Default How do YOU visualize a year? (hee hee read post #25, comment from DH!)

And as always, I used mostly Dani Mogstad stuff. Because I stalk her. hee.



Here's what I just wrote on my blog to explain it:

Jake asks a lot of questions lately about things like time, days, miles, etc. And we talk a lot about seasons and holidays and months. And as always, I have been thinking of a way to visually explain it to him.

Well for the longest time, whenever I thought of a year calendar, I would see it in my head in the form of a clock, but going counter clockwise. Don't ask me why, this this just what makes sense to me -- it kind of reads left to right in a circle, if you think about it.

Anyway, today I made this (from scratch!) in Photoshop, and I'm going to have it printed at Winkflash as a 16x20 poster.

Jen,

That is how I vizualize a year also - counter clockwise circle. For me the months are sized proportionally to how interesting I think they are!!! December and the summer months are huge and the other months are crammed it.

I am so glad you posted this - everyone else I have mentioned this to seemed to think I was an odd ball!!! Maybe we are just both odd balls. lol

Lena, you'd have to get your legs out of that quickstand to answer the door when the pizza man delivers

But pizza does sound good....

that is VERY good to hear. My best friend thinks I'm NUTS. She's like "WHY is it counter-clock-wise, again?"
