...beautiful
Irish grandchildren celebrated their heritage
...though the eldest is best
represented by 'years gone by'
It's never too late to say éirinn go bragh

IT WAS YESTERDAY THAT MY...
Tuesday, March 1, 2022
It was a phrase my mother cited...
EVERY MARCH 1ST
" [If] in
like a lion, out like a lamb"
However, she always added the following: "But if it comes in like a lamb, it will
go out like a lion...and that means a very bad storm"!
We are still in the grip of winter via the date
of March 1st ... yet, a "lion in
winter" does not have to be an unequivocally negative prophecy
{As
an aside, 'The Lion in Winter' was a 1960s movie about love and hate as well as
politics, vengeance, greed and ambition. "It other words, it's about life".}
Tonight, our president proved himself a
'Lion in Winter' simply by his courage and strong words...
I am proud to call him president

On the other hand, there's the impotent Putin wreaking havoc in eastern Europe...and Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds is sure one strange, old bird too !!!

February 2022 may usurp March 44 B.C.
as the latest 'Ides'
After all, there's a new 'evil
triumvirate' being invoked these
days...
When
the DEVIL carries you over the finish line,
BEWARE!!!

SIMPLY MOONSTRUCK:
THE
GRANDEUR OF A WANING GIBBOUS
It
is February, not June or September;
Yet,
the moon is on display as though
An extraordinary
harvest is shortly to announce
An impressive
and important introduction...
A waning gibbous has
Never appeared so grand!
It is 18.2 days into the phase
Of its 'post new-moon
status';
No longer in Virgo's sway, this old soul
Has entered the realm of Libra...
And I'm moonstruck
