We are now well past the equinox and the sun is clearly swinging towards the north.  One of the lovely things about Esperanza’s location is that it is only 3+ degrees off North in its alignment and the West Meadow is set the same way.  This means that at the solstices the sun appears to set about a quarter of the way up the north and south hedgerows while at the equinoxes it sets nearly in the middle of the field’s west hedgerow, sinking down across the distant hills.  The year turns, always and everywhere, but here you can watch it so very clearly.
