Shrove Tuesday



The palms are being burnt to make the ashes for tomorrow: Ash Wednesday.

And here's some answers to some questions:

Timmins used to be the biggest city area wise in Canada, but I think that another amalgamation has supplanted us: perhaps it is in British Columbia.

We have known it to snow here every month of the year - so ground hog predictions are a little misleading.

Candlemas is an older name for the Feast of the Presentation which falls on February 2. It is not a Protestant thing, but it is a minor feast day in some churches.

It is so great to hear from you all. I sit at a little computer, just me and the cats, and there is a whole world out there.
