The Beaver looks forward to the spring thaw. She lives in her lodge for the winter with her colony, only emerging in dire times for food.

Today is the New Moon. This is the time when the moon is smallest in the sky. It provides us with the darkest nights and the best view of the stars. It is also the beginning of a new moon cycle.
