He's Baaack!

There he is popping up out of the snow!  It's St. Fiacre or what we sometimes call him, St. Fiasco!  When we are having a bad gardening season, we tend to take it out on poor St. Fiacre!  St. Fiacre is the patron saint of gardeners and Paris cab drivers.  He was originally Irish and sailed the seas to France.  He settled in the region of Brie and had a garden where he healed many.  Cab drivers were called fiacres in the 17th century after the Hotel Saint-Fiacre in Paris.  So spring is just 27 days away!  Think spring!  We just have to get through February.  We haven't had a February like this one for quite awhile!  Hope you are warm and safe wherever you may be.  Talk to you later.
