St Gobnait, a 6th-century saint, celebrated on 11th February, was born in Co. Clare, and later established her convent in Ballyvourney. She is the patron saint of bees, and legend says she defended her community by turning marauders away with swarms of bees.

And it snowed, and it snowed, and it kept on snowing. Toronto Canada on Sunday evening. I had to shovel a path for them to have a bathroom break in my tiny backyard. Then Ottley joyously created a second path for all three Doggos to enjoy.

The Bored of Peace (aka the Legion of Doom) is in session. Interesting choices — except for Captain Worf. Not sure why he was invited to this Axis meeting... Perhaps all Klingons look the same to tRump and he meant to invite General Chang or the Duras Sisters? IYKYK.
