I am predicting nothing about January 6, but remember that it IS
Orthodox Christmas as well as the final day of the Twelve Days of
Christmas in the West.  The Orthodox church I attended in Seattle
celebrated Christmas on the day we call Epiphany, and that is
traditional in many orthodox churches all over the world, although some
have switched to the West's Christmas on December 25.

So the "little girl" could still be right but that's a big stretch.

I am still hoping my friend Searl's "early spring when the buds just
start to show" is the time.

With the far West about to undergo devastating floods in fire-ravaged
areas, I feel much of America is getting into really heavy "birth
pangs".  It's time for spring buds, oh Lord!
