The St. Patrick's Day parade's set for today. I've gone the last couple of years, but I'm finding it a bit chilly/damp today. Already had my sparkly green headband with green shamrock bobbers ready to go. I think I'll relax til it's time to go to dance class instead.

That should get about as much coverage by the media as the Washinigton anti-war demostrations did.

St. Paddy's day went well, weather lovely, didn't attend the festivities this year opting for a quieter day of gardening. Today the weathers cooler, forecast for rain tomorrow, but still temps are mild.

{watch closely cause they're quick}

I looked and looked for a long time and didn't see a thing. The time didn't advance either. What did that mean? I'm not Irish?

On NBC Nightly News last night, and front page of the Washington Post.

dunno...did ya knock down onea their walls er sumpin? :wink:



Imagine that. The three percent of those supporting the war got most of the coverage. Not a surprise the media doesn't print photos of what our troops look like after being maimed and blown to bits, or terrified Iraqi children - and worse. Way to damned unpatriotic.

Hi all, thanks for the information and links........

Clicked this morn and am just now posting......

Clicked this Monday.

Did not sight Leprechans during the past weekend. Still looking for the pot of gold though.

Tomorrow, at 2 pm (for some reason), spring will have sprung. I will be up in the Durham area looking at houses, and hope to be able to purchase one. New beginnings all around?

Dan, I swear i saw a few Leprechans strolling through the Rosemary hedges today! Spring is their favorite season of the year, and if ya sit real still, they'll walk right up to ya and say 'howdy'.

Sue, a new home? How much fun is that???

Have you checked at the end of the rainbow, Dan?

Merry Andrew, I have never laid eyes upon you - - - however, you have given me an angary - - - or. whatever...........



I'm coming back on the use of Internatinal Law concerning =stuff that actually matters concerning stuff that matters - - - ???

Wow, before I get deleted the word = angary = a great word to descrebe stuff. ??

Till later,

lets forget leprechans, k? = no stuff - no pot of gold - no rainbow...

Destination for Spring = The Almafi Coast

Almafi Coast-- wonderful. Looking out of my window into rain and snow then this destination is even more tempting.

I am reading about Persepolis- the ancient city near Shiraz and learning about Norouz, the festivity on 3/21.
The little girl from Iran in my class gave a "speech" today how this is celebrated.
First spring cleaning, then cooking 7 dishes, all of them have names starting with S- this is because of the Iran name for New Year starts with S.
Then they all will get new dresses. Sweets and presents, too.
And they have to be kind and good to family members and neighbors. Their behavior on that special day will influence the coming New Year.
She is already very excited.

Good morning all, I must define the word 'angary' in my last post.
angary = a:service to a lord (ie. Andrew) b:compulsory public service. (to do as I'm told)

My closest friend in USA lives in Folsom, CA - his ancestory is actually located in Southern Italy - Filadelfia, Italy.

ul, Tuscany, the Almafi Coast = my dream vacation! Someday...

Persian New Year begins on the Spring Equinox, Italians also celebrate with foods beginning with the letter 's' because the Arabic name for 'food' was unknown. Seven dishes were prepared {squash, soup, salad, spaghetti {pasta} the table decorated with freshly picked greens...a candleabra containing a candle for every child in the house, rose water, sweets, yogurt, fish, and colored eggs.

The word "Easter" derives from the Saxon dawn-goddess Eostre, whose festival was celebrated on spring equinox. The ancient Romans celebrated the Spring Equinox with a ten day rite for Attis, son of the goddess Cybele, who after two days, a priest opened Atti's tomb and found it empy.

The traditional time for a great spring feast and the decoration of the table is as important as the food. There are many traditions from which to choose: Nawruz, Passover, Easter, St Joseph's Day, Maimuna ?- all are variations on the theme of the spring feast, in which every item is symbolic. The ancient romans called the Spring Equinox, the "Day of Joy" - and viewing photos of the Almafi Coast, i see why.


Dan, LOL - waving to your paisano.

My dearest friend lives with her family right on Folsom Lake!

So now it is officially spring.
Doesn't feel like spring though, it is rather cold. Some snow flurries this morning covered the violets and the primroses.

stradee, right now it seems that even the south of Italy is rather cold. Vesuv got a white snow cap.

Next week we will start growing Easter Wheat- something green for the Easter table.

A photo from this morning .... the magnolias look the very same as they looked alike as 10 days ago

ul, heavy rainfall last evening, but today the suns shining and temps are mild. There is still quite a bit of snow at higher elevations, the Sierras surrounding Tahoe look so pretty contrasted with the greenery of the canyons. Soon the snow will begin melting, greeting the new rafting season.

I don't care if vesuvius stays snowy forever, i'm sailing the Almafi Coast wearing arctic gear if necessary. Determined

Walter, very lovely photo.
