The Feast of Saint Brigid

A very welcome feast.

Today is the feast day of St. Brigid, which also marks the end of my beer fast through Dry January. I may have to reschedule the dry month for a less tiresome season in the future. Today as on other years, though, it is a festive day here. 

I did get a motorcycle ride today as hoped, too. Leaving behind a miserable January of intense cold, sickness, and sobriety is very welcome. To your health!

    Our weather has turned much better since the early January snow and cold. It was odd heading back home to Iowa and finding *less* snow there in January. We're almost unseasonably warm and the snow has dwindled to the odd mound tossed off streets and sidewalks. Had a good day on the railroad as well.

    Lent or advent Before the great feasts of Christmas and Easter are traditionally periods of abstinence, fasting, and prayer

    Give up beer during these times perhaps
