On this wondrous day,
- whether they are simple strings
or cutefied figurines; the important thing is
that they are red and white!
(Hey - like Santa! But, surely,
that is just a mere coincidence...)
It's all about heralding spring coming
-at long last- after the depressing
winter temperatures...
(Ha - they didn't know
how cozy they got it
until they saw minus 35 degrees
-Celsius, but still-
in La Canada...!
But that is another story...)

Happy Baba Marta Day,
Bulgaria!
Old Man Winter is about to croak -
thanks, in part, to an old cranky granny...!
Take that, Russia and Romania!
;-)
Whether it is a stork, swallow or crane you see,
or the first sign of a soon-to-be blossomed tree
good times are just around the corner
which will find you luckier and healthier!
(For warmer...!)
Though as heartwarming as any account can be,
back in the ''old country'' (as some extradited souls
would say today) while being a tad too
sentimental and nostalgic
cannot avoid making us remark
that their white martenista there
looks so much like
alas...!
:-(
We're in a state of shock over this -
courtesy, ironically, of Shutterstock!
Although, in their more generic forms,
neither one should evoke
any goofish creation
several centuries younger...!
In fact, the two dolls made of strings
have a name:
Pizho the male in white (?)
and Penda the female in red
(ah, hence
no? Oh - okay.)
Anyway... Once again...
Must be that Bulgarian ingenuity at work again -
that which makes them compulsively
pull each other down the ladder...?
Unless it's just Blogger Boogery again.
But that's another story!
