It’s Setsubun in Japan—time to throw beans and chase away bad luck! But every supermarket was sold out, so my husband improvised with peanuts. One out the door—to drive out evil. One inside—our Westie ate it. One off the balcony—to bring in good fortune. Mission accomplished… kinda. #節分 #Setsubun

Setsubun on Feb 2 again?! 😲⏳ It’s usually Feb 3, but thanks to Earth’s little time warp, here we are—just like in 2021, for the first time in 100+ years! 🌍⌛ Time moves, calendars shift, traditions evolve… but if we’re still connected after another Setsubun, I’d say that’s a pretty solid bond! 😉👹🎭
