Beginning with 1-20-21, we hit a week with palindromic dates, numbers that read the same forwards and backwards. Today, 1-21-21, is my brother's birthday (Happy Birthday, Paul!). Because the units in each day of [20, 21, 22, ..., 29] are in the middle of the sequence, these ten days in January of 2021 will form a palindrome of the fashion 1-2x-21.
The same thing will occur in February of 2022 with 2-2x-22. Next year will include the noteworthy 2-22-22, which should be fun to say out loud. Then stand by for March 2023 and 3-2x-23. You can see the pattern forming here.
But that's enough of numerology for today. How are things in the Garden or the garden or the sunroom? The long shafts of winter sun illuminate the entire sunroom, even to the extent that some of the shade-loving Bigonias are getting sunburned leaves. The Bougainvillea is happily blooming, responding well to the winter sunshine, careful fertilization last fall, and mild nighttime temperatures. The latter is due to our keeping the mini-split thermostat set at 64° overnight, which lets the room temperature fluctuate from 62° to 72°.
