Be “Brave” with the Princesses this Midsummer!
Last year Jax and I built a mini-Stonehenge for Midsummer (aka Summer Solstice) using paving stones in my backyard. It was a great project and a nice celebration.

Dear Wife of Pagan…

The Moon in Astronomical Proportion
I admit it. The moon is always in astronomical proportion. *grin* Because it’s an astronomical object. Get it?! Ha ha…ha. Okay, it’s not that funny. I promised to tell you about this event a few months ago. Come Saturday the moon will be in greater proportion than normal, 12 to 14% larger and up to...
