This year’s citrus crop is *almost* ripe in New Orleans. We just need some cooler temperatures to sweeten it up. Anyway, I saw this today on my way home from sending a package to my daughter:

I find comfort in these landscapes where people worked land on rath and ringfort. They've had the same fears for future. They're us.
"How very special are we
For just a moment to be
Part of life's eternal rhyme
How very special are we
To have on our family tree
Mother Earth and Father Time"

#StandingStoneSunday Grange Stone Circle, Lough Gur, Co. Limerick. Ireland’s largest stone circle at 46 m, it has 113 mostly limestone standing stones. The biggest, L in my 2022 photo, is 40 tons. Late Neolithic/Chalcolithic in age (ca. 3000-2500 BCE), but many of the stones were added in the 1870s.

This is not drawn from today’s puzzle, but when I said to my ornithologist friend that Metazooa had shown me I know nothing about bird phylogeny, he said no one does; “it changes every week still.”

This is from my backyard in New Orleans yesterday. 10.5” (26.5 cm) - an absolutely crazy amount of snow. City is still shut down, and my university will remain shut down tomorrow.
