"On Holy Saturday, Russia’s president announced that its forces invading Ukraine would respect a temporary Easter ceasefire; and on Easter Sunday, Ukraine’s president accused him of violating that ceasefire by launching at least 67 separate assaults on Ukrainian troops. In the United States, three of the world’s six largest companies sponsored the White House Easter Egg Roll; and it was reported that the record-high average egg price of $6.23 per dozen had caused many Americans to celebrate Easter by painting potatoes and rocks. The head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services told Americans it was their “patriotic duty” to save on medical costs by not getting sick, the health and human services secretary said children diagnosed with autism cannot write poems, the Food and Drug Administration was reported to have declined to publicize an outbreak last year of lettuce-borne E. coli in 15 states, and bottles of holy water collected by tourists in Ethiopia were found to contain cholera. […] the U.S. Naval Academy canceled a philosopher’s lecture about wisdom after he refused to refrain from discussing the 381 books the school banned from their library"—Joe Kloc

#Spring is a time for a lot of traditional + #pagan celebrations. Here's a post of mine from last year for Ūsiņš Day the #Latvian celebration for the #CrossQuarterDay around #MayDay though Christianisation has often bumped it up to April 23- nearly on top of #Easter this year. I'm happy to lump them all together- the first flowers, warming weather, the greening soon to come, renewal of life- and some chocolate! I'll be out looking for bees today. #SeasonalRhythms #nature

Neighbour calves not loving the cold wet- one looking like the starry void! We were forecast 10-20cm of #snow Sunday through Monday- we got a bit of rain Mon afternoon, turned to rain/snow melting on the ground, eventually started turning white outside early evening. Maybe 5-8cm on the ground this morning (those views to come). Lots melted, lingering in shade. Great moisture for spring renewal.

A young Black Angus calf seen through a fence- one blurred wire crosses our view of his body. He is standing sideways to the camera, looking left, head down to the ground- a bit of grazing or hay eating or tasting the wetness/snow? It is snowing and we can see the white dots of snowflakes across the image, but especially against the near perfectly black body of the calf - making it seem almost like looking into a starry black sky. The ground is low grazed and trampled dry grass, with bits of scattered hay and straw piled to the right. Low mounds/clumps of manure are here and there. In the background is a faded grey wooden board fence behind an area of darker ground- trampled dug up earth and manure.
A small wet looking black calf pokes its head up from where it is lying in a large mound of straw, looking directly at the camera. the rest of it is hidden apart from a bit of its upper back. Behind is a grey weathered board fence. It is snowing and we can see the falling dots of white, especially against the fence and the calf's head.

Traditionally distributed on Easter Monday at Biddenden in Kent, these biscuits, dating from c. 1875, commemorate conjoined twins Mary & Eliza Chulkhurst, who were born in 1100 & died together in 1134. From a rich family, they bequeathed land to the church to help the poor.
