Tomorrow is Stonehenge Day at The Little Straw House — 3 months ago
Know how if your house faces perfectly south, the sunrise on the equinoces will shoot right in the East window and right out the west window?
Know how when you take a compass measurement, you have to correct for magnetic vs polar north based on where you are?
Know how if your DSpouse is from all the way across the continent, you both agree it’s a 15 degree correction, but he thinks its eastward and you know it’s westward?
Well, and you may not know this, but here in NH, in your house faces 30 degrees west of south, then the sunrise lines up the east and west windows on May 22nd.
Did you know that May 22nd has deep spiritual significance ‘round here? It’s the day the county extension service says you can plant out your tomatoes. I want an “Amen” for a truly holy day!
