12 Days of Christmas-Day 4

Day 4-Four Calling Birds 

Call me - maybe?

The fourth day lyric seems to have come about because of a bit of a mix-up.   Originally the lyrics mentioned 4 "colly/collie" birds NOT "calling birds".   Of course to most of us that doesn't make any more sense than the modern "calling birds".   However, it might when I share a bit of trivia with you.   Colly/Collie refers to black birds.  Colly was a slang term to refer to black originating from the term used by coal miners.  Aren't you e going to be fount of trivia by the time we are done!  

Since I didn't really know or find anything too interesting on blackbirds I  think I'll share something in connection the the modern day lyric, Enjoy

Rollin' through Summer

Wow, can you believe July is almost over, before you know it we will be thinking of ghouls, goblins, and pumpkins oh my! 

Where does the time go?   But before it's all a distant sweaty blur make sure to take a little time  to enjoy the remaining summer months. Before you know it we will all be wishing for the hot humid days of  July.   I know when I was up to my knees in snow this last winter that's all I could think about.  

Now looking back on it I can only dream of a foot of snow.   Ahh those were the days, pass me an icicle will ya?  

Happy Summer
