February started with cold sunshine, but has already turned warm, rainy, and windy, with ice pellets. My apartment started flooding. It’s a pain, but it’s livable. I try not to store things on the floor anyway.

Imbolc, Candlemas, Groundhog Day, the Feast Day of St. Brigid: today is a day for weather and for candles. There was certainly plenty of weather today. The warm rain teases of a spring three months away; but, the days are getting longer, and a candle in the window helps welcome the darkness while it would stay.
