What if flowers faded to feathers and caught the frost in their old age?

Yesterday I played secretary at a meeting. As usual, I doodled..

Vi Hart has a new math doodling video, about the twelve days of Christmath. She points out that in the twelve-days-of-Christmas song, the gifts can be divided into three categories: birds (partridge, turtledoves, French hens, calling birds, geese, swans), humans (maids, ladies, lords, pipers, drummers), and an anomaly (golden rings). [livejournal.com profile] wakanomori says, "It makes you think it must all be about the anomaly."

Wakanomori found an anomaly in the town newspaper--a legal notice that shouts out "STORY!"


of Lawrence J. Bronner, Sr., deceased, formerly of Belchertown, Massachusetts, and any other persons who claim an interest in certain real estate known as 31 Hamilton Street, Belchertown, Hampshire County, Massachusetts:

A Complaint to Quiet Title to said real estate has been filed in the Hampshire Probate and Family Court by Diane R. Keedy. Said Complaint alleges that Plaintiff has occupied the property actually, peaceably, openly, notoriously, exclusively, continuously, and adversely, with claim of right for a period exceeding twenty (20) years against the Defendants, that she has acquired by adverse possession any and all interest that the Defendants may have possessed in and to said property, and/or that she has effected an ouster of any co-tenants claiming an interest through Lawrence J. Bronner, Sr. The Complaint requests a Judgment which declares that Plaintiff is seized in fee simple of the property and that the Defendants and their heirs, assigns, devisees, and legal representatives are strictly and permanently enjoined and restrained from claiming or asserting any right, title or interest in and to the property. (emphasis mine)



There's more--about what the heirs, successors, assigns, etc. have to do to contest Ms. Keedy's claim--but I thought the part I just quoted was ... impressive. So Mr. Bronner died, leaving, apparently, no heirs, and Ms Keedy lived in his house for twenty years after that, and now, by virtue of that fact, she wants title to the property.

My questions are--what is a devisee? And how do you live both peaceably and notoriously in a place? And adversely? [ETA: never mind--I found the answers]

Last but not least, I got a calendar from Bread and Puppets. Each month is a woodblock print and a line from a hymn in the Sacred Harp. This month's line is, Lo, what a glorious sight appears. Glorious, like frosted feather flowers?
