The Greek Mythology Behind Hyacinths
Pieces of Time
“How did it get so late so soon? It's night before it's afternoon. December is here before it's June. My goodness how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon?”
― Dr. Seuss
The first pocket watch known to measure time in minutes was in 1556. The watch was invented in the Ottoman Empire by Taqi al-Din.
First of the Month
I'd like to be a lighthouse
All scrubbed and painted white.
I'd like to be a lighthouse
And stay awake all night
To keep my eye on everything
That sails my patch of sea; I'd like to be a lighthouse
With the ships all watching me.

"The goal is to capture one thing repeatedly on the first of each month. It can be a landscape, a person, an animal, a project; whatever your focus is. It can even be a record of where you are each First of the Month.
Linky opens each month on the 1st, and remains open for a week"
