Red Letter Day - March 1st is St. David's Day

Flag of Wales

Dydd Gŵyl Dewi (St David's Day) is tomorrow (Saturday March 1st )
It's the national Holiday of Wales,  sort of like Canada Day,  or I guess Wales Day. 

Wiki link with history and current info
Link to Recipes for St David's Day   
I was going to link to some Welsh  beer at the LCBO but couldn't find any.

Below are Daffodils & Leeks & symbols of wales,  & 'Cawl'  a type of welsh soup or stew.

March will have quite a few more Red Letter Day's, so stay tuned.

Pic Of the Day - Snowed In

Today we have a bit of a tourist photo. It's taken from River Road (Niagara Falls Ontario) looking down to the bottom of the gorge on the lower Niagara River (the river AFTER it goes over the falls). Being in a 56M gorge more snow & ice accumulate than above and give you geat views like this even when the streets are clean and the sun is out "up top".

Spring is Coming ?

A bit of wishful thinking & forshadowing for today. These spring flowers are from a few years ago.  I found a an old folder with some photos I hasd meant to post at the time but never did.  I may  post a few more over the next little while.
