Jericho Mystery Photo #5: Mermaid Sighting

     What with Valentine’s Day fast approaching a mermaid sighting in Jericho, Vt.  is bound to bring thoughts of romance. Jericho residents - be aware, though it is said that Mermaids attract, hypnotize and seduce sailors with their shrill and fascinating voices; they are humble and benevolent and always helpful to humankind. To have a rare sighting of a Mermaid in Jericho in February suggests that songs drifting across the air might be coming from seductive yet kind Mermaids. Take ye heed not to the Mermaid’s seduction but consider her thoughts on how to treat a dearest loved one on Valentine’s Day.  Listen carefully and you will hear this is what her soft sweet carols explore: 

     Why? Why do you love me, still? Why did you choose me then and now? Do I make you happy – tell me how. Sometimes, and Valentine’s Day is a good time, show your partner that you care with small gestures and cues throughout the day: long hugs (over 20 seconds), love notes, an evening walk together holding hands. Use Valentine’s Day as an opportunity to dedicate time to one and only one person as though this was your first date together.

     Appreciation. If you wish to buy flowers, candles, candy (or substitute sweet and colorful vegetables, fruits, and nuts)

Heart Beets

be sure to customize your gift to show that you notice what your partner likes. Find a special way to show her the beauty you see in her, the special traits that allure her to you, and make him or her feel appreciated. Share everyday chores and when the other person does even routine chores like washing dishes, laundry 

or yard work, thank them immediately thereafter.

     Seduction. Everyone can be seductive by projecting the conviction of their beauty or handsomeness. Dress neatly and noticeably. Though words are not enough, words do reach us, warm and even excite us, when used to express feelings of caring and love. Poems need not rhyme, love letters need not be of Shakespearean verse. Say it sweetly in your own way.

     Make a splash. Add excitement, fun, laughter to the mix. 

Swim freely with each other be it at a movie, building a snowman together, even sledding, tobogganing or snowshoeing, whatever you might enjoy together, just the two of you.

   

    This week's Jericho Mystery photo is indeed an enticing Mermaid. Have you seen her in Jericho? This Valentine’s Day notice all the beauty, seductive traits, and kindness in your partner and the Jericho Mermaid may wink at you the next time you drive by her abode.
