We still have hot cross bun season to get through before that happens!

Can somebody help me find my eyeballs?
They were spinning so fast, they jumped the tracks.

I gotta put mine down. I suppose on the weekend or one of these weeknights.

All my Christmas stuff is gone. I was done with it.

My tree is shedding needles at a prodigious rate. I've got to get it down either today or tomorrow. Too bad --I was hoping to keep it up until Epiphany.

I want to take ours down this week as well.

The town square christmas tree is down already. I think it went down before new year in fact.

Christmas all gone ... basking in Epiphanytide ... all ready for the rigours of a Mordorian Lent ...

I think, Jo, you should edit the title of this thread every day to correct the time interval.

Careful. I might take that idea and run with it

Yeah, and add hours.

Too early?

We're already mid January. Time does seem to be running faster than it used to.

Post by JoeP on Jan 11, 2018 12:12:06 GMT
No it isn't! It's the 10th of January. Mid January would be the 15th. That's literally 50% more of the year so far still to go!

Check your calendar! It's 11th January today!

Nearly the twelfth indeed!

Is it Spring yet?
|
|
|
Post by Mari on Jan 13, 2018 12:50:42 GMT
Almost. In two and a half months!

Actually, the harbinger of Spring....the front end of the season, starts February 2.
Remember, if June 21 is Midsummer, then it is the exact middle of the season. Seasons are thirteen weeks each; six and one half weeks before and after each marker of the center of the seasons, the equinoxes and solstices, being the markers. So, the Vernal Equinox (~ March 21) marks the centerpoint of the spring season and six and a half weeks prior is approximately Ground Hog's Day, February 2.
This also means that winter started on or around Halloween.
Spring is closer than you think.

It sure won't feel like it here in Feb second.

Post by Kye on Jan 13, 2018 21:41:09 GMT
June 21 is certainly not midsummer here. It's the beginning of the two and a half months of summer that we get.

Mind you, that is a calendral outlook we inherited from the Celts....Moose's neighbors.
And, mind you, I'd have never thought of it were it not for Willy Shakespeare and his play.
