Why?

I always wondered why when it came time to choose a  day to keep the calendar in line with the Earth rotating around the sun, the day was put at the end of February. I mean, really, who thought it would be a great time to add a day at the end of Winter? I'm sure Antipodeans could complain, too. Who wants an extra day in the blistering heat? Why wasn't a day added in Spring or Fall when weather in both hemispheres would be mild?

While hunting around for Leap Day facts, I disccovered, Julius Caesar introduced the leap day to his Julian caldender in 45 BCE. Back then Leap Day was 24. February as February was the last month of the year. Now it makes sense.  Though I'd still prefer a day where everyone could enjoy nice, outdoor, or sun room weather.
Oh, and don't confuse Leap Day with Sadie Hawkins Day. They are two different holidays. Sadie Hawkins Day is 15. November.

So, Happy Leap Day!

The Friday Five Good Things

Five good things that happened this week.

1. Heard some chirping outside. Went to look out the front window hoping to spot a bluebird. Instead a female cardinal had stopped by. Cardinals always make me think of my folks. Hi, Ma!

2. Himself and I binged watched some Kung Fu starring David Carradine. I teased Himself that the black belt tests (4 so far) that he has taken were wimpy compared to Cain having to burn a tiger and a dragon on the insides of his arms.

3. Got my wish and saw a bluebird at the front feeder

4.Stopped to pick up a few things at Michael's. This week was a coupon for 20% off the entire purchase. Sale is my second favorite, four-letter word.

5. Yesterday, the sun was out for a bit, and the temperature in the sun room was 65 oF, I took my paints and went to work out in the sun room. Can you say Spring Fever?
