ROPE - The strength of rope is it's tiny strands, bound together, intertwined, with a beginning and an end, can twist, get into knots, form links, carry heavy loads, help guide us, or end a life.
WELCOME SPRING - Maybe not yet. According to Punxsutawney Phil's Groundhog Day 2010 prediction was six more weeks of winter, as he did see his shadow. Oh well, what do groundhogs know!

BOTTOMS UP - Swans feed in the water obtaining food by up-ending or dabbling, and their diet is composed of the roots, tubers, stems and leaves of aquatic and submerged plants. In Greek mythology, Zeus took the form of a swan to seduce the beautiful Leda, the wife of Tyndareus, the king of Sparta. The swan was also associated with Aphrodite/Venus, who had a chariot that went through the air pulled by two swans. Native Americans think of the swan as a symbol of trust. The song of a dying swan is thought to be one of the joy of entering the afterlife.
