Yesterday's wet snow eventually added up to about three inches when it was all done falling mid afternoon. Last night the temp went down to -8*C so the snow did dry, and now the sun is shining making the snow sparkle like diamonds, very pretty. A picture perfect Winter day.
My sister re gifted me a address/telephone/birthday books set recently. She does not write letters or cards so it was of no use to her. Yesterday afternoon I transferred all of the information from two old books I had been using to these new ones.
I found the information for each month quite interesting. On the first page of each month it features the birthstone and a short poem Each day it notes some well known person/s and some not so well known people's birthday and also an interesting fact. Today January 27--- 1756 Mozart was born. In 1879 the first electric light patented by Edison.
January Birthstone: Garnet.
By her who in this month is born,
No gems save garnets should be worn
They will insure her constancy
True friendship and fidelity.
Anon.
Trivia for today.
Dinner tonight ham, sweet potato and salad. Dessert fruit in jelly.
Oh what delightful books your sister gave you. Please post the birthstone & poem each month, along with the trivia! Happy Birthday Mozart! :) ~Andrea xoxo
