The Year of the Tiger

Ob Saturday the snow had melted around the Buddha in a Maine garden.  I wonder if it is now covered with snow like we are here back in Nova Scotia?

We celebrated the New Year by going to see The Golden Dragon Acrobats. It was a fantastic show. At one time acrobats entertained the emperor's court in the Forbidden City, now the world has come to an auditorium in rural Maine. The world has become so small, but the opportunities to enjoy it have multiplied beyond imagination. Here is the promotional video.



And meanwhile back in Halifax my grandson was at the Tet festivities as the head in the Dragon Dance.

Hey, the head is the fun part of the dragon! Good for him!

Yes, I always thought that the head would be fun - but it seems that it's always boys who get to do it.
