[IBC] Happy New Year
My New Year Greeting:
Just like the tree in the hands of the bonsai artist: By his will he lets a branch grow long Or by his will he cuts it short, So are we in your hands, O Lord.

Off line, Iris and I were musing about the variety of
new years celbration dates. She reminded me that they go from September through the beginning of February. Many of these celebrations are tied into agricultural events, harvest, budding, dormancy, etc. So what do you think would be an appropriate bonsai new years date?

Each temperature zone should have its own New Year. In the northern
hemisphere, it would vary from February 1 to June 1; below the Equator, August 1 to December 1. The exact date could vary too, depnding upon when the earliest buds begin to swell. This way, New Years would occur almost every day of the year in some part of the world. Wouldn't it be great to celebrate New Years every day? We can , you know, because each new day is a precious, unique gift given to all mankind. At least, I think so.

Well, there's Arbor Day! ;-)
But the date of appearance of the first leaves popping from their buds would seem to be a logical date to me. Obviously, this would be a different day for every locale, but we don't need any more "official" holidays anyway.

Kitsune Miko In colonial New England the beginning of the year was March 25, basically the beginning of spring. That's why when you see dates before 1752 falling between January 1 and March 24 (inclusive) you'll see them written as January 25, 1745/6 (meaning 1746). Being a native New Englander, I'd go with that date.

Jim: SW Louisiana was totally untouched by the storm. We had
lots of refugees filling up the hotels and the Civic Center, though. We could use the rain, but I'll take it the old fashioned way! ;-) Alan Walker http://bonsai-bci.com http://LCBSBonsai.org -----Original Message----- From: Jim Lewis On 16 Sep 2004 at 16:04, Alan Walker wrote: Well, there's Arbor Day! ;-) I guess this is an indication that you made it through Ivan OK, Alan?

We evacuated New Orleans which is why Alan's peace was disturbed. Left
Tuesday and returned Thursday. We had no rain and very little wind. Had to pick up twigs and old limbs (nothing big). Had put all of my trees and benches down, for just is case. Seeing the pictures of what happened to Gulf Shores, we did right. I have a growing area that is without watering system. Lost about 15 trees being grown as material. None of my semi-bonsai were harmed in any way. Many things to be grateful for. Nature encourages no looseness, pardons no errors.
