Tu b shvat just passed. It’s the Jewish holiday celebrating the birthday of trees. There’s snow on the ground where I live, we still celebrate and plant seedlings in the spring to follow up. I just like trees and it means spring is around the corner which is nice too.
OP was zen on an individual level. This was zen on a communal level 🧘
It’s like how I spend the winter months thinking "Oh yeah, winter was a thing we used to have
I’ve always done something like this, and it was odd to realize most people have no clue about nature’s rhythms.
For me, it begins in Spring with the song of the robins, and slowly transitions into red-winged blackbirds singing their song in the wetlands. That eventually dies out somewhere during early summer and I get really depressed. After that all I have to look forward to is the call of the flicker in the late evenings.
Did this motherfucker just politely tell me to touch grass?

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
Sorry, yeah. 72. And a Brit wrote a book translating them to his version. So maybe look there?
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.
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.
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”.
Y’all got any more of that spring? I’ll take your
cheepcheeps, too.
If you’re interested in doing this did yourself I recommended looking at the Wheel of the Year
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.
I had one apartment where every summer a countless hoarde of swallows would take up residence :)
