Zephyr etymology: Middle English Zephirus, west wind (personified), from Latin Zephyrus, god of the west wind & zephyrus west wind, zephyr, from Greek Zephyros & zephyros.

It is indeed a sacred word!

Zephyr is blue like angel wings. Manganese is perhaps in its recipe. Hard as hell, shine as heaven

I've always been tempted to let the lawn go and turn it into a wild field. Long grasses, wild flowers. We'd love it. Sadly, the neighbors would not.

Something I've noticed with my Gen Z kids and their friends is a willingness to challenge conventions like nice monoculture grass lawns. I think they are going to change the world in ways us elders never did.
