Good Morning from Hamline University's Center for Environmental Education (CGEE) on this 7th day of May; 127 days from the beginning of the year--34.79% of this year consumed by time, 182,880 minutes of it.

Sunrise is at 5:53 am and sunset at 8:26pm giving us 14h 32m 55s of sunlight. Here it is colder than normal with a blue sky and white cumulus clouds 

Meat is on the menu for today. It is National Roast Leg of Lamb Day and Foodimentary fills in some of the details and facts including some food history, e.g., on this day was issued a patent for macaroni.

Quote. “Dark clouds become heaven’s flowers when kissed by light.” – Rabindranath Tagore

When all the world appears to be in a tumult, and nature itself is feeling the assault of climate change, the seasons retain their essential rhythm. Yes, fall gives us a premonition of winter, but then, winter, will be forced to relent, once again, to the new beginnings of soft greens, longer light, and the sweet air of spring. Madeleine M. Kunin
