The Letter Y

We had a low-key Sunday - we looked up at the sky and noticed that is was damp, but no rain appeared before sunset. It looked like it was trying to rain. We stayed inside in seclusion and moved things around in the office, trying to look busy in case the boss came in. We did some blog research, got our stock ready for shipping.

We looked out at 4:30 and there was a uniform gray color from horizon to horizon. We had to get a few branches from a tree into the photograph, because otherwise, the picture would be just a gray square. We did some research on the Icelandic alphabet, and we found out that the old letters from the old English and Colonial signs where it shows the "Ye" as in "Ye Olde Curiosity Shoppe" is not originally pronounced "Yee". Instead the letter Y was in used as a "Th" sound.

We may have had a hole in our education, or it is not generally known, or if we ever heard it, we did not retain it.
