A Family Tradition

My daughter today, 3/20/2011

How I did it

It is a family tradition at our house. We try to do it as close to the equinox as possible. Always works on the equinox.

When I did it

I have tried it multiple times during the year, but have had no luck any time except at the equinox. I did it today 6 hours before the equinox and it worked. who knows, maybe I am psychologically blocking it from other times of the year...??

Lessons Learned

  • I do not use wood table tops, since they have ridges
  • I only use a very smooth surface, like a counter top.
  • Some claim they have done it at other times of they year
  • Some say it works both spring and fall
  • All I know is that for me and my family, it has only worked in spring within 6 hours before or after the equinox.
