I was just thinking and writing about this too. Everyone talks about Tennessee's "little winters" (Blackberry, Dogwood etc) which can sound a like an old wives tale but is actually a result of data collected by people from these types of historical observations.
I'm glad you enjoyed seeing them! This will be their 5th year using my barn as a nursery. Much more to come after a successful hatching, fingers crossed.

So true! If your writing on this is available, please link it here. I'd love to read and share it!
This post reminds me of a concept I learned about for the first time last year. In the ancient Japanese almanac, there's 72 micro-seasons, which are 5-day seasons centered around natural cycles of animals and plants. https://www.kyotojournal.org/uncategorized/the-72-japanese-micro-seasons/
Brilliant!! Thank you for sharing this. Can't wait to read more about it!
The vulture family! 🖤

I’d do a lifetime of successive master’s degrees too, if I could! Would make good material for a memoir. :)
Absolutely!!
I love all the resources you provide.
I'm so glad! That's one of my goals...to curate resources for curious readers. 🙂
