I ate that really big pomegranate and it wasn't that great and there wasn't much inside it - mostly flesh! #TuBShvat
@jewwhohasitall The first one, in the pot, is an etrog. It’s the last one standing after I planted four seeds some years back. The lovely fuchsia one is a saucer magnolia #tree I planted because I knew it would bloom around #TuBShvat, and it did!
Happy Tu BiShvat, everyone! Today we especially remember our #Jewish duty to care for and heal our planet. It's also a time to appreciate the joy and beauty in our natural world. Here's a dogwood tree in stunning full bloom. Loved by pollinators, gorgeous to look at, and native to the eastern US, so you don't have to feel bad about planting them!

Posted this on IG, but maintenance of multiple social networks is not easy. #tubshvat
It has bothered me for awhile that the Tu Bishevat seder has 4 cups of wine but only 3 categories of fruits. When I put together a seder (awhile back) I added a messianic, fourth type of tree "fruit" that cannot really be eaten at all. Instead we smelled fragrant spices that came from trees. #TuBiShevat #TuBShvat #mazeldon #Jewniverse

I kind of love the fact that Tu Bishevat is a minor enough holiday that there is more room than usual for just making up your own traditions for it. #TuBiShevat #TuBShvat @mazeldon
#TuBshvat, the Hebrew new year of the trees, starts tonight. Take a moment to thank a tree and enjoy this musical tribute to the trees https://youtu.be/Eb3CVZeiO1A

Tonight is #TuBiShvat, literally the 15th day of the month of #Shvat. A holiday that is in Jewish tradition called the "New Year of the Trees" - as half of winter has passed, and the trees are starting to grow their leaves and fruits again. Hence the tradition of eating many different fruits (as a child, we often got close to a 100 different kinds of fruits).
#TuBShvat tells us: no, we will regrow. We will be back. We will rise again, and again. Ultimately, we will blossom 🌸
So, honestly speaking, I’m not doing great this morning.
So #today’s plan is mainly #SelfCare and not pushing myself too much. Anyway, tentatively:
- shower
- put out the rubbish for collection
- walk to the park (hopefully if my sciatica isn’t too bad) to see some trees. (#TuBShvat)
- grocery shopping on the way back
- water our plants (#TuBShvat!)
- Hebrew study
- #CPTSD exposure exercise? (Didn’t manage yesterday)
