[Magdalen] Imbolc

[Charles Wohlers]

Well, Burlington, VT, hit a record high for the day this AM of 53F. So maybe 
it is a harbinger of Spring?

And, in hono(u)r of St. Brigid, here are some not-very-good pictures of a 
visit to St. Brigid's church in Kildare, some years ago:

up is on my lengthy list of Things To Do.)

Today marks Imbolc, the harbinger of Spring.  It's also the day of Brigid.
One of the greatest of the Celtic Gods, and later they tried to tame her
with sainthood.
That the Great Lady can kick some serious butt was shown by her winning of
the Golden Halo in last year's Lenten Madness.
