Springing into action

Today in BuBe's gardens, a few signs of Spring

Zee & Oreo -- The Movie

Hi everyone. I saw my future kitties today and took a few pictures of them. Here are three images that came out well. The movie (a CiniMax film) shows 'Oreo' near the end. She slept in my lap the whole time I took all the other pictures. She did not want to leave me -- which both Nicole and I found rather interesting! Her eyes are as blue as the mother's eyes and she has 4 white paws and a big white 'T' on her tiny belly. Right now, she and 'Zee' are about as big as 1.5 of my fists. Their names are still temporary, but they sound good for now. I hope you enjoy the movie. Maybe at the end of March they will be ready to make their way to their new home here in Marborrow.

Heah Comez da Zun

As I sit watching the snow fall here in Portland, I wonder where yesterday's sun and warm temperatures went! I imagine BuBe who was out working in her yard with no coat and no bugs. I imagine the beach where I walked. For now, I have to be happy with taking pictures of cut flowers. But, it is only 11 days until the first day of spring. And it is light until 6:40 now. In honor of the sun, here is a song from Toby:

Heah Comez da Zun - Da Beatles

Heah comez da zun, heah comez da zun,

Yiddle darling, itz bin a long cold lonlee wintah

Zun, zun, zun, heah id comez...
Zun, zun, zun, heah id comez...
Zun, zun, zun, heah id comez...

Yiddle darling, Ize feel dat ice iz sloelee melting
Yiddle darling, id zeems lyke years zins itz bin clear
Heah comez da zun, heah comez da zun,
and Ize za itz awl ryet
Itz awl ryet

Happee Mahch 1st! (wid text frum BuBe)

MARCH 15 | IDES OF MARCH
"Beewear da Ides ov Mahch!" Evreewun hoo haz read or seen a praduckshun ov Shakespeare's Jooleeuz Ceezur knows dat warning, butz nutt evreewun knows wat id means. According tah wun awthoridy, da wurd Ides prolly means sumding lyke "divydur", frum da Etruscan verb iduare, meaning "tah divide."

Da Ides divided Roman munths approximutlee in haff. In Jooleeuz Ceezur's tyme dey occurred awn da 15th day ov 31-day munths and da 13th day ov da uddars. Zo Ceezur's Ides ov Mahch wuz Mahch 15, da day awn witch he wuz azzazzinaytid in 44 B.C. If Ceezur had bin warned tah beewear ov Mahch 15, howevah, or evun da 15th day ov Mahch, he wud nutt hav nown wat day tah prepare foah.

In 44 B.C., da Romans numbered their dayz according tah an ancient syztum dat derived frum a primitive lunar calendar. Dey cawld da fuhst day ov each munth da Kalends, witch means "tah proclaim." Id refers back tah a tyme whin priests proclaimed da beginning ov a nu munth at da fuhst visible crescent ov da nu moon.

In Ceezur's tyme, priests ztill proclaimed a nu munth awn da Kalends, butz munths wur no longer based awn da moon. Da priests meerlee announced ow many dayz id wud be unetill da nex important day ov da nu munth. Dais nex important day wuz da Nones, witch may wunce hav bin da day ov da moon's fuhst quarter butz by Ceezur's tyme wuz always scheduled foah da ninth day befoah da Ides.

In da owld lunar calendar, da Ides had bin da day ov da full moon, butz by Ceezur's tyme id wuz simply da midpoint ov da munth. Cuz da lunar calendar wuz always luking fourward tah da nex phaze ov da moon, its dayz counted downward tah da anticipated day. Ceezur's dayz ztill counted downward too.

Dare4, da lazt foo dayz befoah hiz assassination wud hav bin numbered V Ides, IV Ides, III Ides, Day Befoah Ides, and Ides, nutt Mahch 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15. Whin u tink aboot id, dais way ov counting tyme haz its merits.

Wee ztill cownt down tah dayz dat excite us; owah birthdays, holidays, da lazt day ov school. Maybee whin wee starded counting upward, wee lost a significant vestige ov lunar inflewenz dat da Roman calendar ztill clung tah ; dayz dat lookeed fourward tah da future rathah dan dayz dat meerlee added upe da pazt.
