Happy Imbolc

It's the pagan holiday Imbolc today. The day falling exactly between the Solstice and the Equinox. The Native Americans used to refer to the next full moon as the Sap Moon because maple trees can be tapped soon. Chickens start laying and the four footed livestock are getting close to kidding, lambing or calfing. Carnival is this week and the long fast of Lent begins soon.

Happy Early Spring

Aren't our chickens laying this week? And we have one kidding going on.

Happy Imbolc, my love!
