Friday the 13th

Friday the 13th will hit on the 2026 calendar three times this year.

First, it was last month. Then, this month (i.e., today). The last will come in November.

Enjoy your day!

Happy Valentine's Day, Etc.

 

First of all, Happy Valentine's Day!

Yesterday (Friday the 13th, by the way), we had steady light rain for most of the day. This will be a big help to the plants and trees. 

It did snow a little bit after I got home from Gallup where I had dinner at Jerry's Café. But it was too warm out to last and it melted as soon as it hit the ground. Still, we are happy to get the rain. It rained all the way to and from Gallup. We got a good soak.

We aren't forecast for any real precipitation today, the next chance for rain/snow will start Monday night, according to the National Weather Service.

Guess What Today Is?

From Wikipedia:

Friday the 13th is considered an unlucky day in Western superstition. It occurs when the 13th day of the month in the Gregorian calendar falls on a Friday, which happens at least once every year but can occur up to three times in the same year – for example, in 2015, the 13th fell on a Friday in February, March, and November. 2017 through 2020 will all have two Friday the 13ths, and the years 2021 and 2022 will have just one occurrence each. 

A Friday the 13th occurs during any month that begins on a Sunday.
