I'm calling it at 41/45.My biggest surprise was not finding Equinox despite reading many books about individuals who celebrate the fall and spring Equinox.
Thanks for the update Jonquil. I have two left, that I will keep looking for. I'm sure your last four will show up later.
I have one left but don't think I'll ever find "outdoor area"
I found it, so there's hope. Are you signing up for the next one Denise?? You are usually first to sign up.
