~ Time and Tide ~ Weekly Photo Challenge – Time ~

Posted on February 6, 2016 by Lindy Le Coq

The origin of the phrase Time and Tide wait for no man, is uncertain, “although it’s clear that the phrase is ancient and that it predates modern English. The earliest known record is from St. Marher, 1225: “And te tide and te time bat tu iboren were, schal beon iblescet.”

A version in modern English – “the tide abides for, tarrieth for no man, stays no man, tide nor time tarrieth no man” evolved into the present day version. (The Phrase Finder)

Time and tide wait for no man is also attributed to Geoffrey Chaucer (1343-1400) Brainy Quotes

~ Nutty Pollen ~ Friday Flyers ~

Posted on February 5, 2016 by Lindy Le Coq

If it’s in the air and it comes from nature, it’s a Friday Flyer!

Hazelnut (Corylus) shrubs and trees bloom in the middle of winter. Wind — abundant here this time of year — carries pollen from the male catkins (pictured) to small red female flowers which remain dormant until spring when the nut begins to grow into delicious, nutritious and healthy food for humans and critters. *The Celts believed hazelnuts gave one wisdom and inspiration. Works for me!

~ Winter to Spring ~ Tuesday Two by Two ~

Posted on February 2, 2016 by Lindy Le Coq

Since February 2 is my birthday, I’ve paid attention to the traditions surrounding this date. Growing up in climates where winter was cold and snowy, it seemed that even on overcast days the sun would appear long enough for me to see my shadow.

A groundhog from the start, now I think of this day as the tipping point — a fulcrum that slides us through late winter and settles us into early spring. Time to plan the coming gardens. Wishing everyone a happy late winter and merry early spring.

USA & Canada – Groundhog Day, The Gaelic festival – Imbolg (i-MOLG) and Christian festival – Candlemas, all have rituals marking this time of year.

Posted on February 1, 2016 by Lindy Le Coq

There is something magical about being able to look at the sun in full glow safely filtered by all the tiny water droplets suspended in the air about me.

A trip to the beach is in my near future!

American Goldfinches flock to my feeders in spring. The males bless me with their vivid yellow feathers at breeding time. During winter, Lesser Goldfinch males are she showy ones. Zinnia and dahlia’s attract bees all summer long.

Anna’s Hummingbirds are year round visitors to the feeder. When threatened or challenged the male’s head and throat vibrate a luminescent pink.
