A Carpe Diem Snapshot:

Buon compleanno, Hannah Faith O'Conner!! This personality pic was snapped on the sly this morning at a stylish French café that was Hannah's location of choice to celebrate her debut into the world (shhhh...the French do baked goods much better than the Italians!). Ad multus annos!

Make a pie to celebrate Pi Day on March 14, 2025! The date 3/14 honors the never-ending number 3.14159. This is the sort of holiday only celebrated by number fanatics, like yours truly (and pie lovers). Let’s have fun with numbers and a nice piece of π… .

Natural: Full Worm Moon

March's full Moon goes by the name Worm Moon, which was originally thought to refer to the earthworms that appear as the soil warms in spring. This invites robins and other birds to feed—a true sign of spring! An alternative explanation for this name comes from Captain Jonathan Carver, an 18th-century explorer, who wrote that this Moon name refers to a different sort of “worm”—beetle larvae—which begin to emerge from the thawing bark of trees and other winter hideouts at this time.

This year there is also a full solar eclipse of the full moon, creating a full red worm moon!

Italian: Soprammobile (knick-knack / ornament)

Quote: "There was a star danced, and under that was I born."
