Bliadhna mhath ùr, Scottish Gaelic for Happy New Year. This week, New Year Postcards have begun winging their way across the country. Today I'm sharing one for New York and one from Ohio. I'll be placing these on my Poe-tree.

oooooh! How wonderful the lake from NY and the shiny penny from Ohio. I love the postcard exchange. And, I'm thankful that you organize it. What a lovely thought...the full moon making poetry wishes. And, your gallic is sounding good! Happy New Year, Jone! 1/1/2021 07:30:18 am
Thank you for sharing both Carol's and Mary Lee's postcard treats, Jone! And for your Scottish Gaelic poetry reading. Brava! :) 1/1/2021 07:31:33 am
I didn't know you were taking these language lessons, Jone. That is a special challenge for sure! Beautifully done! I've started to receive the cards, too, a blessing in the mail! Thank you, and Happy New Year to you & yours!

Lovely poem Jone, sounds so peaceful, thanks for this gift on a very snowy, dark, blustery Chicago day… Happy New Year!

Having lived for five years in Scotland and learned a wee bit of Gaelic myself - just a WEE bit, mind - it was especially lovely to hear you read. Well done to you! Happy Hogmanay! 1/1/2021 03:11:04 pm

Oh, Jone, you KNOW how this post makes my heart sing!!! LOVED hearing your read your wonderful original poem. It's going to take me a good while to catch up with you, but you are an inspiration. Thanks for sharing both lovely postcards, too, and for organizing the swap - I've received a couple already as well, and just got something I ordered so that I can get mine out. ;0) Bliadhna mhath ùr!
