So happy to realize that it's Pi Day, because I love featuring this painting.
Today we went to the market and enjoyed getting our various tasks
handled driving and walking through sunlight on brand new snow.

Yes it snowed again yesterday. Tonight is movie night, so I wll happily
quote a former blog for Pi day:
"On this date I usually feature this painting, because not being a
math freak, Pi reminds me of pie, and Steven makes the best
cherry pie I've ever tasted. I may forego having pie today.
Tempting though. We had a little conversation about the
math behind Pi at lunch today.
In 2022 this painting won first place, and I won $500
(American) in a contest with the San Fernando Valley
Arts and Cultural Center in California in a virtual exhibition.
That was fantastic. So exciting!
Last night Jimmy Fallon did funny routines about his
audience reciting all the numbers of Pi. And they were
still at it 20 years from now -- it's a long number.

"According to the Huffington Post Pi Day is named after the
Greek symbol π which is the ratio of the circumference of
a circle to its diameter. The first three digits in Pi are 3
(this is the third month) and 14 (the fourteenth day)
= 3.14 or Pi. What better day to eat pie if you get the urge.
And any way you slice it you will not be alone in your
pie indulgence.
I live with a mathematics fiend, (Steven) who has been
known to sleep with a Calculus text beside his bed at the
ready should he feel like reviewing it with his morning coffee.
He also makes a mean cherry pie -- the point of the
painting. The pie."

Have a deliciously-happy-Pi-day.
