winter loosens her grip
midway point between the winter solstice and the spring equinox
feasting and bonfires
food and music
House cleaning
A celebration, a welcoming, the returning Sun
Don’t loose heart, spring will return.
You would not believe my imaginations, I put myself back in the day this celebration began.
I appreciate my ancestry.

This was a beautiful post, dear friend. And that cake. Made of all of my favorites. Makes me want a piece. Hoping your Imbolc was one of joy and love.
