I am really loving your blog! I am not sure about this specifically but the reference to St Patrick banishing snakes from Ireland could be a euphemism for his converting the druids to Catholicism. When I was a pagan witch, some of used to post things online on St Patrick's day that had a little arrow pointing towards our profile pictures,with the caption, "Hey St Patrick! You missed one!" 🤦♀️
Waiting for Spring seems to take forever…but in the meantime, we food gardeners can rest, marshaling our energy for the next 7 months of planting/weeding/harvesting/putting up…!

We thought it was clever anyway lol.
SO glad to be on the side of St. Patrick now!
That's a really interesting take on the banished snakes, and makes sense. And does make for a clever byline, giving credit where it's due!
Thank you so much for reading, Laurie!
My pleasure! Please keep writing!

So true! I have to remember the exhaustion that sets in by October.
