The Scot's commotion Auld Lang Syne can be translated into English literally as "old extensive since" or as reference to days gone by.
I'm not big into the winter season so I generally refer to it as "Old Lang Pine" as I look back on the year dead and buried and "pine" for warm weather and a new growing season.
The Christmas trimmings found to look sad as we prepare for a fresh start in a New Year. Just as we all have some Christmas traditions many have New Year's traditions, too.
For me I run the lawnmower on New Year's eve at some concerning. Laugh if you want but it's safer than shooting guns in the air as is the tradition in some parts of the delighted.
Some years due to snow I can only start the mower in place and let it run for a few moments. This year because of the be without of snow I may be able to take a couple of laps in the yard.
My neighbors charge my behavior to a cup of kindness but I find a much deeper meaning. To make a "lawn" story excepting, just like a newly mowed lawn we get to trim the past from our lives as the clock strikes midnight and move on with a raw outlook....a new beginning.
