Worshipping the Sun

This is the cover of the Summer Issue of Woolgathering, my ad-free magazine about the seasons. Summer is all about the Sun, and we, like the sunflowers, turn towards the Sun to soak it up and drink it into our bodies.

On a sciencey note,  I just learned that we actually make vitamin D through a process similar to photosynthesis (check out the Radiolab Episode about Invisible Allies). Some doctors and researchers argue that Vitamin D can help with lessening the effects of CoVid-19. Even more reason to worship the Sun!

AND, on a lighter note, we have three Sunflowers that chose to grow in our garden. We did not plant any this year, but I guess nature planted. I like to think that they knew they were being honored on the cover of Woolgathering and wanted to make their appearance at Spring Bird. I’m so glad that they arrived! 

Have a Sunny Week!
