Cailleach

Cailleach

In Gaelic mythology, a "cailleach" is a "hag" or "old woman". In Ireland, she is the embodiment of the Dark Mother or Harvest Queen. She usually appears in late fall and brings in all the winter storms.  With all this cold weather lingering on, I believe the Cailleach is busy keeping her counterpart, Brighid, the Goddess of Summer..away for as long as she can.😐

Planning on an outing today with hubby, who has a dental appointment in Tucson.  We will go to my favorite place for an early dinner, Sullivans!!

Lately we have been talking vacation planning for 2019. However, now that he has decided to retire next March, we may just hold off taking a vacation until after the dust settles. I have been patiently waiting to travel since I retired almost 2 years ago. (WOW! Time flies by so quickly!) I have a bucket list of Ireland, France, Italy, Spain and Egypt.  I am also still holding out hope we will get to Hawaii one day, even if my legs might not be able to withstand all the walking. I could just lay on the beach and soak in the sun!! Actually, that appeals to me right now...a tropical drink and watching the waves crash on the shore.  🌴💓
