Spring is Springing Up All Over

I loved the Google Doodle from the Fall Equinox that I had to post the one for Spring Equinox. I was just going to flip the graphics on the page but I decided to lookup the one Google posted for 2017.

This Spring Equinox 2017 Google Doodle has magical quality to it. A mouse wakes up in his underground home and goes above ground to get a daffodil to put in a vase, then he goes back to sleep and the flower disappears from his home and grows above ground. Magic!

Don’t you think its odd he has a broom? I mean he lives in a hole filled with dirt! Does he sweep all the dirt under the doormat?

Perhaps a future Google Doodle will show him spring cleaning and the dirt will magically disappear. It reminds me of another mouse named Mickey who had a broom and well, things got a little out of hand. But that’s a story for another day.

We are Live on the Equinox but Which Equinox is It?

Is it the Fall Equinox or the Spring Equinox? Let’s see what Google is showing:

First Day of Fall 2016 in Northern Hemisphere

First Day of Spring 2016 (Southern Hemisphere)

First Day of Spring 2016 in Southern Hemisphere

I gotta say it: aren’t those rocks cute? Here’s a shout-out to the creative minds behind them. Thanks, Google Doodle team! Keep up the good work or goo(d) play!

My blog was scheduled to debut 6 months ago on the Spring Equinox 2016. I don’t know if we got caught in an Interdimensional Timeline Loop if there is such a thing. Maybe Interdimensional Timeline Loops are yet to be discovered in the Quantum Mechanical-Physics World, or QM-PW as a few call it here in Wonderland. We’ll explore that phenomenal world together some other time or in no time at all. It’s all relative, my dear Watson.

I have to throw out the possibility that Interdimensional Timeline Loop (or ittles as I call them) might be something that I just made up. If that is the case then I have to buckle down on my theory and write a grant to study it so I can sit down and stare into the endless formless void to do the extremely important task of daydreaming for research. I have weirdly erratic sleep patterns so I might be doing some of my research at night. As I’m staring into the endless formless void, the space between the stars, my eyes might be drawn to a star or two. It’s just natural. And you know what happens when a star shines back at you, don’t you? Well, that’s another blog post for another day.

But anyway, back to the subject at hand. It’s the Fall Equinox here in the Northern Hemisphere of Wonderland. On the other hand, it is the Spring Equinox in the Southern Hemisphere of Wonderland right now. So it’s all relative to where you are standing in the world. But what if you are standing on the equator with one foot in both hemispheres? Or what if you are a fish like Nemo or Dory and you are swimming in circles around the equator in the ocean?

You know, technically, you could be in both hemispheres on the same day if you travel from one latitude to the other on the other side of the equator.  Then you could see leaves fall and flowers blossom on the same day! That would be so cool, wouldn’t it? It might be cool or not, depending on the weather. Today it was warm where I was and I had to use the air conditioner. It felt more like the first day of summer here except for the occasional warm yellow color of leaves on trees and the rice-crispy brown ones on the ground.

It’s my hope that you enjoy this blog and find it amusing, life-affirming, insightful, creative, educational, puzzling, motivating, uplifting, brain blowing, inspiring, mind-numbing, boggling or just plain silly. Maybe one or all of them at the same time. Kind of like a mix-and-match smorgasbord of thought patterns. I like to make people laugh and/or think or think about laughing or laugh while thinking. I’m an overly creative sort of person who likes to mix metaphors as I dance like a duckie (because I’m not at all graceful like a swan).

Sometimes you can be so overly creative that you really can’t tell what is imagination and what is reality.

And that, my friends, can be a good thing.

Because as one kooky-haired intellectual named Albert Einstein so aptly put it years ago, “Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.”

And that is what I intend to do with this blog, to take you everywhere.

Just as the late great Gene Wilder took us on a journey as Willy Wonka, I hope to take you to places that you can only discover with your imagination.

Come with me and you’ll be
In a world of pure imagination…

Always,
Alice Always
