I noticed the signs of cardinals before I ever heard what they stood for, and I believe it. : ) You would not believe some of the signs I've received from cardinals and I make no apologies to anyone on that. : ) One morning after one of our daughter's weddings (God usually sends some kind of sign from loved ones in His way) I heard a loud singing, warbling sound. We don't have warblers here that I know of...I could not figure out where the unique singing was coming from. I looked to my left and I see a beautiful bright yellow bird and a beautiful red cardinal side by side looking in at me singing their little hearts out! <br /><br />When one of our little dauchsund passed away suddenly there was a white feather that appeared on my daughter's black jacket. A beautiful huge owl came swooping down close too that next morning...We've had pennies drop down before in our home. Our daughter exclaimed...Where did that come from?! Pennies from Heaven? Maybe so?<br /><br />Some of the little things I've heard was my Italian mom saying it's bad luck to buy basil already planted and grown, you must start with seed. Also, raining on a wedding day brings good luck. And she's a real stickler on her cabbage and black eyed peas on New Years eve. lol My Italian grandma used to say that you never gift anyone with a knife or knives. <br /><br />One of my favorite sayings is when I see a patch of blue in the sky I will say..."Just enough to make a Dutchman's britches!" <br /><br />You must be a toughie! Haha! I cannot go outside even if it's cool with wet hair, I end up with a sore throat! Found that one out when I was around 20.<br /><br />My dad used to say: "Sin in haste, repent in leisure". <br /><br />Hope you are doing well this evening. I've been with our Littles, I played a game of Candy Land with a very old vintage-look board with the little girl & boy and then Pick up Sticks with one of my little four year old grandsons...So sweet! He's enjoying reruns of Mr. Rogers too here today that I recorded. He loved them...<br /><br /><br /><br />Ameliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09093408888499365118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-19960617743143490722023-03-29T18:10:39.483-04:002023-03-29T18:10:39.483-04:00I think I remember learning some from school as we...I think I remember learning some from school as well.<br />Yeah, how many times we stepped on the cracks and mom was fine!!!!

I do think of it as a "visitor" from a loved one who has passed. And red sky at night ... always some truth in that! A classmate once questioned something I said with "what's that got to do with the price of rice in China?" Huh???? But I always laugh and smile when that saying comes to mind.

If you drop a knife it means that company is coming. If you marry in haste you'll repent at leisure. If your palm itches it means that money is coming. Don't throw the baby out with the bath water. A stitch in time saves 9. It's interesting and fun to see all the superstitions. On an off topic, I just received Tamara Adler's (The Everlasting Meal author) new cookbook today. It's more than I ever expected and over 500 pages. I'm looking forward to sitting down this evening and starting to read it.
