Reconsidering Sefirah observance (again)

Katrina’s as confused and conflicted about Sefirah observance as I am. Her buddy’s suggestion that one observe from after Rosh Chodesh Iyar until Lag B’Omer actually makes a certain amount of sense, though it doesn’t follow any currently-accepted minhag (custom), of which elf’s DH delineates five in his comment to Katrina’s post.

I’ve linked previously to this DovBear post concerning Sefirah, and I’m linking again, because I think it’s worth a look every year. (This bit of satire is really about Yom HaShoah, but it touches on Sefirah as well.)
