Today is Saint David's Day, the patron saint of Wales. It's a day for the Welsh people to celebrate! Many Welsh people wear one or both of the national emblems of Wales on their lapel to celebrate St. David: the daffodil (a generic Welsh symbol which is in season during March) or the leek (Saint David's personal symbol) on this day. The association between leeks and daffodils is strengthened by the fact that they have similar names in Welsh, Cenhinen (leek) and Cenhinen Bedr (daffodil, literally "Peter's leek"). Males usually wear leeks while young girls wear daffodils. The younger girls usually wear their Welsh costumes to school. This costume consists of a long woollen skirt, white blouse, woollen shawl and a Welsh hat. The Welsh flag is always flown in honour of St. David on days in which he is honoured or commemorated.

March 4th is the Ohio Primary, when we help choose our political party's candidate for President. March 9th is my sister's birthday.

Spring is quickly approaching, which is a nice thought. We just had a really big snowstorm, it will be nice when that weather is over for the season However, the weather for the next week is supposed to be good. I certainly hope it is, as next weekend, I'm heading over with forum member caimbeulach to Cape Breton to attend a weekend session at the Gaelic College ;D. I'm very excited, as I know a few people who have been there before, and they have all told me that it's a lot of fun. That's my exciting adventure for this month ;D Cheers, Ginny

Happy March to All I am so excited for you Ginny have a blast in Cape Breton, you lucky dog I have had the very good fortune of finding my own apartment and I did it in four days. I saw an ad for the apt on Thursday and by monday it was mine. I get to move in on the 15th. I am out of my mind with excitement I can hardly contain myself This is the first time I have ever had to do this on my own and I did but of course I know my mom in heaven had alot to do with it to, I don't think without her help it would've been as easy.

Hi Eliza Rose,
How's the new apartment? Hope you are settling in OK.
Hi Tia,
How was the Zombie Prom?
It was a busy week here...last Saturday, Hillary Clinton appeared at the St. Patrick's Day Parade in Scranton. Yesterday, Barack Obama was also in the area!

So far the apartment move is going. I should happily be completely out of the old place no later than Friday I have lived in my new apartment happily since saturday the 15th ;D. My brother, my cats and I are settling in well. It is such a sweet little place, perfect for singing music and the Cottars (hee hee) thanks for asking Joe ElizaRose/AnamCara
