lauradi7dwI wore my equinox/solstice shirt to tap this morning (it has suns and moons on it).
I wondered why so many school-age kids were in public, not in school, then I realized that Lexington schools were closed for Eid al-Fitr.
I again made soup for Nowruz (which I don't observe otherwise).

This time I used rice linguine instead of whatever noodle was originally Persian. Still delicious.
I texted a 2024 photo of Arthur's late father (whose birthday this was) about to blow out candles on a cake. Thought of my late friend Linda, also her birthday.
The first BTS album in years (as a whole group) was released today. I planned to go to an actual store and buy a physical CD, but when I called Newbury comics, the goods hadn't arrived, so I listened on youtube. There is a track called No. 29. It is just a bell sound and then silence. Or not silence, maybe my ears aren't good enough to hear the lingering vibrations. It's this bell

Flo and I saw it when we were there in 2024, but didn't hear it. It's almost never rung. That's OK - it's over 1200 years old, and deserves a rest. I presume the producers of the album used an old recording.

On the 18th, the anniversary of my mother's death, Flo's family, my sister and her husband, and I had a zoom gathering. I also (as I have before) wore my mother's blue shirt. Today I was in the supermarket and saw butter pecan ice cream for sale. I think of it as a southern thing, and I have seen the claim online that it has a racist background that I could hardly believe - Black people were not allowed to buy vanilla ice cream so they made up other flavors? At any rate, there it was, and I bought some, thinking of Mama.
