Day 76: New Month's Eve (Spring Peepers)

I barely noticed the beautiful spring weather today, because I was moping around trying to think of a fitting ritual for tonight's New Month's Eve.

 

Finally, dusk came, and I still hadn't thought of anything. Luckily, I stepped outside and immediately heard the spring peepers, faintly in the distance.

 

As I walked through the darkening woods towards the river, the peepers got louder.

 

I went down to the cliffs by the river. I decided that this is a very symbolic ritual... reining in spring, watching the waters below and the sky above, with a gentle breeze...

 

Serenaded by spring peepers, and surrounded by the good ol' Fire of Life, I will leap into April at midnight.
