Learned something new today- tonight is the Black Moon. Like the Blue Moon is the second full moon within a month, the Black Moon is the second New Moon in a month.
Not only is that interesting of itself, but it just happens to fall on the Eve of Chinese New Year. The moon influences tides. Makes you wonder if this Year of the Horse will be as full of changes as the ocean is full of tides. Having just seen the King Tides in the San Francisco Bay, I'd say we are in for a wild ride!
Today I spent an hour in the dentist's chair. I had a window view looking at a stretch of lawn where the green was just starting to show around the edges. The back of the lot had a row of small maples. What I found interesting was a pair of magpies who were very busy in the maples breaking off small twigs, then flying into a nearby tree and working on a nest. Jan 30 and birds are building nests? We had snow this afternoon. And birds are building nests.
This does not compute in my world view. It just seems too early, even with global warming. I think the wild ride is going to last longer than the Year of the Horse.
