I shall try not to be upset that Patrick gets all the attention!!3 March things I'm grateful for -
Later sunsets! I don't like the transition of changing the clocks, but my circadian rhythm is more matched to DST than EST, so once we're all adjusted, it kind of fits me better.
St. Patrick's Day - I love wearing green, listening to Irish music, etc.
Hints of spring, and (usually, around here) the first really warm days!!
No worries,I recently followed a few of you lovely people just to see how that all works, but I didn't find it enhanced by experience. So, I'm back to following nobody! It's nothing personal - I still love you all just as much!
So, I just looked and St David’s Day is today!No worries,
And I promise to read more about St. David's Day!
(I have some Welsh ancestry on my Dad's side, so I probably should have already.)
Today is March 1st St David's Day! ...the feast of St David, the patron saint of Wales (not to be confused with England )
Wales I'm grateful for the country I grew up in - and specifically the town.
Daffodils One of the symbols of Wales and St David's Day. And such a bright, sunny part of nature this time of year.
Leeks Another symbol. As kids we often pinned daffodils or leeks to our jumpers on March 1st. If it was a leek it felt special (somehow!) to eat bits of the leek in lessons. The kids who tried the same with daffodils didn't fare so well!
So, I just looked and St David’s Day is today!
My family did visit Wales and it’s beautiful.
During WWII my dad was stationed in Wales before DDay, He stayed with a family and in the sixties the daughter visited us. She was a nurse and worked for a year in NYC.
Sadly we have lost touch. We tried to find the family in 1998, but we couldn’t.
