a wonderful time in the Northern Hemisphere. If you attend to the changes in sunlight across the span of the year, you will become joyful in mid-February when the sun's brilliance is noticeable in early morning. The sun feels warm on the skin, even on cold days. The promise of Spring is renewed. It is time to look at seed catalogues. It is time to plan gardens. It is time to enjoy and wonder at our blue planet.
