Year of the Pig


Happy Chinese New Year - Kung hei fat choy. 
 Welcome to the Year of the Pig. 

If you were born in the Year of the Pig (1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007, 2019) - what wonderful people you are ....

  Men born in the Pig year are optimistic and gentle. They are very focused. Once they decide on a goal, they’ll put everything into it. 

 Women born in the Pig year are full of excitement. They attend social events whenever possible and treat everyone genuinely. Combined with their easygoing personality, they gain everyone’s trust.

Have a great year, one and all.

#SeptTextileLove26 Day 4

Cicadas spend years underground as nymphs feeding on root sap, emerging en masse as winged adults for a few days, perhaps a week, to mate and lay eggs in tree branches, then die, leaving the eggs to hatch into new nymphs that burrow underground to restart the cycle.  The dormant underground phase of the cicada’s life can be from 2-17 years! In my interpretation, this forest matriarch offers a safe place for cicadas to lay eggs, only to cause their own demise … but the continuing life cycle is ensured.
