It's March 1, St. David's Day, the Welsh national holiday. This day commemorates the death in 588 A.D. of David of Wales, a holy man who is remembered for drinking only water, and for his abilities as a preacher and teacher.
It's traditional on St. David's Day to wear a daffodil and eat leeks in some form. Tonight I think we'll have lamb with braised leeks! And it's a good excuse to sing, as if any Welsh person needed an excuse.
This March 1st in Baltimore is chilly and windy. If the old saying is correct ("In like a lion, out like a lamb"), spring is on its way.
