Memorial Day

I drive by this marker regularly and am both perplexed and curious. Perplexed about why you would even put up a sign if you don't know who is buried there (but apparently this has least 116 precedents) and at the same time curious about who they might be. I guess Memorial Day "Decoration Day" is as good as a time as any to remember whoever they are.

Beltane

My Beltane fire at sunrise included three 25 year old Chinese Chestnut trees, the old back porch, fallen limbs from the winter and spring and sundry other combustible scraps. It was a big, but orderly fire. Now we I have to start a new pile for the Summer Solstice.
