Totally. I think it’s useful to have agriculturally based holidays for this purpose. Even if they’re ultimately detached from their original purpose (i.e. I don’t really need to know when the time to plant trees comes around), it’s useful to have these celebrations with seasonally specific rituals to mark the passage of time.
You need to look at the Japanese 52 seasons calendar.
Very intrigued. I found 72 to be the number. Gotta figure out how to convert the events to different locations
Climate change is messing it up, but it’s still a good idea
Yeah - a few years ago I moved to an area where the Robins returning meant the start of spring. They were here last week.
If you’re interested in doing this did yourself I recommended looking at the Wheel of the Year
That sounds stressful to me. Like I don’t have enough to worry about without wondering where the fuck the birds went, or remember to water the magnolias.
Today I heard bird noises when I woke up. I hate spring, and somehow we don’t even get birds that actually sing instead of voicing a monotone “cheep cheep cheep”.
I had one apartment where every summer a countless hoarde of swallows would take up residence :)
Last night I stuck all the major meteor showers into my calendar. I’d gone outside and seen stars and remembered how l much I love to see stars and I rarely stargaze nowadays. I’m going to make more of an effort, especially for the seasonal meteors.
