Jahr des Büffels
Das chinesische Neujahr wird nach dem Mondkalender begangen und am 12. Feb. 2021 beginnt das Jahr des Büffels.
Büffel werden in der chinesischen Kultur als die harten Arbeiter im Hintergrund geschätzt. Aufgrund der Rolle des Büffels in der Landwirtschaft werden diesem Tierkreiszeichen Eigenschaften wie Fleiß und Ehrlichkeit, Geduld und Ausdauer zugeschrieben, sie werden als intelligent und zuverlässig angesehen.
Nach Ansicht der chinesichen Astrologie verspricht das Jahr des Metall-Büffels ein günstiges Jahr für die wirtschaftliche Erholung zu werden. Also genau das, wonach sich alle „Menschen unter dem Himmel“, wie es in China heißt, nach dem verganenen Jahr sehnen.
The Chinese New Year is celebrated according to the lunar calendar and the year of the Ox begins on Feb. 12, 2021.
The Ox is valued in Chinese culture as the hard worker behind the scenes. Due to the role of the Ox in agriculture, traits such as hard work and honesty, patience and perseverance are ascribed to this zodiac sign, it is considered intelligent and reliable.
According to Chinese astrology, the year of the metal ox promises to be a good year for economic recovery. In other words, exactly what all “people under heaven”, as it is called in China, long for the past year.
Big old tree of Japanese Clethra looks gnarled & fantastic.
Botanical name: Clethra Anatolia; English name: Japanese Clethra. This tree grows slowly at this barren land.
リョウブは成長すると樹皮が剝げ落ちて, 木肌がツルツルになります。地上根は逞しい反面, 地下根は浅く短く, 幹は傾きがちです。特に土壌層が薄くて直ぐ溶岩層となる天城では, こんな格好に成ります。リョウブは成長速度が遅いので, この古木の樹齢は全く見当が付きません。

We were out in the garden filling up Randie's little watering can
to water the flowers. We must have filled it up 3 times before I noticed
this little guy trying to escape sudden death trapped in the can filled with
water. A moment later another little fella followed :)
Good thing my mother in law was not around.. she would have stomped
on them!! Happy Sunday Everyone!!

Sunshine in the past week; it felt like Spring and sometimes even like Summer!
Rain and nothing but rain last weekend...it felt like Autumn...
And lots of snow and again since yesterday: Winter, so we have it all within one week! :-)

If you think you have a hard life... Think again!
(photo taken on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada)
The male mountain bluebird pictured here, perched on a poplar branch, was facing into a fairly strong wind during a downfall of freezing rain and snow. This was only the beginning. The area now has a thick blanket of snow and has been below 0 °C for days. Relief from the cold is still a few days away.
When I was checking on the bluebirds this morning, it was -6 °C with a bitter wind. I have seen only two on my last two visits. Earlier, when the weather was better, there were three. Last year there were six in the immediate area.
It is possible the weather has put a damper on some of the migration and more will show up when the weather warms up. I sure hope so!
