I'm wearing my birch trees tie today to honor Birch Tree Day (Bouleau, 7 Germinal) on the French Republican Calendar. It was created after the French Revolution, expressing deep connections to nature by correlating each day on the calendar with a plant (a crop, flower or tree), a farm animal or an agricultural tool. Yesterday marked the birthday of Robert Frost (1874-1963). My birch trees tie is related to his wonderful poem Birches. We have large river birch trees which we planted 26 years ago.
