Uh, oh, I think there is a sliver of something up there!
Well, there is something about a tiny crescent of silver in the spring sky that just makes my heart go pity-pat. Does that happen to you? We all go out to see the new moon from the garden, NOT through the window, because that is bad luck and heaven knows what will happen to you if you accidentally see the moon through any window or glass!
WHEW, SAFE, THIS TIME!
I think I mentioned this before but in case you have forgotten, you must take the anthro, who saw the new moon through glass, outdoors and turn him/her around three times and then turn the opposite direction three times— better to be near a chair or low wall or something like just in case your friend falls over!
Complicated, no? And the following is from a brilliant blog by Dennis Simanaitissays simanaitissays.com:
In Devonshire, it’s said that, upon seeing the first new moon of the year, you should remove a stocking and run across a field. Then, between your big toe and the next, you’ll find a hair that’ll reveal the color of your true love’s hair.
Which mama loved, but then she said, “Wait a minute, what if he or she is bald?”
Ah, well, I think that’s it for new moon lore…
Mama says there was something in her childhood called a Moon Pie. Hmmm….now THAT sounds promising!
ooh, Loulou – did you run through the field to see who your true love will be? That bold kitty who comes into your yard? I would have to run down the sidewalk and maybe see whose poop got stuck between my toes! Hope it’s not that schnauzer upstairs – he is grumpy! Well, Mama is leaving this morning for Paris until Friday. So I’ll have Papa all to myself, teehee. But I’ll play-like I’m sad she’s going. hehheh – Drama Queen, Moi.
Hooray mama out of town and I hope she is successful. Now you get all the attention at home yay!Yes check out that poop…
I did see that moon last night. I will skip the running with a stocking as I have been married to my true love for almost 27 years.
Oh, Ellen, you are so 🍀 lucky…like mama amd papa. Doesn’t happen to everyone……
Tell Mama they still make Moon Pies, and have branched out with flavors !
WOW—and do you drink an RC with them???
It is easier to find Moon Pies than RC Cola around here.
Probably a good thing. Try for Dr. Pepper, haha.
