These tulips have bloomed in time for easter weekend here in Merritt BC.  We enjoy thinking of Andrea Rogers who came to spend her live here in Merritt from Appledorn Holland. Andrea married a Canadian  solder Norm who passed a few years ago. Norm was involved in the liberation of Holland in the Second World War and managed the Super Value grocery store here in Merritt.  Andrea Came to Canada in 1948 and continues to live here and enjoys gardening and flowers of various kinds.

Glint of red

The lawn grass is beginning to turn green this week on the 19oo block of Quilchena avenue.  With Easter a week away the Appledorn tulips that are a bell whether for the resurrection day remembrance have a ting of red as a precursor to blooming. A single plant in a sheltered place we are amazed that it is most often in bloom for the easter weekend regardless of whether it is in March or April.

No matter what your beliefs it is self-evident that rebirth is an astounding and energizing dynamic at this time of year.

Fools moon

English: Woody Allen in concert in New York City.

There is a big full moon in a big cold sky here tonight.A person that works at the Desert Inn says that it is not full and it is a fools moon. On looking closer it does seem to not be completely round with a sliver off the south east quadrant.

There is a full moon every 28 days and at one time Greek city states had a 13 month 28 day calender. the dynamic of upmanship with Julius Caesar and  his 31 day month and his nephew Augustus have had there way over time and Easter is  different as the calender coördinates the Sunday with the resurrection moon of 33 AD.

We hope you all get at least Woody Allen‘s Due of 15 minutes of fame, and don”t have to pay the price for it as the Caesars did.
