Wheel of the Year

                                       The green of Summer and Spring…

                                     Soon Autumn’s harvests bring

                    

                                                 

    

                                                            The  Wheel Spins Round Again….

To find the Cold Turkeys of Winter

                                                          Rose Hips Sweet from Jack Frost’s Nip

                                                       Icicles form on cabin’s roof

           

                                                                Tomtens are out wandering about

                                                        Snow hit again, but it comes and goes…

                                          

                                    In between snows it’s sunny and chill.

                                     Tracks: deer, turkey, dog, tomten….

 

           

                                         Winter in the North Country

and back around to Spring: white blossoms from blooming fruit trees scatter on ground like snow...

 

        Pussy willows against a clear cobalt sky.

                       Columnar Basalt ~ a favorite den of marmots. 

      Giant basalt monoliths are omnipresent in Spokane area. The Columbia Basin has the largest basalt flow in the world. Pumice stone abounds also, speaking of a very volcanic past.

Days of Future/Past, or what comes around, goes around. Cyclic in nature, is nature herself.

Graham Hancock's Preconceptions Are Blinkers statement seems very true in light of more recent discoveries. "American archaeology was so riddled with pre-formed opinions on how the past should look, that it repeatedly missed, sidelined and downright ignored evidence for any human presence at all prior to Clovis, until the mass of evidence became so overwhelming it took the existing paradigm by storm."

Graham Hancock, America Before

"We thus find ourselves in a place now where "Clovis First" can quite definitely be ruled out, despite the the fading protests of a very few zealots still clinging on to that discredited fantasy."

Thank you, Mr. Hancock!

Palaeontologist Tom Demere of San Diego's Natural History Museum refers to evidence from the Cerutti Mastodon Site indicating human presence in North America 130,000 years ago. 

What is especially intriguing is based upon new evidence linking the genome-wide data to findings which show that some Amazonian native people descend partly from a Native American founding population that carried ancestry more closely related to indigenous Australians, New Guineans and Andaman Islanders than present day Eurasians or Native Americans.

A whole new light on the New World.
