Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone!! Hope you have a wonderful day. I will be back (like tomorrow) with a update on the rest of the Winter as requested by a very special friend!! See you soon.

Full Snow Moon

February's Full Moon was called the Snow Moon because it was a time of heavy snow. It was also called the Hunger Moon because hunting was difficult and hunger often resulted. Well, some of us may get a bit of Snow tomorrow but it certainly should not be a heavy snow (fingers crossed!!) Hope that you can go out tonite and catch a glimpse of the moon.

Time, where does it go?

I cannot believe that it is already February 1st. Seems like it was just New Year's Day and here we are getting ready for Super Bowl Sunday. Not us, we are not football people, but that is okay we can't all be alike, lol. Well, this year I had thought that I was going to start to blog more, well we can all see that didn't happen. But, I can't say that I have not been busy. Les and I now work for two auctioneers, one every week and the other once or twice a month. We have already did one antique show and are getting ready to do another on the 25th of this month. Plus doing my real job, which I just found out that I will be going on part-time unemployment :(, not happy, but at least I have a job. So, maybe that's why I haven't been posting. Well, I wanted to make this longer but I just got really tired, so I will close for now and I will try and post some more real soon. Still have info to share with all my blog friends.

Full Wolf Moon

Tonite January 9th, 2012 is the the Full Wolf Moon. So named this because it (the moon) appeared when wolves howled in hunger outside the villages. The Wolf Moon is also called the Old Moon. Strange, first full moon of the new year and it would have been called the Old Moon. I will need to find out about that version. Have a great evening.

Thunder, Really

Yes, last night before the Winter Soltice arrived we had thunder and lighting!! So, I bring to you from the Old Farmer's Almanac.......THUNDER IN DECEMBER PRESAGES FINE WEATHER. Have a great day getting the last minute things done on your list!!!

Tonight Is The Night

Winter Solstice that is. At 12:30 a.m. Winter will begin. Time for all of us to get our books, our craft projects or whatever floats your boat in order because once Christmas is over we will be looking for things to do on those long Winter's nights. I have a couple of things in mind that I want to get done. Some reading, some clearing the clutter and somethings that I will keep a secret for now. My food and gift giving shopping is all done. Tree is not up yet. But it is only a small tree and it is more like a Winter tree they a Christmas tree. It will go up tomorrow or Friday. Baking will begin tomorrow along with the cooking of tomato sauce for Christmas dinner. It is just Les and I and it has become our tradition to have some type of pasta and just enjoy the day and each other. I hope whatever is on your plate you will have it clean so that you too can enjoy the day and yourself. Merry Christmas.

Happy St. Nicholas Day

In Germany, it is customary to give fruit, nuts and candy to children on St. Nicholas's feast day. Seems like a fun kind of day. I wonder if this is still celebrated somewhere today. Hope everyone is fine and well. I won't even ask if you are busy! Who isn't at this time of year. Les and I are expecting a guest sometime this month, not sure when, so everyday something needs to get cleaned or put away. I am leaving the guest room to last or should I say when I know our guest is arriving. Take care and have a wonderful evening.
