Happy (Second) Dance day

Mother Goose day

Where would we be without mother goose? Today's a day to remember the mother goose rhymes!
Here's a couple common ones I found online:

Little Bo peep has lost her sheep,

And can't tell where to find them;

Leave them alone, and they'll come home,

And bring their tails behind them.

Little Bo Peep Fell fast asleep,

And dreamt she heard them bleating;

But when she awoke, she found it a joke,

For they were still a-fleeting.

Then up she took her little crook,

Determined for to find them;

She found them indeed, but it made her heart bleed,

For they'd left their tails behind them.

Little Jack Horner

Sat in a corner,

Eating his Christmas pie.

He put in his thumb,

And pulled out a plum,

And said "What a good boy and I!"

A farmer went riding

 Upon his grey Mare;

Bumpety, Bumpety, Bump!

With his  daughter behind him,

so Rosy and fair;

Lumpety, Lumpety Lump!

A raven cried "Croak!"

And they all tumbled down;

Bumpety, Bumpety Bump!

The mare broke her knees,

the farmer his crown;

Lumpety, Lumpety, Lump!

The mischievous raven 

Flew laughing away;

Bumpety, Bumpety, Bump!

He vowed he would serve them

 The same the next day;

Lumpety, Lumpety, Lump!

Sorry!

I've not been as loyal to the holidays as I should. I'm finding as the weather gets nicer, and I'm feeling a little better, I'm not wanting to be inside on the computer. My mom's also not helping me as much as she was... unfortunately I have not done as many celebrations as I would like. Sorry.

Babe Ruth day

So today is Babe Ruth day, here's a link on the day. 

I don't feel like writing something up on the day so I'm just going to eat a Baby Ruth! 

Though I must say I did look up the Baby Ruth candy bar and found some thing interesting!

The candy bar is thought to be named after the baseball player Babe Ruth (right?),  but it was originally named after President Grover Cleveland's first daughter  'baby' Ruth  Cleveland!

 Oh well, happy Babe Ruth day any way!

Poem in Your Pocket day

Here is the poem I'm carrying in my pocket today:

By George MacDonald
1824-1905

I said "Let me walk in the fields."

He said "Nay, walk in town."

I said "there are no flowers there."

He said "no flowers but a crown."

I said "But the skies are black;

there is nothing but noise and din."

And he wept as he sent me back-

"There is more," He said; "There is sin."

I said "But the air is thick,

 And fogs are veiling the sun."

He answered "Yet souls are sick, 

And souls in the dark undone!"

I said "I shall miss the light,

And friends will miss me, they say."

He answered 'Choose tonight

If I am to miss you or they."

I pleaded for time to be given.

He said "is it hard to decide?

It will not seem hard in heaven 

To have followed the steps of your guide."

I cast one look at the fields,

Then set my face to town;

He said "my child do you yield?

Will you leave the flowers for the crown?"

Then into his hand went mine;

And into my heart came he:

And I walk in a light divine,

The path I had feared to see. 

I took a poetry class once and we all had to memorize a poem: this is the one I chose to memorize. I really like it. 

Hug and Australian day

I ACTUALLY found an Australian to hug! She's the mother of one of the students in my ballet class. She's not full Australian but she does have some Australian in her... and that's all that matters. Yesterday was Hug a plummer day and I wasn't able to find a plummer to hug. I thought the plummer one would be easier!
Sorry for the quality of the picture. It was taken on my mom's phone.
